When you find your friend standing in the middle of the road at night, that's cause for concern, but when you approach him and he stares back at you with wide open eyes and a bleeding nose, then you've stepped over into seriously spooky territory. Such is the case for a group of filmmaking friends in the new horror movie 1st Summoning, and we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.

Directed by Raymond Wood from a screenplay by Chris Piner, 1st Summoning will be released in select theaters and on demand (including iTunes and Amazon Prime Video) on February 22nd via Gravitas Ventures, and we have the exclusive clip, trailer, and key art below.

Synopsis: "As four student filmmakers unearth a bizarre history of occult practice tied to an abandoned warehouse, it becomes clear the horror they set out to document may have been lurking among them all along."
