(Dec. 15, 2017) – Terror finds a new home in the supernatural horror-thriller HOUSE OF DEMONS, which is being distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on digital and DVD February 6. Amber Benson (TV’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) leads a hot cast of up-and-coming actors in this chilling tale of four old friends who reunite at a remote rental house once used by a Manson Family-like cult and which now has the power to manifest its inhabitants’ deepest fears and darkest demons.

Synopsis: Gwen, Matthew, Katrina, and Spencer were best friends for years, until a terrible tragedy tore them apart. Ten years later, they reunite in a rented house for a destination wedding. What they don't know is that in the late ‘60s, the house was home to a Manson Family-like cult run by Frazer, a charismatic former scientist pushing the boundaries of human consciousness. His experiments echo through time and manifest everyone's darkest fears and memories, blurring time as Frazer's cult and the present day collide over the course of one long night, where everyone must confront their darkness or be destroyed by it.
From Smith Global Media, HOUSE OF DEMONS was produced by Patrick Meaney, Jordan Byrne (Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts), Jordan Rennert (Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously), and Brian Townes. Executive producers are Tom Blair, Michael Parness, and William Robert Webb III.
