Possession (I) (2012) User Reviews

Had its moments....

[nightwatch4773 · 5/10 · 1 March 2013]

The two major problems I had with this film were #1 could they have thought of a better title to call this movie and #2 I could barely understand a word they were saying. Possession the title has been used to death and I believe this was the third time a film was called possession in the last year. Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in one and another called the Possession that was recently in the theatre. Come on call it something different. Now this is a German film and the actors are all speaking in English with an ascent that is very difficult to understand and the DVD has no subtitles at all. Horrible!!!!! So from what I could make out I did sort of enjoy this film focusing around Five characters that off each other one by one. Creepy settings and gory deaths make this one memorable to say the least. Clocked in at around 70 minutes as well, it's tightly put together but again I could only understand about 50% of the film.

A pretty fun slasher

This movie makes it really clear that director Ralf Kemper is a big fan of the '80s slasher genre. It's got a lot of the common horror tropes, but it also adds some different technological twists and honest to god terrifying scenes that I really wasn't expecting.

Basically, this group of people go into the woods, find an abandoned bunker, and suprise! There's a demon in there that wants to possess them (I didn't tag this spoilers bc the movie is literally called "Possession").

This is a foreign made film-the actors are all German, but they all speak English. For the most part they are pretty easy to understand but there are a couple bits that I would have appreciated subtitles.

Save for a few scenes that will legitimately give me nightmares, this movie was a lot of fun and I don't regret watching it.
