Co-directed by Matt Devino and David Michael Yohe, The Daemon follows a family attempting to reconcile past traumas, only to face
demons infinitely more sinister than their own.
The film stars Adriana Isabel, Tyler Q Rosen, Sara Fletcher and
Oscar Wilson.
"The Daemon is a reflection of our own fears, an exploration of the profound
connection between past and present, and the acknowledgment that in the
face of cosmic forces hope may not be enough to save us," Devino and Yohe
commented. "We believe that the film will resonate with viewers on a visceral level,
drawing them into a world where the line between reality and the
supernatural is blurred, and where the strength of the human spirit is put
to the ultimate test."
The Daemon receives its world premiere at Frightfest on
August 23rd.

The official synopsis reads:
Haunted by the aftermath of his father's suicide, Tom abandons his wife and seeks refuge at the lakeside cottage where his father met his tragic end. There, his tormented memories from childhood resurface, all intricately connected to an ancient, mystifying force lurking beneath the lake's depths, driving Tom inexorably towards madness.
As Tom's communication dwindles into eerie silence, Kathy, desperate to rescue her husband, enlists the help of her brother Mark, a struggling entrepreneur, and Mark's compassionate yet inexperienced wife, Jess, a trauma and grief counselor. Unaware of the sinister malevolence seeping from the lake, Tom becomes a willing vessel for the same evil that claimed his parents and now threatens all who dare draw near.
