The Possession product reviews

Based on a true story... hmmmm... whenever a horror movie states this loud and clear on the cover, or in fact, anywhere within the movie, description or poster I am always sceptical and that always takes a little bit of enjoyment out of a film as the producers are assuming that I am dumb enough to believe it. The story that this is based upon pales in comparison to the contents of this film, but I must remember I'm not here to review that statement

It all starts with a young girl, who lives with her mum and sister, and weekends they live with their dad. It's a recent break-up, so obviously going for the, she's just had her family life disrupted she's extra vulnerable route. It's not a bad route, and obviously does create more drama as the issues to begin with only arise when she is living with her dad, but, it is also very clichà ©d.

The special effects are good and flow smoothly. There are plenty of chances for it, and it does a good job. The plot, well, it's what you'd expect. I certainly didn't find anything particularly new about this movie but it was a decent 1 and 1/2 hours viewing time. The length was perfect as any longer and I would have tuned out.
