Summer of 84 Reviews
SUMMER OF 84 is a delightfully nostalgic, incredibly tense, and in the end, honestly brutal horror film. The story brings to mind Rear Window and Fright Night, but this old fashioned spook-fest no doubt stands on it's own. Just think Stranger Things but replace supernatural with brutal true-crime and you get one of the best films of 2018.

Summer of 84 (2018)
Review:. 15-year-old paperboy Davey Armstrong centers "Summer of 84."

1984 Movie Review
John Hurt gives the beaten-down Winston a somber, even witless, face while still conveying his deep, suppressed longing for freedom and connection. Burton, using his smarmiest vocal intonations, makes even O'Brien's friendly gestures seem ominous and worrisome. In that way the movie faithfully embodies the book's tone, one of warning and dread.

Where the Boys Are '84 movie review (1984)
This movie has nothing to do with the song and the 1960 movie whose name it appropriates. It isn't a sequel and isn't a remake and isn't, in fact, much of anything. The press release contains this priceless line: " Allan Carr is producing 'Where the Boys Are '84' from a screenplay based on an original story idea by himself, Jeff ...
