History Film / SummerSchool2006

Charles, a high-school student who moonlights online as a amateur horror movie reviewer arrives for his first day of summer school and quickly falls asleep, being woken later by his friends in the midst of class. However, as he keeps falling asleep in class his dreams are soon haunted by the very horror movie cliches he reviews as a hobby and the lines between reality and fiction start to blur. The movie is divided into several segments.

* SurpriseCreepy: Just about all the sequences start like this, but ''Cult'' has a slow build and actually seems like a, admittedly well shot, slow paced student film until [[spoiler: Charles hangs a corner, gets hit with a pan and wakes up to Lindsay and Dennis ritualistically bleeding his wrists before Mrs. Wickham arrives to sacrifice him.]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: Steve in ''Vampire''.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: During ''Hillbilly''. Charles escapes the Hillbillies and makes his way to a road trying to find help, but he's shirtless and charging at the road with a ''shotgun''. Understandably the driver of the car he finds isn't too keen to let him in, especially since in his panic he keeps shouting at him to open the door, making it seem like he's trying to steal the car.
** As detailed in the [[Trivia/{{SummerSchool2006}} Trivia page]], this happened in RealLife between the filming crew and the police during the filming of ''Hillbilly''.

* ZombieInfectee: Charles gets bitten during ''Monsters'' and spends the sequence slowly mutating into one of them.

* Acrofatic: Steve in ''Vampire''.

* VictoryFakeOut: After Hillbilly, Charles wakes up seemingly safe [[spoiler: only for one of the Hillbilies to appear in the window and shoot him dead, sending him into the ''real'' next dream.]]

** Similarly, [[spoiler: the viewer is lead to believe that Charles really ''did'' snap in Slasher and that his insistence that it'll be fine when he wakes up as he bleeds out is proof that he went insane because of his repeated nightmares, even hanging on the FadeToBlack just long enough to make it seem like he really is dead. Then he wakes up.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Charles proves multiple times that he's a rather rude and unpleasant person, being dismissive of his classmates, rude to his teacher and the officer stationed at the school and antisocial in general.

* AllJustADream: Each time Charles dies or otherwise, he wakes up to find out that the segment he was in previously was a dream. [[spoiler: The ending reveals the ''whole movie'' was just a dream.]]
* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler: Everything up to that point was all just a series of dreams layered into each other, including the first time Charles was roused from a dream. He leaves the school and is suddenly struck and killed by a car, with his spilled papers revealing that he'd come in for summer school one day early.]]

''[[HillbillyHorrors Hillbilly]]'': The OddOneOut of the anthology, as it has nothing to do with the school or Charles' classmates. Instead focusing on Charles wandering into the home of a group of mountain Hillbillies, one of which has [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil depraved plans for him.]]
