Science of a Seance

About This Movie

Science of a Seance is a haunting exploration of grief, wrapped in a horror package. Directed by Louie La Vella, it juxtaposes the skeptic's cold rationalism against the raw, aching need for connection. The atmosphere is thick with tension, enhanced by practical effects that ground the supernatural elements in a visceral way. The pacing ebbs and flows, capturing the dread of the unknown while allowing for moments of reflection. Performances are compelling, especially the chemistry between the brother and sister, which drives the emotional core of the film. It dives into themes of loss and the lengths we go to find closure, making it distinct amidst the usual horror tropes. A different vibe than your average seance flick, for sure.
