Query: Dead Summer

I'll cut right to the chase: Dead Summer is far from being a 5-star movie. Budget constraints aside, I found the acting to be downright awful. In one scene, a character is shot in the head. Watch her fight to keep a straight face. Nothing sucks the believability out of a flick quite like someone who can't commit to a role. I got the impression that the audition process went something like, "Hey, I'm making a movie! Want to be in it?" "Yeah!" "Great, you're hired!" Also, there were moments where the story seemed like it'd be promising, but it was hard to follow the plot due to poor audio.Like all other low-budget films, this one carries the same characteristics: so-so makeup, pacing problems and iffy lighting. Please consider yourself warned.
