Summer of '84 | Official Teaser HD

[@comichaul]

To anyone that's thinking of posting "This is just Stranger Things with older kids" or some variation of that in the comments, a few items to note. First, Stranger Things is meant to be an homage to 1980s-era Spielberg films like E.T. And The Goonies, The Duffer Brothers have talked about that fact countless times, and it's also why it has so many references to films like that in it. Additionally, it's not by any means the first film or TV show to do that - see Super 8 or The Goldbergs as a few recent examples. Secondly, the directors of this film made another movie called Turbo Kid a few years back, which was also a throwback to 1980s movies, featuring a synthesizer score and retro production design. This new movie is their follow up. It makes you sound ignorant to call this a copy of Stranger Things, especially when Stranger Things is intentionally a copy of so many other productions before it. Now what you could say is something like "I enjoyed Stranger Things, so I'm betting I'll like this too", just don't insult a director or those involved by immediately calling something a "copy" of something else. At least do some research first.

[@knowyourhistory]

This movie would not exist without Stranger Things.

[@comichaul]

That's not the discussion though. Movies like Dreamcatcher, Super 8, Midnight Special, Under the Skin (which Stranger Things borrows heavily from on its visuals), Earth to Echo and more were all in production or made before Stranger Things. And again, the directors of this already made a film called Turbo Kid which intentionally looks and sounds like a 1980s film, and developed a cult following. For all we know they've been trying to make Summer of '84 for years now. Sure, the popularity of Stranger Things probably helps a film like this get more attention, but my point was to call it a "copy" or anything of the sort is ignorant. My point still stands.

[@michaelbaitler1375]

Mark Walters Thank you its about time somebody said it, stranger things in reality is ripping off nearly every popular sci fi film from the 80's. Needless to say I'm still a fan but just because a film is set in the 80's with kids doesn't mean it always has to be compared I'm sure the filmmakers put alot of hard work and time to make this film and not to hear it being a ripoff of it or st

[@pinkiepie2047]

I honestly think the only reason people didn’t bash in on IT was because finn wolfhard was in it. directors can get inspiration from other movies yes, but this is a totally different plot line than ST or IT. I

[@christophergongora7885]

Exactly S.T. just put the 80s back on the mainstream train but i really believe it was the movie Drive that really started pushing it back into the spotlight from its soundtrack even though its only 80s inspired music the 80s thing has been around for awhile just wasnt as popular a few years back.

[@xz7910]

this… is what teaser trailers should be.

[@xz7910]

80s theme is so overhyped these days i wish they couldve made it like 90s or early 2000s but anyway im still Excited to see this film!!!

[@Jimbojub]

The 80’s style is really popular right now. I’m an 80’s kid so I dig it. I just hope they won’t kill it like they do with everything else.

[@sabreen8363]

YESSSS I’ve been waiting for another movie with Judah Lewis in it

[@perjakacinema]

We need Summer of '84 and Super Dark Times in a double-feature!

[@rodrigopereira4983]

Fright Night meets Rear Window, looks good.

[@aaronkordish7948]

I loved RKSS's last film, Turbo Kid, so I am definitely going to watch this. I am also wondering if this is going to be as gory as Turbo Kid.

[@andrewe820]

[@colinriley23]

Saw it at Sundance. It is not nearly as gory, but still plenty of blood. It is not outlandish like Turbo Kid.

[@jeffyoung3756]

I like the 80's style. It's awesome. :¬)

[@Nick-1992-SRB]

That’s what got my attention to purchase this epic movie Summer of 84 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@jamesb.7151]

Looks good, remings me of "A Nightmare on Elm Street mixed in IT, and the Goonies".

[@jamesb.7151]

That last scene in the blue background at 0:56 is definitely reminiscent of the death of "Tina" in ANOES '84.

[@profballerz]

It also reminds me of stand by me with all the kids in the tree house

[@dumbinic2118]

James B. YES!!!

[@dandrelewis8041]

Almost has a hint of IT and the prowler.

