THE POSSESSION, PG-13 ( 1 hr & 31 min )

-

Quickie Review:  Gollum is back, but in female form and on Outer Earth this time around, and still in search of "My Precious ...."

A man buys an odd antique box at a yard sale for one of his two daughters, not knowing that it contains a Dybbuk, a spirit that seeks to inhabit a human body in order to fulfill a task.

I went to see this movie today, Friday, August 31st, 2012, after work, at the Century 14 Vallejo here in Vallejo, CA, for the 11:55 a.m. matinee show in auditorium 13, 5th row, 8ht column.

Three teenage guys sitting behind me seemed to enjoy this movie, with one of them clapping his hands whenever a bad thing happened on-screen.

This movie was not really scary to me. Its scariest scenes were probably the "Midnight Snack" scene and the "Hospital Morgue" scene. And it had a very predictable ending! This might make for a good scary movie with some cheap scares for you and your date to while the time away. Or you could wait for this movie to come out as a rental.

This movie is supposedly based on a "True Story" ( not a marketing gimmick ) which makes for a very interesting read! You can read about the story which was posted back on the 21st of May, 2012, at: www.rhinoshorror.com/2012/05/21/the-possession-and-its-true-story/

P.S. I was gonna Copy and Paste the whole story here. But it wouldn't be fair to the person who took the time to investigate the "real" story and write about it. So, please go and visit his site, if you want to know the "True Story".
