Stars: Jenna Kohn, Thom Mathews, Carl Bailey, Bishop Stevens, Myles Valentine, Seth Boyer, Jace Jamison, Jessica Kadish, Charlee Amacher, Rico Whitehead, Farbota Lynn, Gabriel SolisKimmy Schofield | Written and Directed by John Isberg
Writer/Director John Isberg opens Final Summer in traditional fashion, as summer camp attendees are told about a murderous legend over a campfire. As a counsellor reappropriates the story of Warren Copper for an instructional tale about forest fires, the joking dies down when a real murderer strikes.
Five years later, a tragedy has occurred at Camp Silverlake. Traumatised by the events, Lexi (Jenna Kohn) is left blaming herself for what happened. This incident has left the camp’s owner with no choice but to sell her family’s legacy, asking the counsellors to get the place ready for the oncoming developers. Those plans are discarded when a masked killer appears, intent on committing a killing spree.

‘Perfectly captures the feel of a pre-scream slasher movie’ – Grimoire of Horror
‘A bloody love letter to a bygone era written with the tip of an axe… nothing short
of impressive’ – Film Threat
Pack your bags for Final Summer – an ’80s-inspired summer camp slasher that sees a group of camp counsellors fighting for their lives against a masked killer. This blood-squirting, brutally brilliant horror is the impressive directorial debut from John Isberg– who also writes and co-produces the film – and is out now on UK Digital, courtesy of Miracle Media Limited.
We head back to 1991, after a long summer of fun and games at Camp Silverlake, where organisers are preparing to shut down the camp for the final season before it is sold to developers.
But there’s something – or someone – waiting in the darkness to exact bloody revenge on the unsuspecting campers.
Who is the masked menace and what do they want?...

"Locals claimed to see this strange figure with a skull over it, carrying an axe, guarding the woods in the middle of the night..." Miracle Media Limited in the UK has revealed the first official trailer for the indie horror film titled Final Summer, a 1980s throwback summer camp slasher from filmmaker John Isberg. The film initially premiered at the 2023 Panic Fest back in the spring, though it's still waiting for a final US release date. In the aftermath of a tragedy at a summer camp, a group of camp counselors find themselves fighting for their lives against a masked killer. This is inspired by all the great 80s slasher movies, but it's actually set in the early 90s, which is I guess the spin on the story. The horror film stars Thom Mathews, Bishop Stevens, Carl Bailey, Seth Boyer, Nora Yates, Jace Jamison, and Jessica Kadish. A simple trailer...

As principal photography wraps on two of the five segments of the highly anticipated horror anthology, F’d, several images have been released ahead of a forthcoming trailer. The first set of images come to us from director Ash Hamilton’s wraparound and end segment tentatively titled “Declassified”.
Hamilton made headlines in the 2021-2022 festival seasons when his debut feature Holes in the Sky: The Sean Miller Story broke records worldwide making it the most highly awarded found footage film ever made. When asked if his segment would follow the found footage tradition Hamilton stated, “I think there’s still ground to break within the subgenre. What you’re going to see here might push the boundaries of found footage and Pov, but it will do it in a way that I think will ultimately satisfy and surprise the audience.” Hamilton continued, “With Holes (in the Sky) we wanted to...
