Black Summer

About This Movie

So, 'Black Summer'—it's a gem that slipped under a lot of radars. The whole vibe is tense and claustrophobic, which really nails that dread of isolation. You’ve got these two friends who just want to explore, but the pandemic hits, turning their trip into this grim struggle for survival on an island. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, and the performances feel raw and genuine, which adds to that unsettling atmosphere. It’s not just another zombie flick; it digs into friendship and panic in this really visceral way that stays with you. Kind of leaves you wishing for more depth but in a good way, you know? A solid watch for horror fans looking for something a bit different.

As for the collector aspect, 'Black Summer' hasn't seen a ton of physical releases, making it somewhat scarce, especially on Blu-ray. There’s definitely a growing interest among collectors who appreciate indie horror and its unique take on survival themes. It’s worth keeping an eye out for any limited editions or festival releases, as they could become quite sought after down the road.
