Summer's Blood Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
TdSmth5 Some unadapted teen girl travels to some small town in search for her dad after she fought with her mom who told him that she had aborted the girl. Soon she meets what seems to be a normal young man. But the morning after she finds herself chained in the basement on a bed of dirt. Another half dead girl is sitting nearby and a bunch of skulls. He talks to her kindly, explaining that she's key to his garden and that loves his garden. Meanwhile the father of the other girl is just out of jail and looking for his daughter. As more people disappear things get complicated. But the highlight of the movie purports to be the return of the father of the young man, who isn't a whole lot better than his son.Note that this is not a horror movie really. It's all about the psychological torture of the girls. The guy spends what seems like hours chatting with the girl trying to make her feel at home. Yet, it's never horrific let alone entertaining to watch a villain talk non-stop with his victims. There is a bit of violence, a tiny bit of blood. What's mostly of a more out-there nature is the theme of this movie, the family relationships, it's all very adult stuff. The language is very filthy throughout the movie. But there's little violence, no gore, no nudity, nothing. It's all very dull.
Scarecrow-88 Moderately disturbing thriller about a young hitchhiker(Ashley Green) seeking to find the father she has never known, running into mother and son psychos, who keep her chained in their basement. Anyone in the TWILIGHT series starring in a horror flick will be exploited by low budget filmmakers and distributors. This time around it's Ashley Green, in a more adult role, as a troubled girl who wishes to find her father, not knowing he's a serial killer named Gant(Stephen McHattie). Summer(Greene),while in the act of shoplifting food from a convenient store, is lent a ride by handsome Tom Hoxey(Peter Mooney). Tom sent the policeman, who caught Summer, in the opposite direction. Tom takes Summer to his home and the two have sex with mama Gaia(Barbara Niven)listening intently on the outside of his door. Tom decides Summer should "hang out" in his basement garden where he keeps other girls he kidnaps with Gaia unwilling to interfere in freeing those captured. Better still is the fact that Gant is Tom's father..yep, Tom and Summer are step brother and sister. So the family awaits Gant's return, as the dread builds. While McHattie is not in the film very long, his menacing presence when he does appear is quite palpable. You can just sense how Tom fears his daddy's arrival, growing fond of Summer, worried that she will be in danger(letting her go, though, is out of the question)when he comes home. Mooney and Niven are appropriately warped as the twisted mother and son who appear to the locals in their community as normal when they're anything but. Greene is pretty and vacuous as the tortured Summer, who, I believe, develops Stockholmes while kept prisoner in the Hoxeys' home, forced to do manual chores if granted freedom from her bonds..it does seem that, after a couple attempts to flee when loosened from her chains are disrupted, Summer becomes attached to Tom.
Vivianne Morena Just watched "Summer's Blood" and I can say it's worth-watching movie. I'm pleasantly surprised to see Ashley Greene in such a serious role. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes this style. It's a story that keeps you "awake" to the end, you can't figure out what the heroes are going to do. At short I really, really LOVE this movie and I'll record it on a disk with "Thirteen","Deep Winter" and "Lords of Dogtown". "Summer's blood" is unique movie as i saw it. It has good plot, very good actors and keeps the public in tension. Honestly I downloaded it because of Ashley Greene and I'm definitely glad that I did watched it. It's nice. Love it.
MovieGuy01 I have just watched Summers Moon tonight, and i thought that it was a good film. It is about A teenage girl called Summer (Ashley Green, Twilight) who is on the road looking to try and find her father. Her only clue where to find where he may be is a letter from a rural community called Massey. Once Summer arrives in town she is rescued from a hit and run with the police, by a man called Tom(Peter Mooney), both of them seem to get on well together so they head back to Tom's house which her shares with his mum Gaia,(Barbera Niven). But on arrival at the house she is knocked unconscious by the demented family, Summer is bound with chains inside a box that is filled with dirt. She is also surrounded by by plants and human skulls and another girl who is almost dying. What she does not know she is the latest flower in Tom's ''Human Garden''. I found it to be quite disturbing at times because of the sexual violence in it. 5/10
