What is Hell of a Summer about?
The official logline for the movie on IMDb reads:
"The counselors of a summer camp are terrorized by a masked killer."
Hell of a Summer is a horror-comedy brought to life by Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, who co-wrote and co-directed it and appeared on screen.
The film centers around Jason Hochberg, a 24-year-old camp counselor returning to Camp Pineway for the summer. What starts as a nostalgic weekend quickly turns into a nightmare when a masked killer begins picking off the staff one by one before the campers even show up.
With a cast led by Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Pardis Saremi, Rosebud Baker, and Adam Pally, the film walks the line between slasher terror and offbeat humor. Wolfhard and Bryk said their goal was to flip Gen Z stereotypes and make something fresh, stating "a tribute to and a reinvention of the slasher genre."
Premiering at TIFF in 2023 and hitting US theatres in April 2025 via Neon, the film runs 88 minutes and is made on a $2.1 million budget. It grossed just over $3.1 million globally. The movie's soundtrack features Day After Day by Badfinger, adding nostalgic melancholy to the film's eerie atmosphere.
