Summer is for block parties, hanging out with your friends, a booming and being annoyed with your sibling, attending parties, and… accidentally summoning demons???

Well at least that is what Devon, her twin, and their friend group get into. Devon has planned to make this summer the “Best Summer Ever” because her genius twin sister is graduating early and this very well may be the last summer they all spend together before everything changes and she hopes she can encourage her sister, Drew, to stay. Obviously, while on the journey to the best summer ever, they hit a pretty big hurdle when a demon targets the friend group, going through a kill order that puts Devon as the friend group’s resident blonde up front.

Honestly, I loved this so much. If you are a horror fan and love the traditional horror tropes you’ll likely enjoy this. Though I guessed the twist or “reveal”, it didn’t make it any less enjoyable and I wasn’t any less anxious to see how everything would play out.
