Seance is one of my favorite movies. Co-ed Lauren is haunted
by a little girl who once lived in the building before they became part of the
college dorms. During Thanksgiving weekend the dorms are abandoned but for
Lauren, her four friends and the ghost girl.
That is until the students hold an impromptu séance in an
attempt to communicate. The little girl Cara was already here on our plane but
James Spence the building’s maintenance man wasn’t. The pot induced ceremony
unleashed Spence who was ready to reclaim his building.
What made Spence, played by Adrian Paul of Highlander fame,
such a great villain was the fact he said maybe four sentences the entire film.
Not being able to voice threats and taunts Paul had to show us how bad Spence
was going to be in a scene with facial expressions and body language. There was
no denying his intent or meaning even though he was silent.
The way he held his body, even the tilt of his head would
send a chill down your spine. Those cold
blue eyes said I’m gonna get you. A performance spine tingling enough to win "Best Dramatic Feature" at the
Eureka Springs Digital Film Festival. One by one Spence takes them on
uttering not a sound. Next time you don’t hear anything go bump in the night…
turn out the lights and make sure Spence isn’t hiding under your bed.
Glad I read this during the day or I wouldn't have slept last night.
