‘Every serial killer lives next door to someone.’
Summer of ’84 is a 2017 American horror film directed by François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell (Turbo Kid) from a screenplay by Matt Leslie and Stephen J. Smith.
Growing up on a quiet cul-de-sac in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Davey’s desperate to believe there’s more to life than what he sees from his bedroom window.
For Davey, every tabloid cover is a peek into the world as it really is, as it really must be past the borders of the humdrum neighborhood where he and his best friends Eats, Farraday and Woody have grown up.
Sure they spend their summers playing nighttime flashlight tag (“Manhunt”), riding their BMX bikes all over town, and spying on the hot, sometimes topless chick next door, Nikki… but Davey thirsts for more. As their investigation heats up, Davey and his best buds soon discover Mr. Mackey is onto them and their suspicions quickly become all too real…
The movie is in pre-production with casting to be announced. Principal filming is due to begin on the Gunpowder/Sky Brightlight Pictures production in July 2017.
