Paramount Casts a ‘Spell’ on Blu-ray and DVD in January
After premiering at-home on VOD platforms this Halloween season, Paramount Players will release Mark Tonderai‘s (“Gotham,” “Castle Rock,” “Locke & Key”) Spell on Blu-ray and DVD January 12, 2021.
In Spell, “While flying to his father’s funeral in rural Appalachia, an intense storm causes Marquis (Omari Hardwick) to lose control of the plane carrying him and his family. He awakens wounded, alone and trapped in Ms. Eloise’s (Loretta Devine) attic, who claims she can nurse him back to health with the Boogity, a Hoodoo figure she has made from his blood and skin. Unable to call for help, Marquis desperately tries to outwit and break free from her dark magic and save his family from a sinister ritual before the rise of the blood moon.”
Kurt Wimmer (Ultraviolet, Salt) wrote the script.
Extras include:
- Deleted Scenes
- The Nightmare Spell
- Rootwork: Conjuring Spell
- The Art of Hoodoo
Meagan reviewed the film, writing that “Spell fails to conjure up a compelling hoodoo tale.”
