Summer of Fear (Craven, 1978): The Nickel Cinema, 6.30pm

This screening will be introduced by Craig Williams.

Nickel Cinema introduction:
Wes Craven steps out of the slasher spotlight into the realm of supernatural suspense with Summer of Fear, a tense story of adolescent unease and family paranoia. When an enigmatic cousin arrives in a small town, a young girl’s life unravels as mysterious accidents and dark influences mount. Craven’s keen eye for dread and atmosphere, combined with a slow-burning sense of menace, makes this more than a TV movie: it’s an intimate study of fear infiltrating the ordinary.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
