Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 04/12/2023
3/4
It’s low budget, but rates high in the laugh count. Could well become a cult classic. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 04/23/2023
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. Go to Full Review
John Paul King Washington Blade 04/14/2023
A rollicking, raunchy and very gay piece of fluff... but it has a lot more imagination and ambition behind it than meets the eye. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Mindy J 04/02/2023 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. See more Adrian M 04/01/2023 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. See more Jane S Sep 30 I didn't know what I was expecting when I tuned Summoning Sylvia on. I selected horror genre and this movie was one of the selections. Oh my gosh!! So glad I did. So hilarious!! All the actors played their part so well. I would say, this is not a horror movie. Comedy all the way. Loved it... See more Natasha G Jul 10 The ending is what really really had me writing 100%. ❤️ See more Rich C @Cordu0702 May 2 Didn't get there for me. See more @JJBlade Apr 6 I was really surprised at how good this movie turned out to be. It’s a fun, cheeky good time with some great talent. I would have been more interested in a series adaptation, however. See more Read all reviews
