Dark Summer – Release News

Get ready, fellow movie lovers! In September, buckle up for an intense journey filled with unwavering loyalty, brutal confrontations, and righteous revenge in the gritty urban drama, Dark Summer – straight to UK digital platforms courtesy of Miracle Media.

As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but express my excitement for Conrad Craven’s (Black Santa, Bissonnet) gritty crime thriller, “Dark Summer.” This film plunges us into the merciless realm of teen gangs and shattered relationships, all under the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic sun-soaked summer that unexpectedly turns lethal. Reminiscent of The Wire, it delves deep into the tumultuous streets of America’s inner cities, where survival is a constant struggle, and one must be prepared to go to extreme lengths or betray those closest to stay alive…

In scorching Houston streets, gifted teen Jarvis (Dion Jay), poised for MIT, finds himself trapped in a lethal drug transaction to save his ailing mother. Alongside suburban buddy Tre (Antwan Smith, known as Killer Zaddy, Break of Dawn) – who yearns for gangster credibility – the duo is hurled into a dangerous cycle of urban conflict, crooked police, and relentless cartels.

Amidst changing allegiances and whizzing gunfire, Jarvis needs to escape the turmoil and decide who he’s prepared to transform into before the scorching summer sun overtakes them both.

An engaging, character-focused suspenseful drama pulsating with intensity, Dark Summer breathes fresh life into its genre through standout acting and an authentic, gritty urban feel.

Experience a pulse-pounding, intense odyssey through the gritty underbelly of the city streets during this unforgettable, heart-wrenching summer.
