Summoned

Defo an afternoon type film. The acting is pretty bad. The suspense it there though which is probably why I gave it a 4 rather than a 3 rating.

So I was surprised to see this film was made in 2013, because it does have a very old school/90s feel to it, and it looked old with some of effects as well. Some of the effects were a little cheesy in the way you'd see an older film pull it off too. So the lower budget did show a little. I can see why some reviews said it looked made for TV.

I really liked the detective angle of trying to get answers with what's going on supernaturally, and with the murder case. I thought it was a good way for the characters to get the answers they needed. I thought the plot was mostly well thought out, but did get a little weaker at the end.

Overall a decent job and I did actually enjoy watching it. I've seen much worse.

This felt more of a day time TV movie with a bit of a jump scare thrown in. A supernatural crime movie but with a weak anti climax. I think we expected more and were left a bit annoyed at ourselves for ensuring the rest of the movie.

This one starts like your typical ghost story. Someone dies at the beginning, a mystic presence is involved and then we move on. We learn a little more about the situation here, who's involved, about our 2 main characters as Cuba Gooding Jr. even tho he holds the poster, makes short appearances, and the ghost.

OK, we have a ghost, but it will be like NOTHING you expect, it's more of a police movie and it doesn't work as good as anyone would think. Because through this film, the supernatural just faydes away little by little till we are left with nothing more than bang bang, this is my riffle, this is my gun.

So there you have, a truly short inside of what you'll find here. Action police story meets a ghost, the ghost leaves, the cops remain, and confusion reigns!

Overall, I give this a 6, probably a little more than it deserves, but what the heck, I'm feeling generous today! I don't recommend it tho, it's not what you would think so: little Cuba Gooding Jr., little ghost story, and almost no horror. Cheers!

"Saw him again this afternoon. Seems to be stalking me wherever I go." Five years ago serial killer Simon Bourdias was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. Now mysterious deaths are occurring to the members of the jury. Juror number 5 Laura Price (Scott) starts to investigate and begins to wonder if the deaths are a coincidence or something more mysterious then she ever imagined. I have to say that after the last Cuba Gooding movie I watched I was very worried that this one would be bad too. Not to spoil anything but he is in this for about 10 minutes. That said this movie was not that terrible. While it does have the feel of a made-for-TV movie it is watchable and I have seen much worse. The movie is a little slow at times and a little repetitive but it does keep you watching and interested all the way till the end. Overall, one of the better B-rate movies that I have seen in awhile. Nothing amazing but this is worth watching. I surprisingly give it a B.
