Seance: The Summoning

So four friends go into a mortuary to have a seance. There's the pagan non believer, the atheist, the good girl Christian and the nomdescript friend. It seems like all Christian Horror movies have to include a plot line about abortion and this one does not disappoint. The acting is okay. The script is silly at times. The movie isn't scary or overly graphic. There's no nudity but there is an attempted rape scene. Is it the worst movie I've seen? No. Would I recommend it to anyone else? Also, no.

This film was so hard to sit through, what started out as a decent B movie film got stale very quick with the same scene that lasted for over an hour. It's story involved two girls & two guys, one of which was the security guard at the city morgue. So they decide to have a seance there around all the dead bodies in hopes of contacting spirits, all of which is being done to prove to this Joey character that there is an afterlife of some kind, so Eva a self proclaimed medium was the lead at the table to prove him wrong. So once they get started something goes very wrong, so they decide to try again(genius). Of coarse the second attempt goes even worse than the first and we are stuck looking at a very overdone and lame scenario for the next hour, with people running around acting stupid.

I found it hard to keep my attention on it and the only reason I watched the whole thing is to write a review to let other people know how bad this hole thing was right to the very end. I don't like to bash films or write negative reviews but sometimes it just needs to be done for humanity's sake. I don't recommend watching it, not even for a time killer because it will probably just end up annoying you, and there is certainly enough annoyances in life already.

At the time of my review there were only 3 others. One reviewer,IMHO, didn't even watch the same movie as me. Another one of the reviewers really skewered the movie but still gave it 3 stars. Lets be honest, both the script and the acting was amateurish. There were no likable characters. Nor were they believable. I have to confess that I didn't see the whole movie, a quarter of the way in I couldn't stand it any more. I didn't want to be one of the reviewers who complain about wasting 2 hours of their life; hey, to those reviewers; why didn't you stop once you found out that the movie was awful? It is obvious what level of production this movie is well within the first 5 minutes. Even if you were intrigued by the plot; the production values are instantly identifiably bad; and no way bad in the good sense. Like a lot of other complaints about the rating system, I really wish it started with zero instead of one. Seems like this review has turned out to be about other things besides the movie itself but there's no sense in wasting any more of one's time than what's already been wasted. Forgive me for ranting.

The ONLY reason I could get through this movie (after several tries) was for actor Bobby Campo. I mean he's the reason I watched in the first place but I expected it to be good at least.

The two lead girls couldn't act their way out of a seance, by the end I barely remembered the other guy. Plot was dumb but could've worked had it been acted believably.

Now I know Campo's not the best actor in the world but the eye candy alone was worth it for me, besides he was actually good as always. Ok I'm bias because I have a "crush" but his cute face, hot little shirtless body in those tight jeans I'm hooked! And that sexy demon voice? "EVAAAAA" C'monnnn lmao...

Anyway the acting got slightly(?) better towards the end. It's basically about 4 idiot friends who go to this haunted morgue or something to see if they could get whatever on film with their camera. 1 girl is the otherworldly queen, Campo is the hot unbeliever, other chick super religious with dark secret, and camera dude. Seance stuff happens, it goes bad, Campo gets possessed, horror ensues, tea is spilled.

Ok the drama wasn't that bad but it was just hard to get got boring or just plain bad and ever the top, I mean if it wasn't for demon hottie I probably wouldn't of made it to the summoning.

The setting was cool I guess, funny at times (but not when it's supposed to be), oh and it gets reeeeal Jesus-sy like almost annoying, hmm rats are always a turn off... and what else? They had minimal but decent effects and junk but all in all I'd say... yea it kinda sucked.

Hey, I'd totally like to kiss that Campo guy tho haha.

From the makers of the remarkable 'Hellraiser', this is not only awful it's bloody terrible! It's a real horror show (excuse the pun) and I just about made it through to the bitter end.
