    Seance doesn't work as well as Pulse, another one of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's movies, because there's no real foundation for the slow-burn atmosphere. Pulse featured a plot about isolation, so the film felt appropriately lonely and claustrophobic. Seance feels like it's being slow for ...( read more)the hell of it.

    Still, I love Kurosawa's style. It's distinctive, beautiful, wildly evocative and allows an audience to use their imaginations. The plot of this movie did seem a little more coherent than Pulse at times, and I loved the characters. Jun Fubuki gives a great, psychologically charged performance as a psychic woman who's sick of living in the spotlight of her successful husband, a performance that ultimately carries the plot of the entire movie.

    This one will try your patience, but be good to it - it has a lot to give.

    Slow, plodding, bland drama with a couple coffee spillers thrown it. Uneven with plot holes (beating a ghost with a stick?), the film comes to an unexpected halt (I think they ran out of film and decided to go with what they had). Don't expect much and you wont be disappointed.

    Interesting premise and a fairly good execution, but seemed to be missing something for me. Enjoyable suspense-laden film, though.

    Slow and predictable - couldn't make it all the way through, so I missed out on the pay-off at the end (assuming there is one). I may give it another go at some point

    Okay, I'm just never going to 'get' this director at all. The glacial pacing of the film coupled with the silly gaps in logic just don't amount to much with this movie. The cinematography looks great at first, but what is supposedly deliberate and forced perspectives just becam...( read more)e boring as hell to me after the first 45 minutes or so, especially when you can pretty easily see where this is going a LONG time before the ending finally wanders in.

    Pass, please.

    The ending was predictable of course, overall a pretty descent movie not what I expected at all well worth the watch.

    This is a great movie and a terrible movie. It's very slow in the beginning with little in way of suspense. Then It turns into this great original story. Then some cheesy effects(Was that suppose to be a puppet?) and a dissappointing ending bring you right back down. A remake of...( read more) this, concentrating on the core story, would make an excellent film.
