About Hell of a Summer

At Camp Pineway the summer mood is alive with campfires and pranks, but the weekend plans change the moment 24-year-old Jason Hochberg returns as a counselor. He wants to reconnect with the teen staff and prove he still fits in. Then the cheerful routine shatters when camp owners John and Kathy are found murdered, and a masked killer seems to be prowling the grounds. The young counselors Chris and Bobby, along with Claire and Shannon, try to keep a sense of humor while the danger escalates. As fear spreads, trust fractures and the weekend becomes a tense cat and mouse game where old friendships are tested and new alliances form. Humor surfaces in banter and pranks amid danger.

Created by Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, Hell of a Summer released in 2025 with a modest 3 million budget. It stars Wolfhard as Chris, Bryk as Bobby, with Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn, and Krista Nazaire.

Box office worldwide earned approximately 3,182,680 against a 3,000,000 budget, placing it in the modest earnings range for a 2025 horror comedy.

Critical chatter notes a balance of scare and bravado, blending camp nostalgia with a modern prankster humor. The film probes belonging and the friction between aging staff and restless teens while the mystery keeps the pace brisk.
