When I find a horror film I like, I like to recommend them, mainly because I find so few new ones worthy of doing so. This weekend I watched “Seance” and loved it!

The film takes place in an old university dorm building, which was once an old apartment building. Five kids stay in the dorm over Thanksgiving break. The dorm is said to be haunted by a little girl who died there years ago. One of the girls staying in the dorms over the break can see her, so her friends who don’t believe her get the idea to hold a seance. Unfortunately they accidentally bring back the spirit of someone they shouldn’t have. Let the terror, and the killings, begin!

The movie is a straight to DVD flick, so don’t expect a huge budget and Hollywood production values. Nevertheless it’s well done, well enough to make it to TV unlike many of the “made at home on a Sony digital cameral” horror movies that end up at my movie store nowadays. The acting is good enough, not stellar, not horrible. The story is pretty predictable, and there is only one cringe worthy gore scene. There aren’t any real “boo” moments either.

At this point you’re probably wondering why I’m even bothering to recommend this apparently mediocre flick. Because it was creepy! This is one of those movies that is great to watch in the dark late at night because it will give you the heebie-jeebies. The characters/ghosts are creepy and that’s what makes it work. Also if you rent it, make sure you don’t turn it off when it hits the credits as there is a little bonus scene in the credits!
