Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly 03/04/2016
B-
Krause's deadpan wit, coupled with the inspired scenes at Spirit Possessions Anoymous, make Ava's Possessions a fun, fresh take on a genre staple. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 03/03/2016
A goofy horror movie with little to say and not a lot to see, "Ava's Possessions" sacrifices scares in favor of a rambling addiction metaphor that never finds an emotional rhythm. Go to Full Review

Ava's Possessions is a unique film and worth a look for horror fans. A clever twist on the possession narrative, it illustrates that not every exorcism movie has to follow the same arc. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 04/03/2016
It veers into conventional horror and feel-good territory, gradually losing its edge. Go to Full Review

May 13 Aww, such an original idea- and Awesome- but the movie left almost ALL the meat on the plate. This ended up being a glorified episode of Buffy. There were SO many funny things you could've done. I didn't hate it and it's getting a 3 just for the idea of it- but boy did it just kind of end up being Meh. I hope another person takes the idea and runs with it cause this one didn't do much. See more ed t 05/22/2022 Great premise. Wasn't very funny. Wasn't horrifying. I lost interest. Turned it off midway which is very rare for me. See more 05/28/2021 It was hilarious and great to see Carol Kane again. It tipped a bit feminist agenda again. Oh well. See more farah r @Farah 12/25/2020 It's an interesting take on demon possession that fails due to bad execution. See more 11/04/2019 A cool, unique spin on a tired genre. It's funny, high concept and I wish we could get more fresh takes on possession movies like this. See more 04/11/2018 More of a thriller than the traditional possession movies. The premise is a girl going to demon possession AA, and is kind of an allegory for addiction. Not really a comedy but much “lighter” than I expected and a good Netflix stream.
