Reviews:

“This isn’t an out and out horror film; Séance is a journey into one man’s fall into madness and it chilled me to the bone. The overall mood of the film is dark and creeping, with a slow pacing that definitely doesn’t hurt the film at all – it actually completes it!” The Other View

” …the atmosphere and tension is warp into factor nine and beyond. Nathan Hill adds the chill to Australian horror, and doesn’t break a sweat in doing so […] Some of the acting is slightly on the wooden side of the bench, and in a couple of places I wondered if the dialogue wasn’t slightly too formal for an Aussie setting.” Jeff Ritchie, Scary Minds

” …quite dreary in subject matter and quite slow in pacing. The film left this film fan with a bad taste in the mouth and this is an independent thriller that is more about following a depressed lonely man moping about than offering any horrifying thrills.” Michael Allen, 28 Days Later Analysis
