Gwen, Matthew, Katrina, and Spencer are best friends for years, until a terrible tragedy tears them apart, and leaves all of them in a state of arrested development. Years later, they are reunited for a destination wedding to stay together in a rented house. What they do not 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 before them as time blurs and Frazer’s cult and the present day collide. Over the course of one night, everyone must confront their darkness or be destroyed by it. [2]
The film was shot in 13 days, [3] primarily in Santa Clarita, California. Meaney chose to cast many people who are prominent in the geek world, after developing those connections while producing documentaries about the world of comic books. [4]
The film was originally called Trip House, but the title was subsequently changed to House of Demons. [5]
The film was acquired for distribution by Smith Global Media and Sony Home Entertainment. It was released February 6, 2018 on DVD, VOD and digital. [6]
In advance of the release, the film received positive reviews from Aint It Cool News, [7] We The Nerdy, [8] Unseen Films [9] and other outlets.
