The Possession (I) (2012)
7/10
Good Movie for $5 Movie Day at Regal Cinemas
1 September 2012
Today, I decided to give this movie a shot, whilst coming into the theater with low expectations (and I mean low). Lately, horror movies have been following this "lost footage" trend where it was widely successful in the original Paranormal Activity. But this movie comes out strong and authentic with the classic "Exorcism-type theme".

What's interesting about this movie is it bares off into Judaism setting it apart from all the other possession movies which are mainly based on Christianity.

The movie really brings out new things I haven't seen before. The acting was well done, and the characters were very persuasive (especially with the young girls). The special effects and CGI was anything but cheesy and many scenes had made the entire audience jump!

Great for a $5 movie day at your local Regal Cinema theater as for I wouldn't recommend seeing it for full price. Of course, for me to actually recommend a movie at full price is very demanding as it must be an "over-the-top-astonishing" movie (Ex. The Avengers, Dark Night Rises).

Summary: -Overall: 4/5 -Scary: 3.5/5 -Acting: 4/5 -CUFC (Content Unadvisable for Children) 1/5 Recommendation: GO! OVERALL SCORE/100: 73%
