Featured review
A teen : Natasha Callis buys a strange box at a yard sale. But then things go wrong when in the box emerges a weird spirit. Along the way, the girl's dad : Jeffrey Dean Morgan and his ex-wife : Kyra Sedgwick attempt to find out the bizarre possession and to end the nightmarish curse. Fear the Demon that doesn't fear God !. Darkness lives inside. Pray for Her. Based on a true story.
Ordinary Exorcist movie style with usual ingredients as possession, violent events, disgusting faces from the possessed people, grisly crimes and poltergeister phenomena . The plot is plain and simple, a girl adquires an antique box unware that inside there's a terrible and malicious spirit, resulting in fateful consequences. The main difference between this Possession 2012 and others Exorcist clones is the "Jew" view point, while the remaining films used to be "Catholic" ones. As the father finely interpreted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan hires a Jewish priest to free his daughter from the callous curse and he'll stop at nothing to get it. Nice main cast : Natasha Callis , Jeffrey Dean Morgan , Kyra Sedgwick are pretty good . Along with enjoyable support cast , such as : Madison Davenport , Matisyahu , Rob LaBelle , Jay Brezau and Grant Show.
It displays a thrilling and suspenseful musical score by Anton Sanko. Likewise, appropriate and atmospheric cinematography by Dan Laustsen. The motion picture was professionally directed by Ole Bornedal . He is good craftsman who has directed a few films , such as : Nightwatch 1994, and its American rendition : Nightwatch 1999, Dina, The Substitute and TV series as 1984, among others. Rating : 6/10. Acceptable horror movie, neither extraordinary, not notable, but passable. The flick will allpeal to Horror genre enthusiasts.
