About This Movie

"Séance" (2024) dives into the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of late 19th century California. The film unravels the complex dynamics of love and loss through the character of Emma Strand, skillfully portrayed by Scottie Thompson. The tension between the past and the present is palpable, especially with the haunting presence of her first husband George, played by Jilon VanOver, and his volatile wife, Lillian. The pacing is deliberately slow, building a sense of dread that lingers throughout. Practical effects enhance the ghostly elements, giving it a raw, unsettling vibe. It’s the performances that really stand out; Thompson's emotional depth paired with Kerr's intensity creates an engaging watch that keeps you on edge. It's a distinctive blend of drama and horror that feels refreshingly different from the usual fare."
