Seance (2021)

Review by Gigantoscula

Seance

6/10

Worth a watch, but don't expect too much

This is just one of those movies that you watch and you'll forget about it rather quickly. There's not much going on for it. For the most part, it feels over the top, but that's what happens when adults are written teenager roles, they're out of touch and base everything on what they teenage years were like, which comes out to be, obviously, far from the current reality.

People are blaming this on bad acting, however I feel like the acting was decent, the part that wasn't was what the actresses were given to work with. All they did was delivering their lines, which I felt like it wasn't bad. On the other hand, having a 30 year old lead actress that plays a teenager is a bit much, everyone else looked much younger, and it broke immersion. There are plenty of upcoming actresses that would do this movie for peanuts, but they decided to cast a fully grown woman for this. Having a 30 year old woman wear a school uniform won't make her 17 again. Again, not the actress' fault, it was a role like any other and she did her part fine.

The plot is much like the "Scream" movie, nonsense, but sometimes enjoyable. The kills being off-camera was a terrible decision, I didn't like that at all. However, if they wanted this to be PG-13 and more accessible to the masses, I'd understand, but it wasn't for me so I'll deduct points for that.

The killer is inconsistent, and at points they look professional and other times like a damn clown, but I won't spoil it for you, go ahead and watch this, but keep it for a rainy night, if you want to watch something actually nice, this is not the movie. For the guys out there, keep this to watch with your partner, it's good background noise.

Jokes aside, this is a decent movie that is worth a watch, especially for fans of this genre. Respectable 6/10.
