Surprisingly pretty good and entertaining flick. Some genuinely creepy moments and solid performances. There are some flaws, but for me the good outweighed the bad. Overall, this was a fun late summer movie going experience. 7/10

Family Drama

I was expecting for this film to scare the crap out of my friends and I since the trailer looked scary enough and also because it was based on a real story. But the trailer was very misleading and the anticipation it evoked was met with a surprisingly sad family drama, not a horror movie. I found myself sad for the father, who was misunderstood half of the time, and pitied the daughter who only wa... read more

"This spirit is the taker of children..."

In short, The Possession is not bad. It's not a game-changing horror picture, nor is it a particularly remarkable effort. With that said, however, it fulfils its genre requirements in a satisfying fashion, providing a smattering of thrills and chills despite the restraints of its PG-13 rating. Problem is, it takes too long for the good stuff... read more

" 19 May + Jeffrey Dean Morgan + The hospital exorcism was exciting - Cliché story. I have seen many movies like this one - The children weren't that convincing, especially the older one "

When I was 29... movie diary (Finished) (214 movies items)

"March 02, 2013 I think that despite already terribly hackneyed themes of possession and exorcism, the film was quite interesting. Interesting and scary little girl, I loved also Jeffrey Dean Morgan as father, and Kyra Sedgwick brilliant as always. It was a little scary, but definitely not boring."

“"This spirit is the taker of children..."

In short, The Possession is not bad. It's not a game-changing horror picture, nor is it a particularly remarkable effort. With that said, however, it fulfils its genre requirements in a satisfying fashion, providing a smattering of thrills and chills despite the restraints of its PG-13 rating. Problem is, it takes too long for the good stuff to kick in, leaving about an hour of pure mediocrity and boredom. The Possession carries the proverbial "Based upon true events" caption, as it was inspired by a Los Angeles Times article from 2004 which detailed ominous hauntings connected with an antique box purchased from eBay. It's a fascinating concept, providing ample opportunities for mindless ghost antics, but the end result ultimately falls s” read more

"First Viewing Jan 21 I had anticipated this film ever since I first heard about while it was in production. I was NOT let down! It was fabulous! Very creepy! Not to mention Jeffery Dean Morgan!!!! (Me being a huge Supernatural fan). "
