AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

jonathanruano Despite the good looking production values, "Possession" is really another take on a romance novel spiced up with some supernatural and thriller elements which both come straight off the assembly line. Ditsy beauty Sarah Michelle Gellar (playing Jessica) has the perfect marriage with Ryan (Michael Landes), but what she really wants is to have sex with bad boy Roman (Lee Pace). That's why Gellar looks scared and turned on at the same time when Roman is around. Then by the wildest of coincidences, two car accidents occur on what appears to be the scenic San Francisco Bridge. And you guessed it: Ryan conveniently stays in a coma, but bad boy Roman emerges from the coma and claims to be Jessica's husband. Now all Jessica had to really do was to point out the obvious to Roman: he does not look like Jessica's husband Ryan at all. But if that happened, then Jessica would never have the opportunity to have sex with Roman and the rest of the film would have been unnecessary. So Jessica convinces herself that Roman is possessed by the spirit of Ryan and has the best sex ever. Then comes the twist which shatters all of Jessica's delusions. At this point, Jessica must disavow Roman altogether or else admit that she really does like to have adultery. Then comes the predictable confrontation. Jessica re-establishes herself unconvincingly as the good girl who would never dream of having sex with a bad boy by telling Roman that she only slept with him because she thought he was someone else. Yeah sure!So if you are interested in romance novels with bad boys in them, you may like this film. But if you want a film which is not straight off the assembly line and has multi-layered, intelligent, and evolving characters who do and say interesting things in exciting situations, then give "Possession" a pass.

bowmanblue Sorry, Sarah, but, since your 'Buffy days,' your film career has hardly been glittering. What we have here is a short - and pretty empty - horror/thriller. If you believe the marketing on the poster, the people who made it have something to do with both The Grudge and The Ring. I can assure you... it's not even nearly as good as either of them.In my opinion, it has two major problems: the first is that it's rushed. It's only eighty minutes long and everything has to happen really quickly to fit it all in. Buffy is now married to 'nice brother,' but 'nasty brother' is generally hanging around with them. Then, one fateful day, nice brother and nasty brother accidentally crash their cars into each other (yeah, seriously), leaving them both fighting for life side by side in their hospital beds.Then, nasty brother wakes up, only he claims to be nice brother. And now we have our film. Only we don't. Seeing as it's nice brother in nasty brother, he behaves very well and doesn't do anything nasty. So... who's really in there? Nice brother, or nasty brother? Um, do we care? He's nice, so there's absolutely no real sense of danger or dramatic tension (my second fault with the film).If you're a Buffy/Sarah fan like me, you'll probably agree that she's the best bit. She does her best, but the script is lame and she could do with either having to fight someone, or be chased by something (ala The Grudge).Sadly, Possession offers nothing you haven't seen before, only better. Stick to the Grudge or the Ring. Like I say... sorry, Sarah.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

golightly24 It's not even a thriller! This is just a suspense/drama film. The concept is better than the execution. Pace is the best thing about the film, but even he struggles with a role that isn't written with any real depth. How is he in love with the protagonist if he just got out of jail? Because she took his case? SMG's character is poorly developed and the whole relationship triangle seems poorly developed, with confusing time-lines to boot. However, I do agree with the reviewer above who says that the US DVD version's alternate ending works better. It is more intriguing in terms of what both characters appear to know about themselves and each other. How long will Roman be able to hold it together with his change of mindset? Why does SMG's character decide to take such risks? Did she learn to love him for real, or is she just mourning her husband? Anyway, the alternate ending was more satisfying by far than the hackneyed ending of the actual release, which really makes no sense, and appears slapped together. The thought that Ryan's neurologist is evidently also an obstetrician, as suggested in one of the closing scenes, is laughable, for instance. Only die-hard SMG and Pace fans. I can't remember the time when I've seen a movie with such a markedly different alternate ending where where the alternate was so much better than the released film. will find much to savor here.

Gordon-11 This film is about a woman whose husband and her brother in law were injured in a serious car crash. After her brother in law regains consciousness, he believes that he is his brother."Possession" has an interesting plot which keeps you interested and guessing throughout. The mystery is preserved to the very end. Though the acting is not outstanding, the plot makes up for it. The ending is a little weird, as there are scenes which seems to contradict the ending that is suggested.If the ending is clearer and more focused, then "Possession" would have been even better.
