The Trailer

The Review

This is a rather interesting movie that combines both horror and thriller.

At times mixing and balancing both genres can be disastrous but ‘Possessed’ has excellent direction.

Watching this film, there’s always an eerie scare feeling that lingers.

From weirdos, to religious nuts, the film doesn’t come short in the shock-factor. So be prepared.

The Good

• Excellent directing, crisp scenes

The Bad

• Slow first half
• Too few blood and gore
