Summer Scars sheds serious light on the choices we are forced to make under extreme circumstances where our impulsive reactions can sometimes take us beyond what we thought capable. With an unsettlingly Jekyll and Hyde like performance from Kevin Howarth, writer/director Julian Richards superbly captures the essence of life-changing experiences. The resonance of a single event is beautifully explored here, this is a definite must for all British Film fans. Ramchandra Solanki, Raindance
Six 14-year-olds cut school to joyride in the woods, where they meet Peter, an adult drifter who invites himself to hang out with the youths. When Peter starts playing ruthless mind games on the kids, the day soon devolves into a hostage crisis. But through it all Peter seems determined to teach the kids a lesson about growing up.
