We recently shared the trailer for the 1988-set horror film We Summon the Darkness, which stars Texas Chainsaw 3D‘s Alexandra Daddario caught in the middle of a killing spree of murderous Satanists who have already left 18 dead throughout America’s Heartland.

In the film, three best friends, Alexis (Daddario), Val and Beverly embark on a road trip to a heavy metal music festival. In this exclusive clip, we see them bond with three seemingly fun-loving dudes and head 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…

We Summon the Darkness also stars Alita: Battle Angel‘s Keean Johnson, with Jackass madman Johnny KnoxvilleMaddie Hasson (God Bless America), and Amy Forsyth (“Channel Zero: Dream Door”).

Directed by My Friend Dahmer‘s Marc Meyers, the film premiered at last year’s Fantastic Fest where Meagan Navarro called it a “metal mayhem joyride.”

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
