31 Days of Halloween - Day 3 - The Possession (2012)
A surprisingly good watch, The Possession is about a young girl called Em (Natasha Calis) who picks up a mysterious, old wooden box at a yard sale which – naturally – contains a rather nasty malicious spirit in it called a dybbuk. The dybbuk needs a host and when Em opens the box, it possesses her. Her family start to notice a drastic change in her behaviour, including swarming insects, attitude problems and making her Mum’s new boyfriend’s teeth fall out in one go. Eugh.
Act 3 is the exorcism itself, which is actually pretty terrifying. Comparisons can be made to the movie being a contemporary version of The Exorcist – that stands – and The Possession is a fun, spooky, noncommital view for this pumpkintastic season.
DOES HER HEAD SPIN? Nahhhhh
GORE RATING: 1/5
SCARES: 2/5
DISTURBIA: 1/5
TOTAL HALLOWEEN VIEWING RATING: 6/10
Watch it for: A solid possession/exorcism flick
Watch out for: The sinister MRI
