Bruce Gutterman May 24, 2021 Considering it was produced on a small budget, had no known actors, and little or no publicity, it was a surprisingly good little horror film! There was just enough action and killings as well as the mystery as to who was the killer to keep one interested. Once the killings began it got pretty gory, which I like, but moviegoers who don't like that kind of thing should not see this movie. Sometimes when you expect a movie to be a bomb and as in our case, just see it because there is little else playing in the theaters that I haven't seen, many times you might be surprised to find a movie that holds your interest. This one did, at least for my wife and I. I would imagine it will go to cable or OD soon since it won't be a big box office attraction, so save your money and wait for it to be on pay per view or even Netflix. See more

Kashgar A @AllFunAndGames Jan 7, 2026 It wasn’t terrible. It was just a bit stilted and wooden trying to find ground between supernatural horror and slasher whodunit. See more

Trina B @MovieReviewMom Oct 31, 2024 IN A NUTSHELL: “It was a dark and stormy night.” Those are the famous words from novels and this film. This story takes place in 1892 in California. A Victorian woman contemplates adultery when she takes refuge from a storm at the home of her first husband and his unstable wife, who claims to be haunted by their dead child. The film was both written and directed by Vivian Kerr, who also stars in it! Already, the film has won the “ReFrame Stamp” for 2024, which is an award for film and TV productions that demonstrate gender-balanced hiring. THINGS I LIKED: The cast is very good and includes Scottie Thompson, Connor Paolo, Jilon VanOver, and Vivian Kerr. They all gave solid performances. The creepy atmosphere is very well done. The set designs and costumes take you back in time effectively. Those who like mysteries will get a kick out of figuring it out. The story does a good job keeping you guessing what exactly is going on. Act 3 offers a twist. The last scene is really sweet, but also creepy! THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE: People looking for a lot of horror will be disappointed. It feels like a stage play. The actual séance doesn’t last very long. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be bored. Violence with blood Creepy dolls Talk and portrayal of the death of a little girl Talk of life after death To see my full review, go to my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel! See more

Peter W @RT12077588 Jan 5, 2023 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. See more

avindu g @RT86379654 Jul 1, 2022 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. See more
