Lionsgate Dates ‘Seance: The Summoning’ For Home Video
From an executive producer of Hellraiser, and in the vein of The Rite and The Last Exorcism, comes a new satanic horror film, Séance: The Summoning, arriving on DVD, Digital Download, On Demand and Pay-Per-View October 2, 2012 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
When a college know-it-all challenges an amateur medium to hold a séance in a morgue, satanic forces take control of the night. Written and directed by Alex Wright (TV’s “Wicked Wicked Games”), the film stars Bobby Campo (The Final Destination), Nazneen Contractor (TV’s “24”) and Chris Olivero (TV’s “Kyle XY”). Loaded with thrilling suspense, the Séance: The Summoning DVD includes “The Making of Séance: The Summoning” featurette and will be available for the suggested retail price of $26.98, just in time for Halloween.
“Four friends decide to break into the city morgue and record themselves holding a séance after Joey (Campo) accuses the other of being a fake psychic medium. When the group summons a demon by mistake, Joey breaks the circle of protection and causes himself to be vulnerable. Once possessed they will have to find a way to drive the demon out of their friend before it destroys them all.“
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
