    The Possession

    Reviewed by

    Wow! Talk about a movie that was hair-raising and made you want to grab onto the arms of your seat. I must concur this was a pretty decent show, even better than some of the other possession flicks I've seen in recent years. I thought it had a surprisingly good storyline... very unique. Considering that this was based on a true story, I decided to read up on it and do the research. I was surprised to learn that the movie version's events to the story are actually not that far off base to that of the real one. Sure, there are a few inaccuracies, but Hollywood horror directors seem to like adding extra stuff to make something more entertaining and appealing to the audience. Aside from that, I found that the acting was very good in this picture, the dialogue really interesting as well. I thought Natasha Calis's creepy performance was remarkable as Em. She was really quite convincing to me as a young girl demonically possessed. You couldn't help but notice too that Calis seems to have that natural dark aura which is why I thought she was well suited for the role. Jeffrey Dean Morgan was also tremendous as playing the father. All the other supporting cast did a notable job as well. The movie's limited special effects are good for what they are, but we also get an incredibly effective music score... very creepy, and unsettling I might add. Cinematography is exceptional, and the editing is pretty good too. As someone who loves horror flicks, "The Possession" has good jump scares and images that will stay with you. It especially gets a lot scarier near the end with the actual presence of the evil spirit. Keep in mind this picture is violent (at times), disturbing, and just outright freaky... definitely not for the faint of heart. Overall, great entertainment and well worth the admission price. Two thumbs up.
