The Possession Audience Reviews

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
melanieaideev One of my favorite movies. It's very unique being that it's Jewish demons that are involved. The x-ray part also thrills me. When he travels very far to meet the jew people. I don't know, i just love the movie. You're always on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next.
littlejojo25 Do you like scary movies? It maybe isn't ground breaking but its a good, solid, scary, supernatural thriller. Does what is says on the tin!
eligri First off, let me say, this movie is a 7/10. I only rated it 10/10 to even out the unfair grade it currently has (5.9/10).I watch a lot of movies, of all genres and ages. I have watched hundreds of horror films, and generally like possession/haunting ones the most. This movie is far better than average, and decently entertaining. Not super scary; but by-far scarier than a lot of other movies classified as horror.Watch the movie, it's far better than what people here are giving it credit for.
SnoopyStyle An old lady tries to destroy a box with Hebrew craving but she is attacked by an invisible force. Basketball coach Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is recently divorced from his wife Stephanie (Kyra Sedgwick). While their daughters Hannah (Madison Davenport) and Emily (Natasha Calis) are staying at his new house, they stop at a yard sale. Emily connects with the box and buys it. She finds a hidden release and opens the box. In it, she finds several containers. She puts on a ring found in one of the containers. Emily starts to change.There is much new in the execution. There is a new kind of box but that's about it. There is a pretty cool scene of fingers coming out of the girl's throat but most of the best effects are left to the last act. That's probably its biggest problem. The movie is too boring for too long. The first half has limited tension and limited atmosphere. By the time the big climax happens, it's way too late.
