I Call Upon Thee

About This Movie

I Call Upon Thee (2022) explores the eerie bond between two sisters trapped in a dismal family life, taking a dive into the dark waters of ritualistic summoning. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing is measured, building tension as the sisters' naive desires unravel. What stands out is the raw performances that really convey their desperation and haunting transformation once they open that door they shouldn't have. It’s a low-budget affair, but the practical effects add a gritty realism that enhances the chilling moments, which feels reminiscent of early horror classics. There's a rawness here, a sense of lost innocence that lingers long after the credits roll.

I Call Upon Thee has a limited release and is somewhat hard to find, making it a curiosity for genre fans and collectors. The film’s DIY aesthetic and practical effects provide a unique charm that might appeal to those interested in grassroots horror cinema. There’s growing interest in various formats, particularly among collectors who appreciate its thematic depth and the exploration of familial bonds in horror narratives.
