Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: The Possession

Genre:  Horror Thriller,  contains strong demonic paranormal violences

Cert: 18 cert

Story: Based on a true story, The Possession is the terrifying account of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.

Likes : This truly has to be very physiological spin chilling supernatural horror film Ive ever seen, from the get go this film throws you in to a dark world of demons & this real dose deliver on the creepiness of horror films.Some of these scene in the film really put me on edge special the hospital scene that really freaked me out even tho you saw it coming.Jeffrey Dean Morgan (star of supernaturals john Winchester) plays the father Clyde, his character is a loving father that struggle to raise his kids after a divorce with his wife but is pulled in to the nightmare when he start noticing his daughter behaviour change after she gets this box at a yard sale.i find the Jeffery dean Morgan is a brilliant actor seeing him in supernatural i find he real throws him self in to a role & makes it look real.Natasha Calis plays the possessed girl Em which at first you through was a sweet kid but when she gets the box my god she really looked evil in some scene when the demon took over,i love the way they show the character change slowly over time to this demonic creature that was fantastic.Kyra Sedgwick plays the mother of the two girls Stephanie, she plays this ex wife that starts to hate Clyde with the thing happening but dosent realise what truly going on until she find out for her self, i love her acting she really showed fear in her eyes hen she noticed her daughter wasn't right.Jay Brazeau plays a demonology expert that can speak Latin & tell Clyde what the box is.Madison Davenport plays the sister of em, her character showed real fear & worry when things started to happen in the house.Matisyahu plays the Rabi Tzadok that help the family get rid of the demonic presents that in em.Along with the special effect of this film it delivers a physiological feel of terror to everyone's nightmares,with out a doubt this has to be one of the best horror film for the psychological theme around to date for any horror fans this is one to watch.its creepy,spin chilling & psychologically creepy.

Dislike: Only one thing is that its a little to close to the films unborn & exorcist but its a good horror film to watch.

Overall : if you love a pyschology chilling film, creepiness that woud freak you out this is one to watch,seriously creepy.

Rating: 4 out of 5 for storyline based on a true story, 8 out of 10 for he demonic theme & creepiness of the film
