This thriller kept gore and sex to the minimum and tried to blend the detective story with supernatural ;add a "pattern" (which the slayer follows) ,the kind of stuff Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen lent credibility too , and was brilliantly treated in one of the best thrillers of the nineties "seven" .But Peter Sullivan who not only directed but also wrote the screenplay in neither Christie nor Queen :his story has as many plot holes as Swiss Cheese , and its action is too hurried for comfort. What the police and the judges were not able to do five years ago, Ashley Scott effortlessly did it. Single-handedly , cause ,although at the top of the bill ,Cuba Gooding Jr is only supporting ,and Chase "Longmire" Bailey is only an attentive escort , it's Scott who discovers the "clues". Like Demi Moore in "the juror" ,she might die (on the third day after the last murder) ,for a mysterious assassin is doing away with the members of the jury of a trial which took place five years ago. Her dead child is only a trick to justify the last scene ,which does not review the genre ;the professor and her 1% are here to give the de rigueur cultural alibi to a far-fetched story. Entertaining at best;very average MTV film.

I like Summoned. It's the thrill genre I enjoy. Ashley was pretty back then.

Other than a couple of fairly jumpy moments, this is about as bad as it gets... poor plot, script and acting - and not at all scary. That's an hour and a half of my life I won't get back!

I really enjoyed Summoned as it had a slight old school feel to it similar to Denzel Washington's 90's film "Fallen" but this was obviously a lower budget production, a t.v movie i believe but as such it was very well done & very interesting. A very old school 90's B-movie Cop Thriller feel to it. A group of former Jury members from a big high profile murder case called the "Midnight Murders" are suddenly being killed off one by one in the order of their seat numbers from year's before of their Jury time. This comes to the attention of the beautiful Ashley Scott as Laura who was also one of the Jurors & she starts to investigate into these suspicious deaths. Ashley gives a decent performance & is believable as she tries to find out why this is suddenly happening to the jury members years later. Bailey Chase is the lead Detective on this case & teams up with Laura, he's a very basic serious cop character but ok. I liked having the veteran actor James Hong (Big Trouble In Little China) also as one of the older Jurors in a small part. The Coolest part of this neat Thriller is having Cuba Gooding Jr (Judgment Night) in the supporting role of Detective Callendar, the lead Detective from years before on the Midnight Murders case. Gooding Jr is always a decent actor & I've always liked him & here he plays his part like an old school Cop from the 80's or 90's with his look, a mustache & gun holster hanging around his shirt as he sits at his desk, just such a cool cop image & the type of part a character actor would play such as Tom Atkins for example. Gooding Jr brings some class to this cheap film & is good in his role. I liked the nice mix of Detective Mystery & Supernatural Thriller & the really beautiful setting of San Francisco. The the famous city is shot really beautifully especially the night time view of the city & the huge famous bridge & the lovely sunny day time scenes. The music is really good too, it's basically proper daytime "Thriller movie" music & works perfectly. There's little to no gore but that's to be expected from a daytime t.v film but there is a silly soft erotic scene that is out of place. I liked the whole investigating stuff & Detective work & the supernatural stuff is very minimal & not scary at all but that's fine & it all makes sense at the end with a neat little twist. Why are these Jurors being picked off one by one? Why now? These are the main questions & the answer was good. Honestly a well done & Decent little Thriller with a good little cast & really nice Cinematography & music make this a good entertaining movie. Really alot better than it probably should be.

In the opening scene, Nathan (Scott Whyte) finds himself thrust into the middle of a Steven King novel. He was the jury foreman of a trial that convicted Evan Lucas (Dylan Vox) of murder. Now it appears Lucas is back as the jurors die one by one with a supernatural element involved. Laura Price (Ashley Scott) is juror number 5 and has started to track the deaths once weird things start to happen to her. Laura gets the eager help of detective Michael Lyons (Bailey Chase) and a minor role for Cuba Gooding Jr. no matter how big they slap his face on the cover. After an hour of low grade horror the film shift gears to a low grade detective case. The film felt like Steven King wrote a film for the Lifetime network and then died before he could finish leaving it up to network writers to complete. It was a horror film that has been done before and better. Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Implied sex. Ashley Scott in undergarments.

Definitely feels like a made for TV film, but I really enjoyed it. Made me jump quite a bit for only a PG rating too.. bit embarrassing I know.

Defo an afternoon type film. The acting is pretty bad. The suspense it there though which is probably why I gave it a 4 rather than a 3 rating.

Can someone explain why there is a letter to the police from madeleine McCanns parents.in this movie.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. has been in some real dogs lately, so with "Summoned", I didn't expect much. What I didn't expect was for Mr. Gooding to make a couple of bland cameo appearances that added exactly nothing to the story. Any actor from Central Casting could as easily have filled this slot. And playing on Mr. Gooding's name to sell the film, well, considering his recent films, I'm not sure that was a brilliant idea either. Getting past that, this film had reasonable suspense but was of course disappointing since it made no sense whatsoever. In the beginning it appears that the spirit of an executed serial killer has come back to avenge himself on the 12 jurors who convicted him. But that's just trick photography. We eventually learn that a real live person is doing the killing. But why? Forget the many reasons you might dream up. There is no reason. Just senseless killing. For all that, the actors do a credible job and keep up the suspense. It's simply that the end and the entire exposition turn out to be so lame it makes you feel you've been cheatedagain. And what in the world does the word "Summoned" have to do with this?

Lifetime adds it's touch to the supernatural thriller genre about former members of a jury who sentenced a man to death. One by one they start dying - is it a ghost or natural? It's moderately predictable in a reassuring lifetime way. It's also a bit weak especially in the romance part. Ashley Scott is in a lot of LMN movies these days and she is a bit painful to watch at times. There is an inadvertently funny part with James Hong. Poor Cuba, what are you doing in this kind of TV movie? Overall okay for a relaxing watch if you just want to unwind and switch off your brain for a couple of hours.
