Finn Wolfhard, Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn & Billy Bryk: Hell of a Summer Interview

Taking the Toronto International Film Festival back to the heyday of horror in the ‘80s with Hell of a Summer, directing duo Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk stopped by Collider’s studio at the Cinema Center by MARBL to talk with Editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub about their directorial debut. Joined by stars Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus) and Abby Quinn (Radium Girls), the quartet discusses the behind-the-scenes of their genre mash-up from influences to favorite scenes.
Hell of a Summer has all the trappings of the iconic sleepaway camp horrors of a bygone era, a period both directors are familiar with. Stranger Things’ Wolfhard and his Ghostbusters: Afterlife co-star Bryk play two young counselors looking to score the weekend before Camp Pineway welcomes their happy campers. Chock-full of nostalgia and the typical genre archetypes, Camp Pineway becomes the playground of a sadistic killer, and the number one suspect is Jason (Hechinger), the elder counselor who maybe should have moved on years ago.
During their interview, Bryk and Wolfhard reveal the level of guts and gore audiences can expect on a level of Scream to Green Room, the influential films they rewatched with the cast, finding the perfect balance of horror and humor, and the challenges of first-time filmmakers. Quinn and Hechinger let us in on what it’s like under the direction of this “two-headed beast,” living in close, Victorian quarters throughout filming, and which scene was their favorite.
