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

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.

If you've seen "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" with Emile Hirsch and liked it, then give this a view. Both movies have similar vibes. I enjoyed both movies.

Claro, aquí tienes la versión ajustada: It's an entertaining movie and doesn't make the big mistake of lasting two and a half hours to tell a story that could easily be explained in 90 minutes. As a horror film, it's a complete failure, but as easy-to-digest entertainment to watch with a partner, it's recommendable.

Some bits were a bit over the top, but that's to be expected in a possession horror. The atmosphere of isolation combined with the jump scares nicely. I always try to wait til the end of the run and go first thing on a Sunday, so I get the theater as near to myself as possible; this movie made me regret that decision. Not the best, sure, but in no way the worst.

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.
