About
If you want a possession story with eerie atmosphere and a Jewish-flavored take on exorcism, The Possession may fit; Not for you if you need nonstop scares or crave something more original than Ouija or The Haunting in Connecticut.
Pros: strong cast; scary moments; creepy box premise | Cons: slow pacing; predictable beats; hit-or-miss acting
