![]() ![]() As long as you don't mind that it's similar to other movies like it, kind of a mash-up of several different horror sub-genres. Who's this movie designed for I hear you ask? Probably hip little cool kid's who still read pop magazine's and have posters on their walls of Ariana Grande and Harry Styles - who knows? To the contrary, I'll continue watching, and rewarding, these modern-day time wasters with my standard 1/10 opinions in hope that one of them improves. Which means that I'm being excluded and it's not my time anymore. You know - in England? I'm slowly but surely coming to realize that today's movies are not being designed for my age bracket this day & age. I don't care who the 2 killers are unmasked! Why the need to wear the goofy masks in the first place if you're gonna eventually show your face anyway? I don't care for their reasoning either! It makes no sense when Melanie Blatt claims that she grew up in the states with the 1950's hide-and-seek world champ (who was never found,) yet she was born and raised overseas in Brighton. (How predictable was this scene?) Turns out, the movie's just an elaborate hoax with some sort of 'Scream' reveal at the end explaining the justification for all the murders which is paper thin. Separatist, Kobe Tai, isolates herself in a studio, full of mannequins and no teacher, and is easy pickings. They just sit around picking up the pieces, contacting spirits in a dark room, and mop up messy crime scenes. Sorry.* Is that porn actress Amber Rayne? This movie's amazing - for a girl's reformatory boarding school no one has attended any lesson in a classroom. Due to a green card lottery, nerdy girl Bethany, wins a quarter of a million-dollar scholarship to train with the Las Vegas Raiders at Summer camp but she squanders this opportunity and becomes the killer in this movie instead. New girl, Melanie Blatt from the 90's girl band All Saints, jumps right into Miss Prissy's soiled briefs and fills her shoes and is initiated on the first day by being beat down and stomped on due to pecking order etiquette disobedience with 'The Craft' clique. (Wonder if he's still got that stringed broom of his?) Upon seeing Turbo brought back from the 80's Miss Prissy cakes her underwear, loses her composure, and bungee jumps out a third story window, minus the cord, and literally paints the town red. ![]() ![]() In a bungled attempt, Turbo from 'Breakin' is resurrected instead. The DVD cover of this movie reminds me of 'The Craft' for some reason? A diverse cast of teenie's, boarding at some "Our lady of the mission" juvie hall, pull some sort of hazing ritual in an attempt to raise the 1950's hide-and-seek world champ via chanting some Greek olive branch sermon. My rating of "Seance" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort. If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and give "Seance" a wide berth. Well, not unless you count sitting through a rigid and wooden storyline as being scary. There was absolutely nothing scary about the movie. For a horror movie then writer and director Simon Barrett was off the mark by miles. Well, that was not entirely true, because the acting performances put on by the cast in "Seance" was actually quite good, especially when taking into consideration that the actresses and actors just about had virtually nothing to work with in terms of a proper storyline, interesting characters or anything else for that matter. So it was quite a struggle and an ordeal to sit through this movie and find even just anything remotely enjoyable. The storyline, aside from being generic, was incredibly slow paced and uneventful. So yeah, "Seance" wasn't all that and a bag of potato chips. ![]() Everything that transpired within the storyline of "Seance" is stuff that has been done and seen in countless other horror movies, and quite often done and seen better in other movies. Man, talk about a trivial and generic horror movie. And I gave up on it shortly after crossing the halfway mark. But still, giving writer and director Simon Barrett the benefit of the doubt, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, I sat down to watch "Seance". Why? Well, the premise of it and its synopsis just made it seem like it was going to be another one of those a dime a dozen standard young adult horror movies. Sure, when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror mystery movie "Seance", I can't claim that I was harboring much of any high hopes or expectations to the movie. ![]()
