    Overall, it has a great setup with many mysteries introduced that carry the entire film. It's a basic yet effective horror and thriller combined, and the finale was rewarding and generally unpredictable. The film is dark in tone, which is fitting, and the locations are also great to see. The lead character and selected side characters were certainly the film's biggest drawback and were either bland, dull or childish. Still, there's plenty of fun to be had here, and it's a wonderful achievement from the director and writer Simon Barrett.

    A by-the-books teen slasher that had some promise early on, before devolving into an inferior 'Scream'-meets-'The Craft' wannabe. The last 30 minutes are especially stupid.

    Trash the so called horror was unnoticeable, if they called that horror they should as well call any movie horror.

    It's not a super convincing story. But Seance seemed to me, reaching it's goal as a worthy contender in both Slasher and Whodunit genres.

    Oh boy, where to start. The movie keeps trying to make the "supernatural" angle seem important while everything in the film clearly points to a typical slasher film. Then theirs the characters who in no way believe in the supernatural until suddenly a scribble on a paper has them ready to call the cops, like that's actual evidence. This film is trying so very hard to be cerebral and you can almost hear the director chanting "must….subvert….expectations" while he goes from one nonsensical scene to the next in a desperate attempt to make the movie make sense. The final "reveal" comes, then the movie fails to end and shambles on trying to beat you over the head with the reveal as if asking "do you get it?" Over and over. Hard skip

    "And then they start to show the picture, and step by step, step by step, I became happy, because the picture was awful! It's a failure! It's a human reaction, no? It's not beautiful but I have that reaction." - Alejandro Jodorowsky, explaining his thoughts on David Lynch's Dune. That quote by the great Alejandro Jodorowsky is exactly how I felt about "Seance", holy hell was it awful. I'll admit I was entertained but in the "how much worse will it get" sort of intrigue, one of the major "twists" I saw coming like a giant asteroid far in the sky and it lacks PERSONALITY as a film, no soul or artistic merit to it whatsoever. No wonder Simon Barrett's frequent collaborator Adam Wingard is off doing much bigger and better things like Godzilla vs. Kong, because clearly without Wingard, Barrett's creative direction sinks worse than the Titanic on it's worst day. No memorable shots or cinematography, terrible script that loves to TELL and not SHOW, and which makes the actors/actresses forcefully give lifeless performances plus a seemingly non-existent soundtrack. What offends me most of this picture, is that it's filmed where I live, further giving my city a worse reputation than it already has.

    Meh, it passed the time. This movie didn't bring anything new to the horror genre. It wasn't bad. I wouldn't watch again. It's something you can put on while you do something else.

    Wow, that was bad. Extremely convoluted and boring.

    This movie is stupid. Boring. And the lead gives such a monotone performance. If you’re looking for movies to watch ahead of Halloween — skip this one!!
