Isabelle Adjani's performance in this movie is one of the best performances I've ever seen from an actress, she was incredible! The movie is not easy to watch therefore not really straight forward suspenseful but the overall feel was great, the cinematography was very good and Isabelle Adjani was incredible-Very Good! 8/10

To the people who have weak ability but with huge ambition, the devil is not the death who kills people by holding the sickle but the one with the great power of f... read more

Las películas más pendejas que he visto (92 movies items)

"Como película de terror si funciona, pero cuando a los "intelectuales del cine" se les ocurre sobre pensarla y agregarle cosas de más, tiene un serio problema. Por ejemplo están los idiotas que dicen que esta película no es de "ciencia ficción o fantasía" y es más de la vida cotidiana o realista. Como si las relaciones de pareja fueran así, los que afirman esa tontería o estaban en una relación ultra toxica o no han tenido pareja."

"2.10. Toinen katselukerta. Aina sanonut, että Possession on kauhujen kärkeä. Mutta kuinka kirkkaasti se sitä onkaan. Synkimmissä kauhuissa ei ole vilaustakaan lohdusta, visuaalinen anti on omassa luokassaan ja duo Adjani–Neill vetää sellaisella palolla, ettei paremmasta väliä. "
