Seance

About This Movie

So, 'Seance' is this intriguing find from 2024, right? It’s a silent film, which is rare nowadays, and it's presented on a grainy VHS tape that just gives it this eerie texture. The story dives into really deep themes like grief and the boundaries of life and death, all set against the backdrop of a ghoulish funeral that feels more like a fever dream than reality. The pacing is deliberately slow, building this unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. The practical effects are quite striking, using old-school techniques that give it an authenticity you don't often see. Performances, despite the silence, are emotive, capturing a spectrum of despair and curiosity that is just hauntingly beautiful.
