We Summon the Darkness
“It's going to be one HELL of a party.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 59, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A heavy-metal concert leads to an afterparty where the hospitality becomes suspicious. The film plays with satanic-panic assumptions before settling into a nasty little housebound thriller. Strong early misdirection supplies the fun, even when the later action becomes more conventional.
