When science is defeated by the supernatural, drastic shift of psychological behavior is rashly justified on upsetting circumstances in play, it settles in as a film touching base on something believable. Typical scenarios that capture real drama amidst unexplained phenomena - never going too far, keeping the plot coherent, relatively makes the film tolerable to laudable. It is only rational its chilling appeal is the apparition of a true story.
A bothering recall of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), The Possession was a new experience for Russovoir because there were elements, concepts, and the wherewithal of fear that had never been done by other horror films, let alone exorcism films. Of course, put into mind, this is only limited to Russovoir's concern.

Visual effects-wise, Sam Raimi doesn't disappoint. It was unforgiving in face-distorting, body-twitching graphics. Besides what is superficially perceived - it's an exorcism, essentially - The Possession is a touching story of a father, who however is legally restricted to see his children for accusations of the inexplicable sort, did what any loving father would do: get to the bottom of what is killing her daughter from the inside. "Take me instead!", as the most possessing of a plea notwithstanding, the film was al-writhe.
