Séance Games: Metaxu

This was an enjoyable watch with some tense scenes and funny moments. The actors did a great job and there was a real chemistry between the cast. I think they found some real up and coming talent and it will be cool to see what they all do next. I also thought it looked good for a low budget movie with some cool locations and impressive practical effects. Some parts were intentionally a little bit goofy whereas others were more emotional and impactful. I don't watch a lot of horror movies and I didn't find it overly scary, so as long as you're remotely interested in horror I think you will be fine to watch it.

The very beginning drew me in - working through the final scene but without context. It caught me immediately, though there was some curious confusion. At first, I was bothered by the cheesiness and thought the acting was sub-par. However, as I watched it, I came to feel more like it was an intentional artistic direction (especially when you consider some of the actors). There are some bigger names along with new names, which makes this small cast a great mix. You can see the true acting skill towards the end, as all of the anger comes out. This movie watched like a stage play on film. And . . . You know what? I liked it!

So, listen. I don't leave a lot of reviews, mainly because good movies are good and bad movies are bad and everyone knows which are which. That said....

This movie started out with a great premise and the first 1/2 of the movies was well done plot-wise. The acting was a bit low quality but it was good enough to keep me watching (which is no small feat these days). I thought maybe 'd figure out who killed the sister, but boy was I wrong.

The second half of this movie was not just a train wreck, but also a plane crash, boat sinking and a satellite falling out of space. The plot went off the rails and not only was i wrong the real answer was obvious, but you had to find that out thru the worst plot twist in the history of plot twists. I should have know when i saw Eric Roberts was in the cast.

I mean, if you want to watch this, so be it. But you're better off going for a drive to a small town in the middle of nowhere to see if children have taken it over.

You know how it is, scrolling through Amazon Prime, looking for something to watch and most times you're really playing movie roulette. Will it be good, or meh? I saw SEANCE GAMES listed, a new horror movie starring Eric Roberts, and I thought, why not? Very glad I took the chance. A lot of these movies tend to be very claustrophobic, which is a reflection of budgetary constraints. This movie opens with great scope, and becomes a very refreshing take on the haunted house story, upgrading it with Internet and social media elements. Very interesting take and well acted by some young newcomers and of course, Eric Roberts brings class and sophistication to his role. A great feature film directorial debut from Tane' McClure, and I look forward to seeing future projects from her and the rest of the cast!

Came across this and as always checked out the reviews. I NEVER believe a "1" or "10" so thought I'd check out this newish movie and do my own review. The mystery-thriller components raises it above the basic horror genre.

The desert location and then the definitely spooky main interiors setting of the hotel set the stage for chills. The characters were engaging and then some became downright evil! That transition led to dramatic scenes. And the special paranormal effects definitely added to the overall spooky ambience.

Don't let the extreme ratings scare you off! This is a strong 8 - pop up some popcorn for yourself and a pal and prepare for some surprises!
