John Henry Butler
| “ | I'm the wrath of God. | „ |
| ~ Butler |
Pastor John Henry Butler is the main antagonist of the 2019 horror/thriller film We Summon the Darkness.
He was portrayed by Johnny Knoxville, who also played Scrad & Charlie in Men In Black 2.
Biography
Butler is the father of Alexis and founder of the Daughters of the Dawn, a Christian congregation for wayward girls that is actually a front for a conspiracy to kill people and make the murders look like the work of Satanist cults so as to deceive others into embracing Christianity. He speaks out against heavy metal music, and also uses donations given to his church to finance the construction of houses, most likely for use as more murder scenes.
Butler is first seen in the film on a gas station TV set, denouncing heavy metal music as being satanic in nature and urging people to donate to his church. He’s later revealed to have brainwashed Alexis and her friend Val into serving his agenda. Bev, Alexis and Val’s friend as well as a fellow member of their congregation, learns of Butler’s plans and turns against the other two girls while they’re tormenting a captive Mark and Kovacs.
Butler comes to the house where Alexis and Val are holding Mark and Kovacs, and meets a wounded Kovacs who tells him what’s happening, only for Butler to shoot him and calmly declare that “I’m the wrath of God” before entering the house. He finds his ex-wife Susan dead in the family room and simply states “Good riddance.” He heads into the kitchen for a beer and a cookie while the lights go out due to Val cutting the power.
Butler heads upstairs to Alexis’s bedroom where he finds Mark attacking his daughter and shoots him in his side. He then berates Alexis for her recklessness and starts to strangle her until he’s knocked in the head by Bev and falls unconscious.
After Alexis is killed trying to prevent Bev and Mark from escaping, Butler twists the truth about what happened on a news broadcast, saying his daughter was confused and led to commit her heinous acts by a Satanist cult.

Now, how are we gonna explain this? Alexis: It was Beverly. Butler: Beverly? Alexis: Yeah. The runaway. Butler: Where is she now? She, uh, she run away again? Alexis: Val's taking care of her. Butler: You told me she was ready. You told me she could do this. Alexis: I know, but she wasn't. I'm sorry, but I can fix this! Butler: It's too late for that. They already suspect us, and now this? |
