Jewish demons, thousands of moths, and 100-year-old teeth sure make for an interesting storyline in the recent horror film “The Possession.” On a cloudy Saturday afternoon, a friend and I decided to head over to Movies 12 to catch this new release. As a horror-film fanatic, I was rather excited to see this one. With recent horror movies such as “The Devil Inside” and “Paranormal Activity 3” not making the top of my list, I had high hopes for “The Possession.”
Based on a true story, the movie follows a young girl named Em and her family: her father Clyde, mother Stephanie, and older sister Hannah. Set during the winter in upstate New York, the cold, cloudy weather and depressing storyline really sets the tone throughout the movie. With her parents recently divorced, Em and Hannah stay with their mother throughout the weekdays and with their father on the weekends.
