There’s an old saying that you can’t go home again and for the most part it’s true. People are older or not around anymore, personalities have slightly changed and the furniture is different. Then there’s all the personal experiences that have changed you while away. Indeed, home is just a memory, but when you’re called back there, it’s for a reason and you better be ready for it. The filmmaking duo of writer/director Terence Krey and writer/actor Christine Nyland explore this premise with their compelling occult film Summoners.
College student Jess (Nyland) has just returned to her family home where her father (Larry Fessenden) lives alone after her mother died. She’s not sure why she’s there, but she knows there’s something she has to do. A chance encounter with her old friend Alana (McLean Peterson) rekindles their teenage bond,...

Screened at 2022’s Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, Summoners is one of the simplest and yet most impressively crafted of this year’s tumult of witch-themed films. It’s a simple story about a young woman visiting her home town and getting caught up in her high school best friend’s problems, but it’s beautifully acted and its gentle pacing allows for the construction of a richly detailed world.
That young woman is Jess, played by co-writer Christine Nyland, whom viewers may remember from her brief but expressive performance in 2019’s The Garden Left Behind. She arrives one day out of the blue, surprising her father (the ever-reliable Larry Fessenden) and is delighted to bump into Alana (McLean Peterson) for the first time in around a decade. When they were young they used to engage in a bit of light witchcraft together, and there’s a hint that they may have got results,...

Terence Krey's "Summoners" is an indie slice of "Practical Magic" pie, telling a heartfelt story about timeless friendship through spellcasting. It's a lighter horror tale that isn't beholden to stereotypical scares, showing the more compassionate side of genre filmmaking. Krey sticks closer to titles like "Hellbender" when executing what wicked curses this way come, without feeling like witchcraft fans are left in the cold. "Summoners" focuses on storytelling and character arcs above all, which accentuates what impractical magic might take place as characters learn there's no cure for life's most unpredictable swings.
Co-writer Christine Nyland stars as Jess Whitman, a Massachusetts resident who returns home after her mother's death. Jess seems apprehensive when father Doug (Larry Fessenden) suggests visiting his wife's grave, always avoiding the conversation. Instead, Jess reconnects with former bestie Alana Wheeler (McLean Peterson) as they relive their local glory days — which eventually brings up their "casting" abilities.