[@martamarkovic5937]

I just watched this yesterday and it's SOOO FUCKING GOOD UGHHH I CANT RECOMMEND IT MOREEEEEE

[@dukeraoul100]

and to all: it couldnt be a stranger things copy - cause stranger things is even a copy from a great and iconic bundle of 80s kids adventures.

[@boydcrowder5034]

This looks awesome. It kinda reminds me of a movie called Clubhouse Detectives. A young boy and his friends try to find out if his neighbor murdered a woman. Can't wait to see this.

[@blackdynamite8691]

Boyd Crowder thank u! I was just saying the same thing! Loved that movie when I was a kid

[@ShaunJr2009]

I liked that movie

[@boydcrowder5034]

@@blackdynamite8691 it was a lot of fun. My parents would let me rent the VHS of it every weekend back in the day. I hope to give it a rewatch someday.

[@boydcrowder5034]

@@ShaunJr2009 it was one of my favorite childhood movies.

[@dylanrajcula3527]

I have a feeling Tommy is based off of Mike, Curtis is Lucas, Woody is Dustin and Davey is Will I guess and Nikki is either Max or Eleven ya know stranger things vibe

I'm not calling it a copy but the formula is strangely popular these days, don't you think ? *rolling my eyes all the way back*

[@RandomVideoCircus]

Nice!! Can't wait!!!

*The Turbo Kid guys?!*

Pretty much the exact plot of Weekend At Bernie's II.

4 kids and 1 dissapear. 80's. Mistery. Did you remember a Netflix's show?

[@bqkmg2037]

If this movie does real good in theaters..maybe a sequel will follow...." Summer of 85 ".

[@a.rpradipta7662]

Anyone who said stranger things bring back 80' s nostalgia are just a blind fans. 80' s nostalgia movie style was exist way before stranger things aired on netflix.

[@ShadowSonic2]

What's the music in this trailer? Original stuff for this movie?

[@ShaunJr2009]

Stand By Me + The Black Phone + Disturbia

Stranger Things . . . but I'd still watch. (80s baby!)

[@Sonnyrocck]

You guys obviously knows the Polybius Arcade machine was behind them right

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

"Matthew is a cop with a sick reputation". Hmmm-at first I was cringing at '90's slang being used in 1984. The first widely heard utterance of "sick" in skate/surf culture came in a 1987 skate video, "The Search for Animal Chin". However, that word wasn't in popular use as something cool or awesome until the mid to late 1990's during the highly televised X-Games. Now...Judah Lewis's character is described as quasi-punk, pseudo-delinquent. That being known, I guess I'll have to give the writers a pass since a punk-relevant article published in Rolling Stone Magazine in October of 1977 was titled, "A Report on the Sex Pistols-Rock is sick and living in London". The use of "sick" as a positive descriptive could have easily made its way into punk culture by 1984. My cringe stands corrected. And for all the people pissin' and moaning' about this movie ripping off "Stranger Things"...the Bowery Boys, East Side Kids, Hardy Boys, Scooby Doo, Goonies (to name a few), had no monopoly on young people's hijinks spilling over onto the malevolent schemes of serious criminals or killers. There actually is "NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN", to drag out a millennia-old adage from King Solomon. If you think something is unique and "original" think again. It has been done before in some form of media.

[@VerneditheSnail]

I can't wait for August 2018! This movie looks cool and worth the watch! :D

What’s the release date?

Thanks to Stranger Things the 80's are back kids- and I LOVE IT.

Mahesh Walatara nope. 80' s movie style exist way before stranger things. Too bad they don't get better recognition. Do some research first.

Thanks to Synthwave,Retrowave,Outrun Music for bringing the 80's back. You are behind the curve buddy.

Is the blu-ray release region free?

Polybius arcade machine in the back..

thats the reason i watched the stupid trailer, i recognized that partially visible polybius logo in the screenshot, ha

[@TomTubesYou]

People didn't use "sick" that way in the 80s

[@Mattyim89]

It should be: "He's a cop with an ILL reputation."

[@bkyn72]

Was definitely used in a skating video put out in 86 called The Search for Animal Chin. Had Peralta in it. So it was def used.

[@martinlimonjr]

in '86.

