Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk's horror-comedy film, 'Hell of a Summer,' has been acquired by NEON for U.S. distribution, with plans for a theatrical release in 2025. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, follows camp counselors at Camp Pineway as they prepare for campers while being stalked by a masked killer. Wolfhard and Bryk aimed to challenge Gen Z stereotypes through the narrative, reflecting their own frustrations with teen movie representations. The cast includes Fred Hechinger, along with several young actors, and the project was fully financed by 30West, which also produced alongside Aggregate Films and Parts & Labor. Critics have noted the film's unique blend of slasher tropes with a focus on teen experiences and identity, highlighting the promise of Wolfhard and Bryk as first-time directors. No specific release date has yet been announced, but anticipation is building as NEON expands its genre catalog.
