Summoning Sylvia is almost a really good movie... but it's just not quite enough comedy/horror to push it over the top.
There are some genuine laugh out loud moments throughout the film and overall, it certainly works well as a decent comedy. The "horror" aspects however are basically non-existant.
It really felt like the film would have been boosted even more if there was a little (or maybe even a lot) of extra emphasis on the supernatural threat. The characters never feel like they're in any jeopardy at all.
The cast was overall really great imo as well.
It's too bad, but it seems destined to become a film you'll see and forget about, instead of joining the list of great horror comedies.
