I have only one thing. This movie could have been more but Sara's played by Devon, mouth drove me crazy throughout this movie. Why in the world would you not tell this woman how ridiculous she looks in this movie. I will tell you to never ever play any parts that make you cry or scream. So ridiculously ugly!!!!!!
And what it is is not very good. SEANCE: THE SUMMONING is an entirely cheap seance/possession flick in which a quartet of rather unlikeable characters break into an old morgue to hold a seance for some stupid reason or other. Before long one of their number becomes possessed by the spirit of an ancient demon and death, murder, and madness ensue.
This is a cheap little B-movie with very little to recommend it to the horror fan apart from some cheap gore effects here and there and lots of desperate attempts to be scary. Despite the intensity of pitch, none of this is remotely frightening and indeed it all seems rather familiar and lacklustre, with the usual script lines that sound like they're ripped off from THE EXORCIST and the like. The acting is bog standard, frequently verging into ham territory, and the running time drags out despite the relative shortness of the production. Next, please...

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.

The friends Marcus (Chris Olivero), Joey (Bobby Campo), Eva (Nazneen Contractor) and Sara (Devon Ogden) go to the morgue where Marcus works to record a séance summoned by Eva that is a medium. Joey does not believe that Eva is capable to summon spirits and make jokes all the time. However, Eva summons a demon by mistake and Joey is possessed by the fiend. The Christian Sara tries to exorcise Joey but the powerful demon has many tricks to lure her.
"Seance: The Summoning" is a low-budget movie with great potential but unfortunately it fails. Sara and Eva try to use the help of God to defeat the demon but the fight between good and evil is poorly resolved. In the end, neither God nor the devil wins the battle and the story becomes pointless. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Evocação – A Porta do Diabo" ("Evocation – The Devil's Door")

As i can see many quite negative reviews for me this movies wasn't as bad as it seemed, in my opinion. I think the movie deserved a better rating as to what it has now to me this movie seem a lot similar to all of the other possession movies it was slightly predictable by it's title although i was not put of for one i actually really enjoyed the movie, it was not too scary but not to mild either just quite right. i think more people should give this flick more credit, thus it's actually a good movie it may have been on a low budget but that doesn't affect it's watchablity. I high recommend this movie as in my opinion it was really good.
