Nekrotronic (formerly Nekromancer) is a 2018 Australian comedy science-fiction horror film.[2][3][4] It was co-written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner, and stars Ben O'Toole and Monica Bellucci. It tells the story of demons that steal people's souls through smartphone apps, and the demon-hunters out to kill them. It was intended to be a mashup of Ghostbusters, The Matrix, and The Exorcist. The story was inspired by the ICE of William Gibson's Neuromancer.[5] The film premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.[6] In September 2019, it had its Australian debut at the SciFi Film Festival in Sydney.[7]
