Scott Weinberg FEARnet Possessed is no sort of slam-bang horror flick -- but it is a rather smoothly satisfying occult thriller all the same. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Kathleen C I'm only on episode 5. But I already love it. It's scary, funny, romantic and scary. Did I already say scary? I love K dramas because of the great stories and actors. This is no exception. I'm in for the long haul! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow burn creepy, possession story! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great movie. A lot is left to interpretation so if that's not your thing then you won't be a fan of this. There is a lot to consider in this movie. Was the younger sister possessed by a bad demon or a good spirit? When the shamanists pray to it at first they're blessed with good fortune (woman ridding herself of cancer). But when they get greedy and push the matter it leads to all of their deaths. Then, was Hee-jin possessed as well? Did that demon/spirit enter the older child after the younger one had died? It appears so during the scene with the detective where she repeats the words of his sick/dying daughter. Then there are questions... what saved the detectives daughter? Was it the crane? In asian culture the crane represents purity. Was it looking out for Hoo-jin during its first appearance in the buildings play area? And then, if the mother was simply waiting for her older daughter to arrive (which would awaken her younger daughter) why did she go through the whole routine of saying the younger daughter went missing? And lastly, was Hoo-jin able to see/hear from people after they died because the spirit was coming in her next? The movie is still great even with it being open to interpretation. There are strong religious beliefs in this movie, opposing each other. For example the christian mother thought her daughter was a saviour. The shamanists thought she was a spirit. The atheist (?) Hoo-jin simply felt as though her sister was sick. 3 very different opinions. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It should be entitled "The Ajumma Cult". Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of slow but also captivating and wanting to find out what happened. But nothing scary or anything about the movie and the acting is a bit ordinary. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the scariest films I have seen in a long, long time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
