The Sound of Summer
Watch TrailerIn the relentless heat of the gruelling summer, temperatures soar to blistering levels as cicadas emerge to sing their ear-shattering song. Months of continued exposure is enough to make anyone start to feel a little off. Anyone, that is, except that oddity the locals call ‘the Cicada Man’. Who is that strange man and why is he always walking around with boxes full of live cicadas? More important, what does he do with them? As the heat starts to get to our heroine, and her sanity depletes, real life and delusion begin to mix. Her darkest nightmares seep into our world and she fears the Cicada Man has planted his swarm of insects inside her. She must get them out – at all costs. Thus begins her downward spiral into extreme paranoia and self-mutilation. She just needs to make it through the summer.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs an atmosphere of unbearable psychological pressure, relying on the monotonous, intrusive sound of cicadas and the visual metaphor of all-pervading heat. It explores the disintegration of a mind where an external threat becomes indistinguishable from an internal demon.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of sensory violation and the unsettling question of where reality ends. — MovieFinder Editorial
