SUMMER OF 84 is a delightfully nostalgic, incredibly tense, and in the end, honestly brutal horror film. The story brings to mind Rear Window and Fright Night, but this old fashioned spook-fest no doubt stands on it's own.

Just think Stranger Things but replace supernatural with brutal true-crime and you get one of the best films of 2018.… Expand

This movie doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Does it have problems? Of course it does, I can only name one that may be a detriment to the average veiwer. But even then it leads into the best finale I've seen in a horror movie. IncrediblyThis movie doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Does it have problems? Of course it does, I can only name one that may be a detriment to the average veiwer. But even then it leads into the best finale I've seen in a horror movie. Incredibly underrated, excellent soundtrack, great protagonists, and worth at least one or two watches.

Pero por el giro de la peli en la ultima media hora, es muy excelente, magnifico, shokeante. El final es de los mejores en este tio de pelis de "Ventana indiscreta".

Not too much to say. The poster more or less says it all. It's a 80s as hell thriller, essentially it's Disturbia meets Goonies. It's popcorn friendly fun with some scares. Everything is as cliched as possible and yet, done right and withNot too much to say. The poster more or less says it all. It's a 80s as hell thriller, essentially it's Disturbia meets Goonies. It's popcorn friendly fun with some scares. Everything is as cliched as possible and yet, done right and with respect, making it enjoyable.

Overall: This movie feels like it was made in the 80s and has all the charm 80s thrills and flare. Cheese, but good cheese.… Expand

In a 1980s town where everyone leaves their kids alone for long stretches of time even though a child murderer is on the loose.

Only the cast of Stranger Things can bring him to justice but first they need to use the plot of Rear Window to stop him. Overall not a bad film, though far from original, but I was entertained.… Expand
