Dead Summer was written by Robert Brewer who wrote Season of Rot. It's a great script with some decent acting for a micro-budget flick. The movie revolves around a tight knit group of friends who are part of a town that's been quarantined from the rest of the country due to the zombie epidemic. Even if the story line sounds familiar, don't let it stop you from checking this flick out, for the similarities end there. One gets the feeling that this would be how people would react and respond if the situation actually happened. You truly get involved with the characters. I highly recommend giving this flick a chance.
