Review of The Possession (2012) by Brett C — 26 Jan 2014
Point Based Review:
- Forced family story.
- The climax was not worth the wait.
- I do not understand the girl's connection with the box.
- It rips off many of the exorcism films that has already been released in the past, feeling very uninspired.
-Sudden cuts appear to move the film along, but yet it still feels draggy and slow like it was going through a very viscous surface.
- Uses fade outs to close the scene but the scenes don't leave you with anything that keeps the audience engaged or even interested on what might come next.
- The photography felt off, with the image feeling overly bright and unnatural, taking a much more artificial look like it was filtered to create a "personality".
- The score was unoriginal and plays at moments where it is meant to scare you but instead comes off as cliche and overly annoying.
- It relies so much on it's special effects to try and "scare" you.
- Actors may be the best part of the film, with them not feeling over the top or annoying to watch on screen.
-The issue instead is mostly found on the very not well thought of writing, with lacking any punch or finesse in it's dialogue or narrative.
-Overall, don't bother with this and find The Exorcist or at the very least The Rite instead.
