Wasnt expecting a whole lot, and i got less than i expected. Got boring midway through, became horribly predictable and the acting got more awkward as the movie progressed. Dont bother. It wasnt even entertaining in a cheesy way.
Cons bad acting
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Very good movie, very suspensful, just graphic enough to get the desired effect, without being overly gross.
Certain scenes purposely let you imagine what is going on, without showing you every gory detail.
Definitely worth seeing, NOT an over-the-top slasher movie!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

First I have to say I'm a die hard Jeffrey Dean Morgan fan so his role in the movie is what I loved. But he deserves better than this, and so does Kyra. Jeffrey and Kyra do their best but they can't elevate the movie above an average story telling level.
If you were living this story, you'd be terrified for your child, but watching it in a movie theater, I was not the least bit nervous, let alone scared. My 13 year old granddaughter was with me, and not scared. Some people think it's scary but I assume they also got nervous during Hercules or Xena, another Raimi/Tapert collaboration.
The movie never gets to a terrifying climax. The final scene is shot in a physical therapy room with blindingly bright lights. This should have been a dark scene, perhaps with the lights going out and the red glow of generators lighting it.
Kyra's boyfriend is completely unnecessary and I don't see why his part was even written, let alone left in the movie. The kids are great...good acting. Look forward to seeing them in the future.
I recommend the movie because the story is suppose to be true, and if you love Jeffrey, you'll be happy to see it. Just don't go expecting to be scared. It's not likely. No blood or gore, no swearing...not scary enough to me for even the PG 13.
Pros great actors, jeffrey dean morgan
Cons slow, poor lighting effects, no terror level
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Being a horror movie junkie, I think this movie is one of the better horror films in recent years. Getting away from the traditional possession stories of the Catholic priest performing a exorcism is a welcome break.
Non-believers have a difficult time with this type of film with the cinemography of the demon but i say well played. Creepy and disturbing, right up my alley.
I am very impressed with Natasha Calis (Em), she put forth an excellent performance with this movie, i will be looking forward to more by her. As always Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick are right on.
You HAVE to be a believer in displaced spirits to thoroughly enjoy this film.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

So disappointed, exactly why I don't go to the movies anymore! The movie went by too quickly, if anything, and it was just not as scary as you would hope so. I only jumped once and if you saw the commercials, you have seen the movie, because those are all the scary parts! Next time don't show all the scary parts in the commercial and maybe if I didnt already know what was happening, it would have been decent. Love the actors, just wasn't a really great movie after all. So wish I would have seen lawless!
Pros jewish possession story
Cons too quick not enough suspense or thrills
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I liked the movie, the little girl actresses did an amazing job. I think the studio messed up though in releasing the scariest parts in the trailers. Had they left most of those out it would have been scary. Btw Matishayu was awesome in his role.

This movie I recommend as a basic guide line for spiritual warfare. Even though, some scene I may question on actual events, I may add that all things are possible when demonic possession is concerned. If your looking for a horror flick, this may not be what your looking for, however if your looking for " what and what not to do" where spiritual warfare in concern, this movie I recommend.

It's an updating of The Exorcist that's worthy of seeing. The Judiastic take on possession is filled with mysticism, fear and a nasty little demon.
But when the story comes down to earth it falls apart with a cliched dysfunctional family with a problem that no one can fathom. Hollywood lives in such a big bubble that none of them know what breaks a family these days.
thus you don;'care about them as much as the film wants you to and in the end ... meh.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was a really good horror film. It stands out among other horror movies that rely solely on shock value and special effects for that special punch which only a horror film can produce. The story line was consistent and interesting unlike a lot of other films of this genre being made these days, and it had a good ending. A lot of the story and emotion being conveyed by the actors was obvious just from the looks on their faces which is also something I feel is generally lost in horror films these days. A very good movie that I would gladly see again.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

This had a realistic storyline with the perfect balance of humor and scary scenes. I jumped, I screamed, I laughed, and I grasped my arm rests in fear. This was a rollercoaster of a ride movie. I especially liked the family connection (the mom and dad's relationship).

The Possession" relies less on shock value and more on a well-told tale, methodically presented, and building to an exciting climax.
Even if you resist the film's claims of being based on one family's actual experiences, "The Possession" is eerily enjoyable pulp. Is The Possession destined to be a classic? Probably not. But it's well worth a few bucks to see on the big screen, and is certainly one of the better hellish-havoc flicks I've seen in some time.
Pros well paced
Yes, I recommend this movie.
