No, this wasn't about summer. This was a bizarre conflation of an end-of-the-world disaster film (think Armageddon) and a serial killer from hell thriller. Trying to be both it didn't work as either but not because of a lack of skill. Camera work was very sharp, the characters were well-defined and overall a distinct filmmaking skill was evident.
But the two stories resisted melding which left us whipsawing between the disparate scenarios, uncertain what to feel or think.
Too bad. Should've been two movies.
