MONSTER SUMMER – Frederik Wiedmann
Original Review by Jonathan Broxton
Monster Summer is a lighthearted yet spooky Halloween movie for kids, written by Cornelius Uliano and Bryan Schulz, and directed by former child actor David Henrie from Wizards of Waverly Place. The story is set in the 1990s on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, and stars Mason Thames as Noah, a local teen with dreams of becoming an investigative journalist. Noah’s chance at a big story comes when he notices that local children are mysteriously vanishing, only for them to reappear the next day in a catatonic state.
