A 17-year-old is on house arrest for the summer while his mother is away on business. A horrifying incident occurs leaving an ominous presence in the house.
Teenager Daniel Austin is confined to house arrest for having cyber-stalked Mona Wilson. He is ordered to stay away from the internet and social media for the duration of his arrest but is able to get around this with the help of his friends. He logs on only to receive a video call from Mona and watch as she commits suicide on camera. In the aftermath, staying at home on his own, Daniel starts to believe that Mona’s spirit is haunting him.
“Dark Summer retains eerie elements and strong performances, once again showcasing Solet’s gift with the genre and his ability to turn limited funds and locations into a compelling tale of psychological erosion and spectral doom.” – Blu-ray.com
“There is an appreciable sense of claustrophobia presented due to Daniel’s confinement, and Solet’s frequent use of close-ups only furthers the sense of feeling like you’re trapped in a small box of a home.” – DVDcompare.net
“The performances of the cast are pitched just right with Keir Gilchrist’s Daniel coming across as a twitchy virginal innocent and an unsettling obsessive. Not all protagonists in horror films can convince from the opposing perspectives of being both victim and perpetrator, but Gilchrist pulls it off very effectively.” – Ginger Nuts of Horror
