Live IG Q&A with Alexandra Daddario for “WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS” this Friday

If you need some heavy-metal horror in your life, WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS is seeing release this Friday, and its star will be part of a live on-line Q&A session that night.

Saban Films is releasing DARKNESS, which was directed by Marc Meyers (MY FRIEND DAHMER) from a script by Alan Trezza, on VOD/digital platforms. Alexandra Daddario, who plays the lead role and was also one of the producers, will take part in the Instagram Q&A @alexandradaddario at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The cast also includes Keean Johnson, Maddie Hasson, Logan Miller, Amy Forsyth, Austin Swift and Johnny Knoxville; the synopsis: “On the way to a heavy metal concert, Alexis [Daddario] and two girlfriends hear a news report of a local murder believed to be tied to a series of satanic killings. After the show, the girls invite three guys to join them at the estate owned by Alexis’ father, a fire-and-brimstone preacher [Knoxville]. What starts as a party suddenly turns dark and deadly in this devilishly entertaining thriller.”
