Critics Consensus

The Possession of Hannah Grace feints at real horror just often enough to offer hints of the movie it should have been -- and further frustrate viewers seeking a good scare.

There isn't much more to say. They try early on, a little bit...then they just give up and make a movie where someone walks around in a hallway.

Rated: D+

There are a few jumps and bumps, but there's no real sense of dread, unease or questioning. We simply watch the events unfold with a full understanding of what's going on.

Rated: 2/5

Austin Chronicle

The Possession of Hannah Grace isn't the kind of bad movie that warrants midnight screenings and rowdy crowds; it's the kind of bad movie that quietly fades from memory, leaving the world no better and no worse than if it had never existed to begin with.

Rated: 1/5

[It] has enough going for it to deserve better than being awkwardly sold as part of another subgenre.

The Possession of Hannah Grace is a colorless, charm-less slog that is content in its laziness, a crime much worse than being a bad movie.

I can comfortably say that The Possession of Hannah Grace is one of the worst horror movies I’ve seen in a long time—it's not even in the same league as Thankskilling 3. The plot is painfully simple, and at times, the CGI is hard to watch. With such a straightforward storyline, I found myself bored, as only the last 20 minutes of the film truly deliver any horror, which feels like a stretch. The acting is the best part, especially from the main cast, but the film fails to handle the subject of PTSD realistically, overly dramatizing it in a way that doesn’t resonate. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.

I enjoyed it. It was a unique angle on a possession story. I liked the atmospheric slow build. They could have done more with the environment but I wasn't too upset. Honestly the lack of chemistry/energy between the characters was the biggest drawback.

Fairly decent movie, simple plot, well acted, the cinematography was excellent. Some of the CGI was less than desired, but overall, a little better than some of the the usual demonic possession type films out there.

Dort passiert eine Reihe von schrecklichen Dingen. Diese Dinge kommen von einer schrecklichen Leiche … Ein anständiger Gruselfilm, der jedoch sehr unoriginell ist.

Well acted, lighting and cinematography were good, but it’s a slow build to no where that leaves you rolling your eyes at the all to obvious underlying themes. It deals with PTSD, addiction, and personal growth in a way that feels like being beaten with a baseball bat covered in foam…. A slow, torturous slog.

Such a linear story which left nothing to the imagination. Don't bother.
