I decided to get back into some horror today after taking
somewhat of a break throughout the past week. Yes, there has been some, but it
has been nowhere near my usual viewing structure. It is good though, sometimes
you need to step back. To get back into the swing, I decided on Séance: The
Summoning from 2011.
Plot/ Four friends decide to record themselves having a
séance. When they summon a demon by mistake, they will have to find a way to
drive the demon out before it destroys them all.
For many weeks, I passed this one up when I went to the
local Family Video Store, and now I know why. While the premise seemed
interesting, clichéd but interesting, I never expected it to be so incoherent.
The scripting is all over the place with poor dialogue and the pacing is off, the
acting is flat and unbelievable, and a lot of it does not add up. Honestly, it
is really a challenge to watch and fully grasp. There is some atmosphere and
some of it, especially at the beginning showed promise, but that was nowhere
near enough to keep this afloat. In the end, it was another in a line of
unmemorable horror flicks that have crossed my screen lately, and a flick that
can be easily skipped.
