Summer School (2006)

After an extra long horror movie marathon an amateur film critic Charles finds himself having trouble telling the difference between fantasy and reality. The next day he attends the first day of summer school and starts to slip in and out of various day dreams to the point he can no longer tell if he's awake or trapped inside another horror influenced nightmare.

This movie turned out to be a somewhat fun watch, although it was hard to believe that this film was made in 2006 the entire time watching it felt like an 80's horror comedy if this was on purpose they did one hell of a job at giving it that feel. Summer School will not blow your mind it will not change your life or the way you feel about horror cinema in any form or fashion. What this film will do is give you a fair amount of laughs and maybe even a few cringes depending on your tolerance to various degrees of ultra low budget cheesy gore. Summer School is good for a batch of popcorn, some dimmed lights, and a night of good old fashion cheesy B movie fun, but don't go into this one expecting a serious movie or you will walk away very disappointed.

The special effects are mostly horrible with only a few that stood out as decent. Story wise it's pretty interesting and does a well enough job at keeping your entertained enough to stick around for another dream sequence wondering if it will all turn out to be real this time or not. I hated the ending of this film it seemed tacked on at the last minute as if they got stuck in an endless loop of what if and realized they had no clue how to end it. It also adds to a negative image of fans of the horror genre which by the end of the film really started to bother me and on a certain level even offend me to a degree. Over all I'd give Summer School a 4 out of 10.
