The Summer House

About This Movie

So, The Summer House, right? It's this low-key horror flick that plays out like a twisted family reunion. Greg’s return to the old vacation spot with his boyfriend is layered with this dense, uncomfortable atmosphere. The pacing lingers just enough to build tension, but it doesn’t drag. You can really feel the weight of unresolved familial issues, especially with the haunting presence of Greg's father, which is a poignant nod to the struggles many face with acceptance. The practical effects are subtle, not over-the-top, but they serve the story well. The performances feel raw, which adds to the emotional depth. It’s not your typical jump-scare fest, and that’s what makes it stick with you after the credits roll.
