SYNOPSIS

A shocking exorcism spirals out of control, claiming the life of a young woman. Months later, morgue worker Megan Reed takes delivery of a disfigured cadaver during the graveyard shift. Locked inside the basement corridors, Megan's horrifying visions soon lead her to believe that the body is possessed by a demonic force.

REVIEW SUMMARY

Get the gurney; this one is dead on arrival! The Possession Of Hannah Grace is a rather lifeless and all too predictable “possession film” that will surely disappoint horror fans. Sure there are some creepy moments (I.E the first time we see the possessed being scurry on all fours like a crab), but after a rather brutal and jarring opener, the scares wear off pretty quickly. The film is also polluted with a batch of useless supporting characters - none of whom I really cared if they lived or died. Actually, I was pulling for a lot of them to die if I'm being honest. And frustratingly enough, there are some hints of interesting plot elements, but the story never goes all in with things. Instead, it becomes a mishmash of all the other exorcism / possession movies we’ve seen over the years – and frankly, they’ve all done it better.
