What they share
Theysit in Horror / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Cabin in the Woods, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Summer of 84 is
Suburban lawns at dusk, lawn mowers humming, bicycles idle. Teenage friends spy on their neighbor, a police officer with a perfect smile, as summer heats up. This throwback thriller is best watched on a lazy summer evening.
