6:66 Seance Hour – Review

William (Daniel Rankin) is depressed and can’t get over the loss of his fiancé. He’s spent every day alone since her death and nothing can bring him out of it. His friend, Sam (Piers Cunningham) is understanding and gives William time to grieve, but he has to pull himself out of it sometime, so he suggests that they go out for a drink and meet up with a couple of women.

With mixed feelings, William tentatively agrees but soon he starts to talk about losing the love of his life. To put his mind at ease and to help him move on, a séance is suggested as a way to talk with his fiancé one last time. However, once William starts to hear things in the middle of the night, he realises that he may have awakened something he can’t contain.



6:66 Séance Hour or just Séance in other territories is a horror movie directed and co-written by Nathan Hill with Simon Salamon. With the title suggesting a séance and the poster suggesting a supernatural element, horror fans may think they’re in for a treat.

However, this feels like this was a promise the script couldn’t keep as Hill’s focus is mainly on William’s depression and the way it affects his life. It may be good for an audience to see a protagonist they can all relate to in some way, but after a while, the audience may feel bored or even tricked into watching something entirely different.

This means a lot of the time the movie shows William going about his everyday life. Something which may help to highlight the effects of depression which are not often seen, but it just feels like there is a lack of confidence in the script as it takes a lot away from the plot.

Something that could have been better edited with more dialogue and a deeper exploration into William’s depression may have worked better. This unfortunately means that the film doesn’t have the emotional punch that the story needs.

Séance Hour does have something there and although its plot is predictable, with a tighter script and editing it may have been a more satisfying watch.

Joel found out that he had a talent for absorbing film trivia at a young age. Ever since then he has probably watched more films than the average human being, not because he has no filter but because it’s one of the most enjoyable, fulfilling and enriching experiences that a person can have. He also has a weak spot for bad sci-fi/horror movies because he is a huge geek and doesn’t care who knows it.
