What Is Summoning the Spirit About?

“SUMMONING THE SPIRIT follows Carla (Krystal Millie Valdes) and Dean (Ernesto Reyes, “American Gods”) as they decide to escape the hustle of the big city, purchasing a home in the remote forest,” the official synopsis reads. “They have big plans for their new quiet life, only to find something much more sinister. The couple quickly realize that they are on the land of a cult, and the leader claims a telepathic connection to a legendary flesh-eating beast deep in the woods surrounding them. Carla and Dean are forced to uncover the terrifying truth of the cult’s prophecy.”

Summoning the Spirit first premiered in March 2023 at the Miami Film Festival. “[Summoning the Spirit] is a great addition to the sub-sub-genre of Bigfoot horror,” Gregg Hale, a producer on 1999’s The Blair Witch Project and executive producer on the 2016 Blair Witch sequel, said of the movie. “The film turns convention on its head with a fresh take on Sasquatch while still delivering on the fun and the scares.”
