One of the best films i have seen
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're in the mood for a bad horror movie to openly mock with your closest, wittiest friends, this is an excellent choice. It's got it all: terrible acting, terrible dialogue, confounding rules (the ghost is supposedly only visible in the dark, but that's not always the case), and, of course, rape ghosts. I'm sorry, spoiler alert: this movie is about a rape ghost. And lest you think that rape is the only sensitive topic handled with all the care of some people making an awful horror movie, the film also touches on suicide. Each character is given one (1) identifying characteristic. For instance, this one girl shows her breasts, another is sometimes skeptical, and one loner student takes a myriad of pills to stave off the demons of depression that have hatched forth from his overclocked genius. The movie demonstrates his genius most memorably through his hacking prowess. He is actually able to hack into a newspaper's database or archives or whatever digital whathaveyouse and print out an article! As for his suicidal depression, he mentions it a couple times and generally looks glum. All that, plus A.J. Lamas (son of THE Lorenzo Lamas) as everydouche Diego, hilariously accented officers (security and police), and much, much more awful, awful movie making. Fingers crossed for a sequel!
Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake)
After a group of college kids attempt to rid their dormitory of the ghost of a mischievous little girl, they accidentally release the spirit of the man who killed her. The spirit then turns his murderous gaze upon the students, and begins to take them out one by one.The writer of both Vacancy and its upcoming straight-to-video prequel started in the business, here, with Séance. Going in, for some reason, I had hope for this to be at least average & likable. I don't know why. The story's nothing special, the setting is overdone, I didn't know who Mark Smith was until I checked the IMDb credits after the film. . . there was just something that made me expect at least SOME good. And I wasn't really disappointed. It wasn't really all that bad. . . just exactly what I was expecting, which is almost worse because I would've liked to see something different. Unfortunately, this film just followed the lead of pretty much every other low-budget haunted 'house' flick that's come out over the past few years: flickering little girls, faint whistling, flashy editing, etc. The film did have a few really creepy moments, but none of them new or special. The acting wasn't too bad for the most part, nothing worthy of awards or anything, but it was pretty standard mid-level-horror quality. The dialogue was pretty well written. . . there were parts where I genuinely thought, "That IS how (fill in a friend who fills in stereotype here) would act in this situation." But, as the story progressed, the film became more and more ridiculous, taking new plot turns that tried to add a bit of complexity when it really should've just stuck with a straight up ghost-story-turned-slasher. If you're looking for an easy film, nothing special and ultimately forgettable, give this one a try.Final verdict: 5/10.

I really enjoyed this movie. I have been disappointed by horror films too many times either due to plot or just simply poor quality film making as well as non convincing B-movie actors. Seance is very eerie. No, it was not released as a big budget- blockbuster type of film, but it has continuity and was well worth my time. It was dark and suspenseful and the actors were convincing!!!I do not understand the comment by "lumocolor(from the UK)" ..Your disappointment is baffling...but I guess everyone has a right to their own opinion. ...I often call myself "Horrorpro" due to my lifetime experience of viewing the horror film genre'. If you love scary movies (I have viewed well over a hundred films in the past decade)...trust me... This movie is for horror film lovers. If you enjoy supernatural horror you will definitely love Seance..

I picked this up because Adrian Paul (The Highlander) was in it, and I'm glad I did. I thought the movie was scary and fun. I love horror films, but they often disappoint me because they go for gore instead of suspense and tension. But this one has a spookiness that builds right from the opening ( I hate creepy little girls) and as soon as they have that first séance it really gets scary, with Adrian and that little girl wandering around the halls. But if you're looking for loads of blood this isn't the movie for you. The characters were all fun and seemed like real students instead of 30 year-olds trying to act like teens. The acting was much, much better than most lower-budget films, especially the Diego guy. The special effects weren't the best, but it's the kind of movie where that doesn't matter so much. Just turn down the lights and enjoy the scares. Overall I give it a 7/10
