“Dear Mom & Dad, all the counselors are dead.” Can you survive summer camp? Neon has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror comedy film titled Hell of a Summer, which first premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival a few years ago. Hell of a Summer is the feature directorial debut of two young actors – Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard. They also both wrote and star in the film, in addition to directing it, a riff on summer camp slasher horror films. This time it’s all the older counselors being killed off – and Jason ends up the only one left. As the counselors are getting Camp Pineway ready the night before the campers arrive, a masked killer begins killing the staff. Starring Fred Hechinger (from Thelma, Gladiator II) with Abby Quinn, Billy Bryk, Finn Wolfhard, Pardis Saremi, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Krista Nazaire, and Matthew Finlan. This does look like bonkers horror comedy fun with an eccentric cast having a good time.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard’s film Hell of a Summer, on YouTube:
Hell of a Summer follows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Fred Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one. Hell of a Summer is co-written and co-directed by the two actors / filmmakers Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard, both making their directorial debut with this project. Produced by Michael Costigan, Jay Van Hoy, Finn Wolfhard, Billy Bryk, Fred Hechinger, Jason Bateman, Maren Olson, Trevor Groth. This initially premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival a few years back. Neon will finally release Bryk & Wolfhard’s Hell of a Summer in select US theaters starting on April 18th, 2025 this spring. Who wants to watch this?
