Director Ole Bornedal doesn't add a single idea of his own. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- There may be need for an exorcist, but the power of Christ isn't going to compel the Jewish demon wreaking havoc in this competent but shopworn horror film. Full Review

A better-than-most fright-time tale....The film is the sort of classically minded horror tale that Raimi in particular seems to favor.

Rating: 5/10 -- It's a shame that the film couldn't have been possessed by the spirit of Sam Raimi. Or even Ted Raimi, for that matter. Full Review

The Possession is unlikely to unseat The Exorcist in the pantheon of this horror subject, but it nonetheless works. Full Review

A hollow shell of a possession flick, one that kills 90 minutes successfully but doesn't do anything more. Full Review

By objectifying Jews as exotic others rather than presenting them as subjects, the Raimi production eliminates the precise element that would have been most powerful for a Jewish audience. Full Review

Product Description:

Inspired by Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein's article "A Jinx in a Box," this horror film from Ghost House Pictures and director Ole Bornedal (NIGHTWATCH) tells the tale of a broken family that comes under attack from a malevolent supernatural entity of Jewish folklore. Shortly after her parents (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) divorce, a young girl purchases an ornate antique box at a yard sale. In the weeks that follow, the young girl forms an intense fixation on the box, her behavior growing increasingly bizarre as she falls into the grip of a diabolical apparition. When the girl's father discovers that the relic is in fact a holding cell for the disconnected soul of a deceased person who has been denied entry into the afterlife and needs a human host to inhabit, he fights to rid her of the evil that threatens to consume her body and soul.
