This is a pretty good gag. The film starts where most possession tales end, after the possessed is freed from the demon and goes on some strange, twisted turns. Not all of them are that good and the ending tries to make sense against all odds but the whole thing is a nice ride.

Great premise. Wasn't very funny. Wasn't horrifying. I lost interest. Turned it off midway which is very rare for me.

It was hilarious and great to see Carol Kane again. It tipped a bit feminist agenda again. Oh well.

It's an interesting take on demon possession that fails due to bad execution.

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.

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.

Entertainment Weekly

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.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

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.

Jordan Galland's Ava's Possessions begins where most demonic-possession movies end.

The Last Thing I See

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.

Rated: B

It veers into conventional horror and feel-good territory, gradually losing its edge.
