 My Review of The Possession

It’s always good to feel you’ve gotten exactly what you paid for when you view a movie, and The Possession delivers on its promise of a feature film about human possessed by a demon. If you liked The Exorcist, you should enjoy The Possession, because it was action packed and full of surprise twists—the elements of a good possession movie.

This movie opened with an action sequence, so it is clear the director, Ole Bornedal, considered audience expectations during shooting because the movie maintained a fast, steady pace. The movie did not overly explain the origin of possessions, which was beneficial to the audience because too much detail would have slowed the movie down.

The movie had several twists and would have been outstanding if a few more had been added; however, overall it was a good movie for the genre. One twist that was refreshing was that the possessed girl’s father was more aware of the change in her behavior than was her mother. The Box, which contained the demon, was also a fun new twist and a great way to leave room for a sequel. I will end the review here to avoid spoiling it for those who have yet to see it. If you have seen the movie, please share your take on it in our comments section.  *Please label Spoiler comments as such*
