Black Mandala returns with a fresh descent into horror, unveiling The Summoning of Baby Blue at its world premiere during Sinistro Fest. The film arrives from the same creative team behind The 100 Candles Game and The Red Book Ritual, shifting focus this time from folklore to the unsettling landscape of viral creepypasta.
Directed by Sergio Gonzalez, Brandon Piskorik, Felipe Vargas, Corey Benson Powers and Brian Sepanzyk, the story revolves around an eerie ritual whispered across the internet. Speak the words “Baby Blue, Blue Baby” before a mirror and something is said to appear. In this telling, what manifests is far more terrifying than a playground dare.
The cast brings together rising talent and familiar names, with Valeria San Martín, Justina Ceballos, Daniela Flombaum, Xochitl Gomez, Carmela Zumbado and Sara Canning joined by Nannu Spannauss, Giovanni Onetti, Agustín Olcese, Nicolás Onetti and Milagros Ribet. Screenwriter Camilo Zaffora threads the ritual through a series of unnerving short stories that gradually expand into a larger, connected mythology.
At the centre is a babysitting job that descends into chaos. A girl is dared to recite the ghostly phrase in the mirror, sparking what begins as a test of courage and ends as an awakening. Lights flicker, the chant echoes, and a spirit rises. From there the narrative branches into multiple tales, all orbiting the dark figure of Baby Blue and the fury of a restless mother.
Merging the intimacy of an urban legend with the structure of interwoven stories, The Summoning of Baby Blue delivers a chilling exploration of fear and the way stories spread, take hold, and refuse to be silenced.
Coming soon.
