Few things are weirder than watching a movie set around a guy that is on house arrest for cyber stalking and realizing the actor kind of resembles your ex. Well, not your ex, my ex. Which wouldn't be weird for you, unless you knew him too. It makes it weirder because I wonder if he could cyber stalk someone... oh god! He could be doing it right now! WooooOOOOOOOOoooooo! That should be read as a spooky ghost noise, not some sort of cheer.
Dark Summer follows Daniel on his post cyber crime/ankle bracelet probation. After getting his friends to bury a router in the neighbors yard (which, fuck you, that wouldn't work) he ends up getting a Skype call from the girl he was stalking and she kills herself on camera. From here Daniel begins to have these episodes which could be chalked up to craziness, but you actually find out it's because the girl cast a love spell on him which caused the start of his obsession. This entire film is a set-up for the spirit of the girl trying to come back to be with Daniel.
That's probably the easiest and shortest description of an entire film I've ever done, but that's it. There's nothing too interesting. The ghost related scenes aren't super great and the spellwork was dumb. The only thing that made me have any feelings during this movie was when the best-friend/secret crush of Daniel gave him a jar full of 1000 paper stars and the ghost breaks it. Fuck that ghost girl. Fuck Daniel. Fuck this movie.
I give Dark Summer 1 jar of stars out of 5:
