A gay bachelor party takes a spooky turn when sinister spirits are suddenly summoned. And when the groom's straight ex-military brother crashes the proceedings, laughs and scares collide to create this genre-bender.

It’s low budget, but rates high in the laugh count. Could well become a cult classic.

Rated: 3/4

Culture Mix

Summoning Sylvia is a sassy and hilarious séance comedy, told from a gay male perspective. Travis Coles and Frankie Grande are scene-stealing delights. The unpredictable jokes and gags make this film appealing to people who like comedy made for adults.

A rollicking, raunchy and very gay piece of fluff... but it has a lot more imagination and ambition behind it than meets the eye.

Co-writers and co-directors Wesley Taylor and Alex Wyse have done a nice job in fashioning this horror/comedy/social commentary mash-up. Summoning Sylvia is definitely worth a look.

I got to see this being the only person in the theater and it was awesome! The acting was great from everyone, the jokes were funny but there was also touching moments, there was genuine tension where I was legit wondering what was going to happen and I never saw the twist coming. My favorite scene is the end, but I won't spoil it. I'm just so glad I saw this movie, I really hope more people see it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It was everything you wanted movie, funny, touching, had jump scares. Just fabulous all around. Im not easily touched but there was a part that almost had me crying. Dont want to ruin it so see it and Im sure youll figure out which part it was.

It has a few good lines, but overall, it's mostly forgettable nonsense. Are you really surprised?
