We Summon the Darkness Reviews
AV Club
Katie Rife
It also hinges on a big plot twist, so all I will say for now is that it's the best Satanic Panic-inspired horror movie I have seen this year, and there have been several.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The twist/reveal happens too early in the proceedings, bursting the mystery bubble and resulting in a long, drawn-out anticlimactic second-half that's disappointingly generic.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
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.
DrumDums
Lee McCoy
We Summon the Darkness is very lacking. It borrows elements from a lot of different brackets....80s culture, metal, kidnapping/torture, etc. But if gives half-hearted attempts at each one of these elements. And the 80s authenticity is quite lacking.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
A throwback horror comedy that offers up just enough surprises and a pair of scene-stealing performances by Hasson and Daddario that will make you throw up a pair of devil horns and hail Satan.
Slant Magazine
Steven Nguyen Scaife
The film's cat-and-mouse antics play out with no sense of escalation or invention.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A rollicking B-movie satire about those who truly have blood on their hands.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
It's like a good Blumhouse movie, told in elegantly framed images, and though the situation is extreme, the violent action is staged in a manner that one might describe as the understated version of over-the-top.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
"We Summon the Darkness" is fine throughout...
Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
An appealing cast and slick period production values make this an entertaining enough retro bloodbath.
Decider
Jade Budowski
A gruesomely good riff on a beloved genre that seamlessly manages to mesh the familiar with the refreshing.
Thrillist
Scott Weinberg
A fun throwback horror tale about three girls, three guys, a rock concert, and a mysterious killer on the loose... maybe.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
I'd definitely recommend checking out We Summon the Darkness, as it is yet another bold and compelling effort from Meyers, who proves with this latest project that he's truly one of the most intriguing filmmakers working today.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
'We Summon the Darkness' draws forth gory horror.
Ghastly Grinning
Ryan Larson
Director Marc Meyers is able to establish a balance between horror and comedy that threads the needle right throughout most of the movie.
The Last Thing I See
Brent McKnight
This slice of heavy metal horror is never particular clever or deep, but it's entertaining enough.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
Directed by Marc Meyers from a script by Alan Trezza, We Summon the Darkness starts in a familiar yet subversive fashion before drilling into its deeper themes exploring the fetishization of faith.
Arts Fuse
Peg Aloi
The young actors are more than up to the task here, especially Daddario, whose 1970s-era Ivory Girl looks and pitch-perfect timing and facial expressions make her character a compelling ringleader for this fun and original slasher/romp
Critically Acclaimed Podcast
Witney Seibold
The half-baked 'Heavy Metal Parking Lot' conversation at the film's beginning do little to erase how boring it becomes when it settles into predictable bloodletting and slashing.
Vanyaland
Nick Johnston
We Summon the Darkness is the kind of heavy metal horror we've been longing for these last couple of months.
