Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Absolutely Fantastic

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This TV series had the slowest build up in existence. Episodes 1-5 it seems to drag on, like the person who wrote the script was just throwing in random things in an attempt to make a 10 episode series. The first half of the show was more a teen drama than a horror mystery. However, if you manage to power through the first half of the series it does begin to get better. I don't think the last few episodes were enough to save this series but it made a decent try. If they had just changed up the first few episodes or else made this series a 8 episode series then this would be a much better show.

I started watching this show before reading any reviews and I'm glad I did, because the reviews might have pushed me away, but I ended up loving the show! It's one of my favorites now.First of all, what my summary says. After I finished watching, I figured out that it seems to be a mix of two of my favorite TV shows: Stranger Things and Scream. This is probably why I love this show. Plus, the producers also produced Once Upon a Time and Lost, both of which I enjoy/ed watching! If you like any of the above shows, I definitely recommend that you give Dead of Summer a chance!Plus, there are so many plot twists along the way that it kept my interest. At first, the show might not seem as if it sticks out, but I recommend that you keep watching because it certainly made an impression on me. I also love the characters and the fact that we got to see their backgrounds and how their pasts effected them and shaped their personalities. There's character development, from the flashbacks to present time and how they react to things. They really stick to these personalities, too, and I love that. They're not all over the place and they don't suddenly just change. You at least see a build up. It's these reasons that I ended up loving Dead of Summer.

The most "politically correct over-the-top" TV show I've ever seen in my life. They've got it all: the slut, the gay guy, the transgender, the drug dealer, the deputy sheriff, the inter-racial relationship, the young guy and old woman relationship, the summer camp, the devil- worshippers... What more could you ask for. It's easily the worst show on television. Easily. The writers are either juvenile fatheads in a room full of dope smoke or geniuses who know exactly what appeals to these hipster-millenials who don't have a clue what the world is about. I watch it for all the wrong reasons, I guess. But it really is a joy to watch. Sort of like watching "Plan 9 From Outer Space."

I had hopes for this show when I saw the trailer. However, when I saw the first couple of episodes, I came to the conclusion that the show was going nowhere. The setting is set in the 80s, but the characters that are displayed show little to no qualities coming from that time period. The attire is just awful and doesn't add up. Whenever a "jump scare" part came up, I just ended up laughing instead of actually being scared. I have no idea where the director and producer were going with this. I'm still confused on the status of the characters. The cloaked figures are not scary whatsoever and look ridiculous. If you are looking for a way to waste your time, I suggest watching this show.
