JUST BEFORE DAWN MEETS THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE WITH A SLICE OF FRIDAY THE 13TH ON THE MUST-SEE BRITISH HORROR OF THE YEAR!

The Summer of the Massacre is the terrifying tale of the demented Hammerhead, a man-eating maniac that resides in the Blackwood Forest.

A group of four carefree college students head home for the holiday season. The group consisted of pregnant student- Katie (Jeannette James - BBC Ones City Law), hung over joker – Josh (Ben O’Brian – ITV 3’s Grease Monkeys), Posh bird - Judy (Emma Horsley) and Curt (Jake Wlykie), who hit the road with a map printed from the internet. Hey, who needs to buy an A to Z map when cyberspace is so easy to handle.

Early into their journey the group notice that their running low on petrol so they decide, after a heated debate, to take a short cut through Blackwood. They stumble upon the petrol station and discover it has long been closed and receive a few warnings from an old tramp who leaps out upon them. He pleads them to turn back as the area is cursed and that deranged murderer known as Hammerhead will slaughter them one by one. Fearing for their lives the four friends make a quick getaway but run into even more problems when their van breaks down. Stranded in the middle of Blackwood Forest the group decide to trek across the dense woodland in the vein hope they’ll be saved. With no signal available for mobile phones and not a home in sight the group find them battling the elements as well as each other tempers become frayed.

All four friends decide that Jake and Judy should go and look for help while pregnant Katie and Josh should stay at the van, just in case help comes by.

After a few beers and a couple of scares Josh heads off into the forest to relieve his bladder unaware of an ominous lurking presence. Hammerhead approaches and takes out an unaware Josh binding him in cling film to keep him fresh while he heads back to the slaughter-house to collect some sacks to carry the body parts.

Katie starts to worry and heads to look for Josh only to be attacked, nailed to a tree and then strung up by Hammerhead...

Judy and Jake eventually return to the van after having no luck with finding help. To their horror they discover Hammerhead trashing the van. Both teenagers make a run for it with Hammerhead in hot pursuit behind them. Without any problems he slaughters both teenagers leaving only a pregnant female alive to face the viper- alone.

Katie escapes deep into the Blackwood Forest and the crazed mutant Hammerhead is soon on her tail with his insatiable bloodlust and trademark hammer. The only way Katie will survive this ordeal is to turn the tables and revert to her own primitive instincts and this means a lethal duel that ensures only one will survive…
