Apr 22, 2021Honestly I thought it was great. I was left wanting more every episode and the BIG TWIST? I honestly didn't see it coming. 10/10 would recommend.

Sep 19, 2016Dead of summer is a fun little series with surprisingly compelling characters and a decent body count. The supernatural/slasher/horror concept is quite ambitious, but it falls a little flat due to inconsistent & incomprehensible mythology. The 80s nostalgia is incredibly fun and there are genuine dramatic highs for the characters. But even still, the clunky writing taints the experience a little. The show definitely gets points for aiming really high, even if it doesnt quite hit. The 10 hours of Dead of summer wont particularly terrify or exhilarate you, but this is definitely not a waste of your summer. A must see for Supernatural enthusiasts.

Sep 15, 2016Tame but watchable lightweight horror series is what you expect from the old ABC family network.

Aug 31, 2016Dead of Summer starts off as your typical teen horror series that we've seen a million times however the more it went the more it dived deep into it's characters who all end up being a lot more compelling than you would think and the show honestly got pretty creepy in many scenes but by far the biggest thing that standouts is a twist near the end of the season that not only changes everything but makes the show so much more worthwhile and unpredictable and makes it stand out as something that definitely was rarely seen by many and in many cases i think is the first great show Freeform has had to offer that hopefully comes back for a Season 2 to dive deeper into character's past even though one half of the show is concluded it doesn't mean the whole half has to be. Grade for the Season: A-

Aug 31, 2016There are a lot worse things ti watch. I recall a lot of bad 80's horror movies and although this not great it is not the worst I have seen. Yes the characters are bland and the script predictable and boring as well as clunky but with the blood and gore and a bit of cgi to cheer it up a bit it does give it a bit more appeal. Something to watch over a few drinks and share with a few friends even if its only to shred its cliches and shortfalls at least you will get something out of it. For a better choice watch Slasher its far more superior than this!
