It stars Frances Langford, Johnny Downs, Marjorie Woodworth, Noah Beery Jr., Esther Dale, Harry Langdon, and The Tanner Sisters. Quinceton College Zeta fraternity stages a revue with members in drag. The resulting publicity catches the attention of newspaperman Hap Holden (Harry Langdon) and Virginia Collinge (Frances Langford). They convince Virginia's aunt Matilda Collinge (Esther Dale), president of failing Mar Brynn (a woman's horticultural college), to refute the school's staid image by sponsoring a contest awarding a dozen free scholarships aimed at "unusual girls", winners of pageants for fruits, vegetables and flowers, as women most likely to succeed and to be showcased in a musical presentation during the Fall Festival. To publicize the contest, President Collinge pokes fun at Zeta members as being least likely to succeed and bans them from their campus. For revenge the Zeta chapter president Bob Sheppard (Johnny Downs) is coerced to infiltrate Mar Brynn by entering the contest as "Bobbie DeWolfe, Queen of the Flowers". After falling in love with Virginia, Bob comes clean and assists in staging the show, but includes in the finale a Busby Berkeley-style spelling out of "Zeta" as revenge for the ban.

Summer of 84
Horror Movie Mini-Reviews: Movie 28 of ??
IMDB Summary:
After suspecting that their police officer neighbor is a serial killer, a group of teenage friends spend their summer spying on him and gathering evidence, but as they get closer to discovering the truth, things get dangerous.
Nonsensical Thoughts:
Summer of 84 (2018) is essentially what would happen if Stephen King had written Disturbia. When will the 80’s nostalgia go off to war? Or at least the kid side of it. I want to see what the college kids were doing. My parents were in college in the 80’s, I’d like more films that show that experience through the lens of nostalgia. Will I have to make that film? But, I digress.
This was an entertaining watch. The kids were great and the script was solid. If you are looking for a slasher film, this is not it, but it is a good mystery horror.

SUMMER OF ‘84 de RKSS : Un tueur si proche
« Even serial killers live next door to somebody. »
La prémisse et les premières images suggéraient un film dans la lignée de la populaire série Stranger Things : quatre garçons tentant d’élucider un mystère en banlieue dans les années 1980, avec des influences de Steven Spielberg et Stephen King, sur fond de musique à la John Carpenter. Or, tôt dans le film, on réalise que la ressemblance est seulement superficielle, l’œuvre devant pouvant être mieux décrite comme un croisement entre Superbad et Rear Window!
Superbad, car les protagonistes — Davey Armstrong (Graham Verchere), Tommy « Eats » Eaton (Judah Lewis), Dale « Woody » Woodworth (Caleb Emery) et Curtis Farrady (Cory Grüter-Andrew) — sont un peu plus âgés que ceux de Stranger Things, et ils sont particulièrement vulgaires et en manque! Leur amitié est immédiatement crédible, leurs échanges sont souvent hilarants, et le scénario de Matt Leslie & Stephen J. Smith fait également preuve d’une grande justesse émotionnelle, pratiquement tous les jeunes personnages (incluant la séduisante fille d’à côté incarnée par Tiera Skovbye) vivant des choses difficiles avec leurs parents.
Bref, on les comprend de vouloir se changer les idées, même si c’est en se lançant dans une aventure aussi morbide que de démasquer le « Cape May Slayer », un tueur en série qui terrorise la région depuis des mois en enlevant et tuant des garçons de 12 à 16 ans… comme eux.
Davey est convaincu que le Slayer est son voisin policier, M. Mackey (Rich Sommer). Ses camarades et lui passeront donc tout l’été à le surveiller avec des jumelles (ai-je mentionné Rear Window?), à le prendre en filature, et même éventuellement à fouiller sa cour arrière et son sous-sol… Je ne vous en dis pas plus, mais cela donne lieu à plusieurs scènes pleines de suspense, où les réalisateurs François Simard, Anouk Whissell & Yoann-Karl Whissell de RKSS prennent un malin plaisir à nous faire angoisser et sursauter!
Comme dans son premier long métrage, Turbo Kid, le trio de cinéastes peut compter sur un allié de taille : Jean-Philippe Bernier, qui signe l’atmosphérique direction photo, en plus d’avoir composé une autre jouissive musique aux synthés anxiogènes en tant que membre du duo Le Matos.
Summer of ‘84 est un excellent divertissement, autant en tant que film d’ados que thriller. Et la troublante conclusion nous hantera longtemps...
Summer of ‘84 prendra l’affiche ce vendredi 3 août au Cinéma du Parc.
