About This Movie

So, 'Summoners' (2022) dives into this eerie blend of drama and horror, focusing on Jessica Whitman. She’s stepped away from her witchy past, but the pull of dark magic is strong when a childhood friend shows up needing help. The film has this palpable tension, with an atmosphere that feels thick and lurking, like there's always something just out of sight. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really feel Jessica's internal struggle with her morality and the haunting secrets from her mother. Practical effects add a nice layer of authenticity to the spells, which is refreshing. Performances are solid, giving depth to characters that could easily fall flat in a lesser film. There's a weight to the themes of legacy and choice that resonates throughout.
