Stars: Damien Lipp, Stephanie Mauro, Tristen Barr, Sophie Wright, Tilly Legge, Lliam Murphy, Janet Watson Kruse, Peter Flaherty | Written and Directed by Dale Trott
Beckoning the Butcher follows the story of Chris (Lipp), an online vlogger who finds ghost summoning rituals and films himself doing them. Becoming more and more desperate for ideas, he turns to his brother for help and is given a ritual for beckoning the butcher. Along with his girlfriend Tara (Mauro), his best friend Brent (Barr) and two friends Nicole (Wright) and Lorraine (Legge), they take a trip up to an old house Brent knew was free in the outback to perform the ritual, which required them each to sign their name on a piece of paper and add their blood, which Tara refuses to add. The ritual seems to be a dud and they almost give up when Brent hears some strange sounds…
This film genuinely freaked me out.
