You won't be disappointed!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Seance started out interesting enough, because it took the time to build up its characters and presented them as generally likable and realistic. The premise was uncomplicated and likewise believable enough, and of course the inevitable supernatural twist added more to the story.Unfortunately, while it was able to build up a little bit of suspense, when things got to the 'gets real' moment, it fell apart with a hackneyed 'last girl' last act and an inexplicable need to up the body count. It didn't really work either, because this wasn't and shouldn't have been a gore-centred film or a high body count horror. It just ended up being something that made me embarrassed for the generally good actors in it, although the blonde 'last girl' got worse as it went on. The last half-hour didn't do her -- or anyone else -- any favours, but perhaps that's because it was so bad there just wasn't anything for the actors to work with.It's a shame, because this could have been a really fantastic and not too intense haunting movie. If it had been able to keep the feel and pace of the first hour in that last half-hour, it would have been so much better. Once they decided to basically sacrifice the parrot, who really had no other reason for being in the film and was extremely conspicuous because of it, that was where it just dropped sharply downhill.Give this one a miss. It could have been so much more, but whoever wrote it needs a course in resolution.

During holiday break, girls in an empty dorm building hold a seance to contact the ghost of a little girl that haunts their room. Unfortunately, they also bring back a murderer who lived in the building, too.For the most part you can forget any comments about this movie being creepy. (Reviews from someone involved in the production?)It has a few lackluster moments, and it tries, but ultimately fails. Mostly because scenes that are supposed to be set in the dark seem to have as much ambient light as your average daytime soap opera. And the slow fade effects of the ghosts are more cheesy than spooky.The actors playing the students all are very good, with A. J. Lamas a notable standout. Kandis Erickson is also a more than capable lead. Bridget Shergalis is a good silent ghost. Unfortunately the ghostly whistling maintenance man killer is about as scary as a carton of oatmeal. (i.e. not at all scary. Maybe partly due to the overstrong lighting and sometimes laughable fade effects.)This film could have been so much more if only better choices had been made in respect to lighting and special effects.

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 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
