This one is giving The Fly vibes, but with more gore and scabs.
In the relentless heat of the grueling 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.
The Sound Of Summer was directed by a British-born filmmaker (Guy) who resides in Japan and is fluent in Japanese. Guy is known for THE ROPE MAIDEN (2013), DIFFICULTY BREATHING (2017) and UNKO-HI (2018).
The Sound Of Summer is coming June 13th on Blu-ray.
