Movie Review: ‘We Summon The Darkness’ Is Badass And Bloody

Heavy metal and murder fill the 80s set horror We Summon the Darkness, starring Alexandra Daddario (Alexis), Maddie Hasson (Val) and Amy Forsyth (Bev) as a trio of young women on a mission. They head out to a concert, where the girls meet three guys, Mark (Keean Johnson), Kovacs (Logan Miller), and Ivan (Austin Swift). After the show is over, the girls take the guys back to Alexis’ father’s (Johnny Knoxville) house to continue the party, but these guys have no idea what the girls have in store for them. From the getgo you can tell something is off. I mean why would three hot girls be interested in three losers?

It was just a matter of time before a studio capitalized on the horror of the Coronavirus. That studio is Full Moon Features who is putting a satirical spin on the pandemic with Corona Zombie.

The wealthy shrugging it off! A global toilet paper famine! And a virus that causes its victims to get up and kill! The people they kill…get up and kill! Lock your doors and horde your toilet paper! The CORONA ZOMBIES are coming! As the world buckles to a global pandemic, as businesses temporarily board their doors and as citizens lock themselves away in social isolation in hopes of “flattening the curve”, Full Moon answers the crisis with the sort of gonzo humor and far-out fantasy
