Monster Summer Ratings & Reviews
Decider
Johnny Loftus
There is some enjoyably mild freakiness here.
Subculture Entertainment
David Griffiths
A throw back to the teenage paranormal thrillers of the 1980s and 1990s. It works but is it what audiences of today want? The one thing that is clear though is that Mason Thames is going to be star.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
A blockheaded kid-centered scary story, one where 12-year-olds race around on their bikes either toward or away from something menacing and creepy.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Corny to a fault, Monster Summer is a lightweight horror movie about a group of teens and an ex-cop trying to solve a supernatural mystery involving a witch. Amateurish acting and a weak screenplay lower the quality of the film.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Monster Summer" captures a wholesome sense of wonder, and it depicts that time in life between childhood and adulthood when the world is both too big and too small at the same time.
Next Best Picture
Cody Dericks
It seems satisfied to merely tell the audience, "This is a throwback," and hopefully that will suffice, rather than actually putting any sort of nostalgic energy into any part of the film itself.
Collider
Aidan Kelley
Where the films its directly pulling from persevere today as all-time classics, Monster Summer will likely be forgotten by general audiences within the next year.
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
It won't exactly hold you under its spell, but it might charm just enough for the sparse 90 minutes of attention it requests.
FandomWire
M.N. Miller
While the new adventure horror film Monster Summer is an homage to Goosebumps and Stranger Things, it targets a younger demographic and offers good, frightening family fun.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
It's a fun movie that lands on the right side of "innocuous," being pleasantly formulaic rather than simply bland.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Trying to mix kid-appropriate frights with nostalgia for adults, this lightweight horror trifle is overall formulaic and forgettable.
Auteurist Class (Substack)
Peter Sobczynski
For younger viewers who are becoming interested in the horror genre but aren't ready yet for chainsaw murders and exploding heads, Monster Summer will serve as a passable excursion but anyone older than the kid characters will find it forgettable at best

Rachel Wagner
I was impressed with how scary it got for the target demographic
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
There's a throwback quality to this pedestrian youth-oriented lite-horror flick...[a] mildly spooky, determinedly old-fashioned boys' adventure story.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
A monster bummer.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[T]he mostly jovial tone clashes with the movie's darker suggestions.
The Lamplight Review
Kyle Wilson
The film packs a nostalgic sheen but is missing just a little more of the adventure and the fantastic.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
The sincerity the cast and crew bring to the script makes "Summer" a worthwhile piece of nostalgia. Not only does it cast a longing look back to simpler times but reminds us of the pleasure found in modest well-made movies such as this.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A harmless, pleasantly diverting albeit forgettable sci-fi mystery made for younger audiences without being too scary or too intense for kids. How many live action Mel Gibson films are there for kids? Well, now there's finally one.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Familiarity doesn't hurt "Monster Summer," which remains mostly appealing due to its cast and effort to add a little spookiness for younger viewers not ready to see people turned inside out on the big screen just yet.
