Cruel Summer (2016)
2/10
Not Palatable at all
18 September 2018
It would seem this movie was inspired by the "scythe killing on camping holiday" of Terry Hurst in 2004/5? which does indeed make it all the more frightning - Unfortunately despite some great camera work the acting is absolutely terrible , most noteworthy Danny Miller as the lead protaganist Nicholas

Natalie Martins and Richard Pawulski are slightly better - According to interviews with some of the cast - there were a lot of improvised dialogue and it does show - where did they get the "actors" who played Danny's Mum and Dad from ????

It was a brave attempt to tell this story - but I feel with a better cast and director it could have been so much better.
