Hell of a Summer: Finn Wolfhard Speaks About What to Expect From His Directorial Debut

I think it will be a lot of fun,” Wolfhard said. “It’s a coming-of-age story with horror, emotion, and comedy. It’s set at a summer camp which is just this place full of gore and terror. It’s a mix of dark horror, coming-of-age story, horror-comedy.” We spoke with Wolfhard about his directing debut that will be released in 2023 or 2024. I think after Stranger Things came out, people have been willing to give it a shot. I think they feel like they can make something cool and do something different on their own. So, that’s been cool for me, just to see all the creative people on Twitter and Instagram, posting their work and just making me feel like I’m not alone in this. It’s cool. The movie is set at camp,” he continued. “It’s a camp where all these boys go to, who are going through puberty and they all have their issues. So, they go to this camp to get away from it all, and then all of a sudden there is a murderer on the loose killing everyone in sight.
