Weekly Movie Review: Summer of '84 (2018)

**Disclaimer - for abandoning this blog for months, I'm just gonna flood it with all the reviews I've done since. Bear with me. Or don't. I don't care.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a sucker for any and all things 80s. Was stoked about this movie; great atmosphere, setting, plot, soundtrack. More mystery/thriller than horror, but still fun. Acting was slightly subpar, perhaps some of that falls on the writers. But definitely kept my attention and gave an unexpected ending. Captured the teenage summer/adventure/nostalgia really well. Subtle commentary on familial problems, divorce, life behind suburban curtains, which gave the film some added dimension.

6.5/10
