Alexandra Daddario leads Marc Meyers’ We Summon the Darkness

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One of our favorite up and coming scream queens around here is Alexandra Daddario. From her roles in such recent horror fare as TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D and the modern masterpiece that was TRUE DETECTIVE season one, Daddario is one to keep tabs on. 

And speaking of which, Highland Film Group announced today that Daddario and Keean Johnson (ALITA: BATTLE ANGLE) will star in Marc Meyers’ (MY FRIEND DAHMER) upcoming horror film WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS. Penned by Alan Trezza (BURYING THE EX) the film begins with

The killing spree of murderous Satanists has already led to 18 deaths throughout America’s Heartland. Three best friends embark on a road trip to a heavy metal gig. Naive, they bond with three seemingly fun-loving guys and the group heads off to Alexis’ secluded country home for an afterparty. What should be a night of fun and youthful debauchery may instead take a dark, deadly turn. With killers on the loose, can anyone be trusted?

Maddie Hasson (IMPULSE), Logan Miller (LOVE), Amy Forsyth (HELL FEST), and Austin Swift (LIVE BY NIGHT) will round out this all-star cast. 

Robert Jones, James Harris and Mark Lane (47 METERS DOWN, THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT) of The Fyzz will produce and finance alongside Magna Entertainment, with Kyle Tekiela (MUDBOUND) and Jarod Einsohn of Common Enemy, Christian Armogida of Nightshade Entertainment and Thomas E van Dell of Iconic Media One producing. 

Andrew Kotliar, Elizabeth Zavoyskiy, Joshua Sason, Rebecca Schaper, Lee Broda, Mike Donovan, Eytan Rockaway, and Robert Girard are Exec-Producing with Jody Girgenti serving as co-producer. Highland Film Group will introduce the film to worldwide buyers in Toronto.

Principal photography is currently underway in Winnipeg. We'll let you know when we hear more!
