chris k This was absolutely a waste of time. Lame to the ultimate degree. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Gary E Horrible. Bigfoot deserves better than this. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review seanconore A surprisingly tender story of a couple falling into a cult in the Pacific Northwest, where we find ourselves at the end of the film feeling lovingly about the film's Bigfoot and her tiny Bigfoot child. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Sterling C Unveiling an audacious narrative, "Summoning the Spirit" masterfully melds urban escapism with bone-chilling folklore. In a world overwhelmed by remakes and rehashed plots, this film emerges as a breath of fresh, albeit eerie, air. The film plunges us into the journey of Carla and Dean, two city-dwellers seeking reprieve, a setup familiar to many. Yet, within moments, it's clear that their respite is far from ordinary. Stumbling upon a cult with ties to the menacing legend of a flesh-eating Bigfoot takes the narrative to an unprecedented realm. Not only does the film play upon our inherent fear of the unknown, but it deepens the intrigue by intertwining a cult's dangerous delusions. The stellar performances by the cast render the unbelievable, palpably real. Among these standout performances is the character "River," who becomes a beacon of relatability amidst the chaos. River's internal struggle, torn between loyalty to the only community she's ever known and the unsettling truths she begins to unearth, mirrors the challenges many face in questioning deep-rooted beliefs and traditions. Her journey of self-awareness and resilience adds layers of depth to the film, making it resonate even more with audiences. The despair and determination of Carla and Dean, as they grapple with their unintended discovery, anchors the audience to their harrowing journey. The cult members, in their eerie conviction, are not merely horror caricatures but are fully realized characters, eliciting both dread and empathy. Directorially, "Summoning the Spirit" doesn't rely on cheap jump scares. Instead, it cultivates a steadily mounting tension, juxtaposing the serene vastness of the remote land with the claustrophobic grip of the cult's prophecy. The cinematography captures the stark contrast of nature's beauty with the horror of human beliefs gone awry. But it's the unraveling of the cult's prophecy that truly sets this film apart. Without giving anything away, the climax is mind-bending, blending existential dread with grounded realism, urging the audience to question the limits of human belief and the legends we think we know. In conclusion, "Summoning the Spirit" is an electrifying ride, a masterclass in modern horror that doesn't shy away from probing deeper questions about faith, folklore, and the lengths to which we'll go for salvation. River's poignant arc adds a layer of emotional depth that makes this more than just a horror film. Whether you're a staunch horror aficionado or a casual viewer, this film demands your attention and deserves your acclaim.
