We Summon the Darkness
We Summon the Darkness is Saban Films thriller/horror-comedy directed by Marc Meyers and written by Alan Trezza. The film stars Alexandra Daddario, Keean Johnson, Maddie Hasson, Logan Miller, Amy Forsyth, Austin Swift, and Johnny Knoxville.
The film is set in the Midwest against a backdrop involving a killing spree thought to be orchestrated by a satanic cult. Three best friends Alexis (Alexandra Daddario), Val and Beverly embark on a road trip to a heavy-metal music festival where they bond with three seemingly fun-loving musicians and soon the group heads off to Alexis’ country home, a very secluded place, for an afterparty. What should be a night of fun and youthful debauchery may instead take a dark, deadly turn as bodies began to pile up, with each side thinking the other hides the killer.
Alexandra Daddario leads this satanic panic headbanger and this devilishly entertaining thriller should not be missed.
We Summon the Darkness VOD release date: April 10, 2020.
