The Possession
2012
Ole Bornedal
Scary, Thriller, Mystery, Paranormal
*safety warning* flashing lights that could trigger seizure.
This thrilling paranormal film centers around a haunted object, serving us an intriguing possession story.
You've seen Catholic exorcism films before... but have you seen a Jewish exorcism?
While we appreciate the freshness of the religion change, there is a "mystical foreigner" element to the film, a classic horror trope that today is considered racist.
Speaking of tropes, we also get a classic "research trope" scene that is laughable.
the best part of the film is the pace, just expertly done.
*spoiler* There is one really cheesy and dumb moment that kind of ruins the film, but just keep watching, we think it is worth it.
Features Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Natasha Calis, Kyra Sedgwick, and others.
