Good god. Listen I'm all for the idea of DIY, labor-of-love thrillers, so I stand behind the idea of this film existing. But rarely does a labor of love feel so poorly tended to by its team. From subpar acting to cliché dialogue inside a messy script full of plot devices that go nowhere, The Summoning fails to realize that tension isn't assumed, it's crafted.

Just because you have an expensive camera doesn't mean your a director! Terrible, terrible , terrible directing. There is no horror or suspense just a dry eye monotone drama. This director has no business directing any movie of any kind! please kindly go back to the cubicle of wall street.

Did Roberts do this one as a favor? What's happening here? This one starts out horrible with actors who need more practice, or a director with a different vision. I couldn't get any further than the first minute or so.
