Directors Steve Spielberg and David Fincher weaponize the touchstones of the perfect summer night to scare the hell out of us
weaponize the quiet stillness of summer nights, pushing us into a familiar world and disarming us with nostalgia. With their cameras gliding through suburban block parties and awkward sandy dunes, playing on our collective memories of summer, Fincher and Spielberg create thematically linked dream worlds that feel as real as a Beach Boys song, before betraying the viewer with the sudden burst of violence.
The camera loses itself in the crowd, panning through the party, landing on a boy making eyes at a girl. It’s the setup for a typical teen romance, the way star-crossed lovers Tom and Chrissie connect without speaking before the sudden call of the sea sends Chrissie running and stripping toward the water. We’re locked into his perspective and pursuit as she makes a break for it, tempting him to follow. “We’re going swimming,” she yells.
