Monster Summer becomes an interesting visual substitute for Stranger Things viewers while they wait for the much awaited Season 5. Under David Henrie's direction, the film tracks a group of kids as they try to solve the riddle around a terrifying monster upsetting their perfect summer town.
Monster Summer makes great use of thematic concepts and story points that appeal powerfully to viewers of Stranger Things. Reminiscent of the engrossing environment and nostalgic vibe of Stranger Things, the movie centers on a group of children looking at paranormal events in a tiny village. Embracing classic elements from Movies like The Goonies, Stand By Me, and The Lost Boys, both pieces appeal to the 1980s pop culture zeitgeist. The Monster Summer video highlights scenes of youngsters riding bikes, confronting terrible perils, and attempting to solve the mystery developing around them, therefore highlighting even more these parallels. Tiffany's 1987 hit song "I Think We're Alone Now" highlights even more the retro look of the movie.

Should the movie be both critical and financial successful, it might develop into a long-running franchise providing a nice diversion for those yearning the wonder and mystery of Stranger Things.

For those looking for similar thrills and nostalgia, Monster Summer presents a convincing substitute and a possible successor to Stranger Things, though.
