Seance [Movie Review]

Every school has its own ghost story. And Fairfield Academy is no exception. A group of bored school girls tries to summon a spirit who allegedly was a student of the academy and killed herself years ago. It turns out to be a elaborate hoax, but it manages to scare one of the girls. When the others hear she screams afterwards in her room, they think that she was getting back at them for scaring her. But when they go to check on her, they were scarred for life when they realized that the scream was real and she is dead, apparently fallen from her window. 

Not long after, a new student, Camille registers at the academy and is assigned to the victim's room. There, she experiences electrical glitches and have the principal's son to assist him in fixing the electricals.

Not jiving nicely with the other girls, Camille stands on her own and pay no mind to the other girls, who love doing séance and call upon spirits that haunt the academy ground. 

But when one by one of the girls start to go missing, all eyes direct towards Camille, as she is the unfamiliar figure at the academy. And as she is independent and as she is not the one to be blamed over suspicions, she starts her own digging about the mysterious disappearing of the girls. 

Is it the doing of a restless ghoul or is there bad intention running amok?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 3.7/ 5.0 The movie started with somewhat a promising premise and then lost its track and momentum along the way. 

Maybe it is because of too much watching movies, but I seem to have figured out the plot not even 30 minutes into the movie. 

Cast: 3.5/ 5.0 Some were better than the other. But most are not. 

Will I watch it again: No, thanks.
