Critics Consensus

We Summon the Darkness makes the most of its rather pedestrian plot with palpable affection for genre formula, an appealing cast, and a sharp sense of humor.

A rollicking B-movie satire about those who truly have blood on their hands.

What really sets We Summon the Darkness apart ... is its joyous - if nasty - celebration of the female rock fan at a crucial point in her development.

The proceedings are not entirely unamusing in their lurid way, but they're also not nearly as clever as the filmmakers believed or hoped they would be.

...it’s the kind of horror that plays within the rules in the way that should satisfy mainstream audiences. Horror fans should lap it up, but casual viewers should get the adrenalin shot of Satanic Panic that makes for the right kind of viewing mayhem...

...a palpable misfire that squanders its strong first act.

We Summon the Darkness is a wickedly funny and delicious piece of genre cinema. It's a horror film that doesn't necessarily aim to scare or terrorise us but to take us on a gnarly rollercoaster ride along with its doomed characters.

This was fun and blended horror and thrills with humor well. Good twists, great cast.

And you couldn't just go out to the perfectly functional sheriff's car with the keys probably in it (or on his body)? It's like that GEICO Hallowen commercial with the teenagers running into the the chainsaw shack and one of the girls imploring, "Why don't we get into the running car?" Eye-rolling inducing kind of movie. But two strong stars for the closing credits song Heart and Soul by T'Pau. You know I was singing along - A little bit, little bit!

Takes some interesting twists and turns and isn't clumsy or tripping over itself in doing so. Unfortunately, the ending is seen a mile away and ordinary.
