Three mild spoilers
For a TV movie, "Summer of Fear" is pretty darn good! It's got a bunch of twists and turns. I felt so happy that Simon did not turn out to be a killer. Most of the time, the "bad guy" is really just messed-up psychologically. But to make the movie worthwhile, the moviemakers turn the poor guy into a killer. Not in this case!
Gregory Harrison normally plays a bad guy or a killer in most of the made-for-TV movies he's been in. It's weird to see him portray a protagonist character for once. It was strange, but definitely good. > )
At the end, I couldn't help thinking about what it must have felt like to be Winnie Marshall, Lucas' and Cat's daughter. She went on a sailing date with Simon, and wore only her bathing suit once she was out of her father's sight. She obviously finds him sexy and attractive. Even girls that age don't flirt with just anybody... well, maybe some do. (I was always too picky and never really boy-crazy.) Then, it turns out that Simon's her half-brother. Eww! I don't think that any amount of showers could wash that feeling off her... poor girl! And the fact that he knew she was his sister makes it that much worse.
If you'd like to discuss this or any other movie, please feel free to e-mail me. God bless you!