[@Splattermelt]

It was there, The Cramps were using it.

[@TheGamingIndian]

I do not know about that but i am kind of getting sick of the forced 80s themes they are going to overdo it and ruin it for another decade or so.

this movie was awesome, i LOVED it!!! mackey: YOU TOOK MY LIFE!!! seriously? i hate such hypocritical killers, whether they're real or fiction. what about you stealing THEIR lives!! so it's ok for YOU to take other people's lives but not for anyone to take yours? obviously this is just a movie, a necessary part of the plot at that, and killers aren't rational. but it's still so frustrating!!

[@realfians4k]

This movie should be called "Cashing In on Stranger Things Popularity".

[@craigmilton9892]

and Stranger things should have been called "It".

[@Moms1958]

No, because it isn’t anything like it, and it was in production before stranger things came out on Netflix!

[@ROTTINGDEAD]

Just so your aware,Stranger Things came after the directors of this film directed a film called "Turbo Kid"......so the directors are well ahead of the Stranger Things curve. If you havn't seen "Turbo Kid" its on Netflix and is an amazing throwback to 80s/retro goodness

[@colinriley23]

This movie was written before Stranger Things (S1 & S2) and It (2017) were released. Anyways, what better time to come out with this movie then during an 80's nostalgia craze? It's called market research and it is how movies get financed and make money at the theater. Don't be surprised by intelligent business practices.

[@tetragem1887]

An 80s horror thing that has nothing to do with supernatural events. Stranger things ripoff. It ripoff. No it's it's own movie and looks very good

Stranger things and it with a little bit of goonies

Dude 80s nostalgia

[@mr.manbat6897]

Stranger thing The movie

[@smythe555]

I'd give it the benefit of the doubt of not just cashing in on Stranger Things if it weren't for the EXACT same sounding music, and that same faux millennial attempt at the 80's aesthetic. Yeah, it's just a preview, but these days the preview pretty much says it all.

[@aglayamajorem9546]

The sceenplay was written before Stranger Things was even greenlit. The fact was that it took awhile for producers to get this made because they didn't know if it would work, but after the success of Stranger Things, they decided to.

[@hwcperfect]

Stranger Things.

[@markzucc5265]

If you guys need actors hit me up!!!

[@ryanmccoy6377]

so... let me get this straight. there's a group of best friends, four boys and one girl (similar to mike, Dustin, Lucas, will and eleven in stranger things). there's a serial killer loose, and a person goes missing (similar to "it" when pennywise is terrorizing the kids and taking them). the kid who's missing is named dusty (similar to dustin in stranger things). and it takes place in the 80s (just like stranger things and it)? if this isn't a rip off of stranger things/it, then I don't know what it is.

[@joeworpole2295]

ryan mccoy it almost.. like it’s a 80s nostalgia film... a bit like stranger things and the new it.. no that can’t be it

[@dumbinic2118]

ryan mccoy that was most of the 80s films lmao, Stranger Things didn't invent it, it just referenced it and was very nostalgic

[@jojosusu9662]

Im sick of this 80s nostalgia. Jesus they weren't that great.

[@Frank-kw3tq]

Looks cool like 80s slasher but not a remake ...but it kinda reminds me of Silver Bullet with Fred savage and Gary bucy just a little bit but more realistic cuz werewolves don’t exist but killer cops do hahahaha

[@punk7928]

Just throwing this out there... Silver Bullet was Corey Haim, not Fred Savage.

[@King-xb8db]

stranger things remix

[@huldu]

This reminds me of another movie from the 80's. I can't remember the name of it. But yeah, it has that "stranger things" vibe over it. It's just trying to ride the hype wave. The movie itself doesn't seem too good after reading a few reviews.

[@rlam905]

It reminds me of The Burbs with Tom Hanks.

[@aglayamajorem9546]

A lot of reviews are not good indicator for what the movie really is. Take Last Jedi for example. Crap movie to me yet critics are praising it? Haha right. It's worth the risk to see this one though. It's a cult gem in my eyes.

[@paulmccafffery5231]

84 clichés??
