Unlike other neo-modern ghost stories, the presence is never met head-on. Some are just waiting for the grim reaper to arrive to take them away than wanting to talk with the mortician.Įva's feeling about the place is easily summed up when she says, "The energy is all weird in here." But no one knows what kind of souls-good or bad-may be lurking about in a morgue. ![]() Results are always guaranteed when an Ouija board is used. This film is off the mark when logic does not prevail. Demonizing another person's beliefs can work if it is done right, but this film does not go far enough. When compared to many other movies that share the college kids flirting with danger theme, this product does not stand out against the crowd.

In the real life world, the Voodoo religion is still practiced in Haiti. When the religion is a blend of both Roman Catholic and Western African (Vodon) beliefs, the knowledge they wield is far more comprehensive than any one faith can cover. Who needs a Ghost Whisperer when Eva ( Nazneen Contractor, "24"), a Santería Priestess, can do a better job? In the movie Séance: the Summoning, she proves that those folks gifted with the ability to know what they are doing while others are out for a quick buck. Cast: Bobby Campo, Nazneen Contractor, Devon Ogden and Chris Olivero. ![]()
