Film Review six of six
This is my final review of the week and a lead into my Sunday‘ Halloween Edition’ podcast .. The Possession goes a little beyond a father and daughter story, its about a working class family where the couple have recently separated, and are now subjected to a cursed antique box, that contains parasitic entity. This film is surprisingly well acted, I have to give praise to Jeffrey Dean Morgan; whether its from Texas Killing Fields, the CW’s Supernatural, Watchmen, or the Losers, he brings a consistent solid performance, regardless of the script or final product. Like the movie Mama, we had images of moths flying around the box representing an ecto/natural balance of the possessed entity; Shortly into the movie the spirit enters the body of daughter, and slowly takes her over. Its methodically paced and a little dark; I really enjoyed the heart of story regarding parental love and sacrifice. And how much a father will do to protect his family. The movie really picks up pace as soon as we get a glimpse of the actual entity, which was just amazingly well played out. The exorcism scene in the hospital, was shocking; I was just glued to my seat wanting to see how the finale of the family’s involvement carried through. It is said to be based on a true story, which is a very loosely depicted incident of a wine box that gave it's owner bad karma like losing his hair. Honestly I prefer the fiction, the truth is just too strange.
