Elijah and his rock star girlfriend Lyn are forced into making the ultimate choice when they and another couple are invited to an exclusive self-help retreat run by the enigmatic Dr. Frost. As Elijah struggles with the emotionally distant Lyn and is tempted by a sensual fellow attendee, he discovers that he’s been summoned to settle a supernatural debt that dates back generations.
A deviously twisted game of cat-and-mouse, The Summoned opens up a world where the familiar turns unfamiliar, betrayal runs deep, and nothing and no one is as it seems.
“AT THE CORE OF THE SUMMONED IS A FASCINATING TALE ABOUT INFLUENCER CULTURE AND SELF-HELP RETREATS THAT PREY ON INSECURITY.”
– DREAD CENTRAL
“THE FILM OFFERS ALL AT ONCE A THERAPEUTIC JOURNEY, A SATANIC STORY AND A DARK ALLEGORY OF THE AMERICAN DREAM.”
