Hechinger, Wolfhard, and Bryk all produce the feature, along with Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan, and Jay Van Hoy.

Hell Of A Summer Joins The NEON Horror Roster

Here is the official synopsis: Hell of a Summer centers on 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn't know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one. Wolfhard told EW in 2023 that he learned quite a bit directing this film: "This is our first feature. We're really young, we're gonna mess up a lot, and we're gonna make mistakes. Let's just ride the wave and be as communicative with everyone as possible and make everyone feel a part of the team," Wolfhard says. "It was really informative. I learned more on that set about myself and about other people and about running a set and working with different personalities. I learned more in those three weeks than I have my whole life."

Not only is the pair releasing this film, but they are also working on a remake of 90's horror comedy Idle Hands. It looks like they have found their calling, bringing laughs and gore to a new generation of horror fans. This was another smart pick-up by NEON, who has spent the last two years jumping head-first into the horror genre, and it has paid off so far. Longlegs was a big hit; The Monkey looks like another, and now this. I have a feeling NEON is about to have another great year.
