If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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!

In the Thanksgiving, five college students stay in their dormitory in the old Chelsea building alone with the security guard Syd (Jack Hunter) that locks the building for security reason. When Lauren (Kandis Erickson) tells to her roommates Melina (Tori White) and Alison (Chauntal Lewis) that their bathroom is haunted by the ghost of a little girl, they do not trust on her words. Lauren meets her neighbor of the same floor Grant (Joel Geist) and he tells that the girl was the Italian immigrant Cara Furia (Bridget Shergalis) that died when she felt down in the elevator shaft. He tells that another tragedy happened in the building with the janitor Jesse Spence (Adrian Paul). When Lauren tells the story to her friends, Alison's boyfriend Diego (A.J. Lamas) decides to hold a séance and summon the spirit of Cara Furia. However, they bring of the evil Spencer instead, and their night of fun becomes a nightmare."Séance" is a reasonable ghost story, with a creepy story that is not so bad. However, most of the characters are stupid and has the most imbecile and unreasonable attitude specially considering that they are college students. But the movie entertains and I startled a couple of times. In the end, the policeman says to Lauren that so far they had found three bodies. Wait for the credits, because they find the fourth body with a surprise. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Quarto do Medo" ("Room of Fear")

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..

...because I was tempted to switch over when this was on my TV.From the opening credits I was convinced this was a made-for-TV movie from the US. For a good 45 minutes in, it wouldn't have been out of place on Nick at Night. It has the look and feel of something filmed in one studio over the course of about 3 days.The actors are serviceable, but nothing outstanding. The production design can barely be commented on other than "rooms and corridors". Special effects and any kind of gore appear for about 5 seconds and aren't very effective. I laughed when they probably intended me to go "Ew!" It was only when we saw a nipple and someone said 'F***' that I realised this may not be made for TV (HBO or Showtime wouldn't let something this cruddy be made). Something extremely rare happened - I actually fast-forwarded through some parts. Pointless dialogue mainly.I don't think I've given such a low rating to a film on here yet, but this only gets a 2/10. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
