Jess (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Ryan (Michael Landes) seem to have a perfect life, marred only by the presence of Ryan's thuggish brother, Roman (Lee Pace). After the two brothers are involved in a terrible car crash, Roman awakes from his coma first and claims to be Ryan. Though she is skeptical at first, Jess begins to believe that her husband really is trapped in his brother's body.

Nothing ever stands out as the plot and characters are predictable and generic. While never aggressively bad, it just is not worth the time.

Rated: 5/10

A stillborn chiller and an awfully silly picture, boasting screamingly inept performances and preoccupied direction that spends more time seeking out the perfect camera angle than tightening the story to appropriate nail-biting levels of suspense.

Rated: D

Possession is an intense and well-acted suspenseful thriller that could've been way better if it was executed properly.

Love Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lee Pace together, and also the Ghost Whisperer feel to it. Why is it moving so slowly??

Not the horror flick that I was expecting. And not nearly as bad as I had anticipated either- which doesn't by any stretch mean that it was actually good.
