Voodoo Possession

I had low expectations for this movie and not even those were met! It was definitely one of the worst scary movies the I've ever seen, if u can even call it a scary movie!!

The acting wasn't terrible but I definitely wouldn't say it was great. There is not attachment to the characters created, I can't even remember the names of any of them. So I couldn't care less when any of them were killed. And the so called monster was more like a giant cockroach so unless you are afraid of bugs it's not scary at all.

The so called special effects were horrible and clearly low budget, especially the terrible stabbing scenes that were so unrealistic and left a lot to be desired. The music choices failed to create any suspense or even evoke the slightest bit of emotion.

It was difficult to be scared of any of the possessed characters in this movie, each time they came on screen they made us laugh rather than create any terror.

Overall the storyline was a bit hazy and hard to follow as it kept jumping in and out of different worlds, this was also hard to follow as the movie failed to hold my attention.

This movie was missing a "falk in the road'

Well if you are looking for a cool Horror film, then look else where, as Voodoo Possession adds nothing new to the genre, and is not any way a scary or thrilling movie. First of, i hate how these movies try to make attractive posters that has nothing to do with the film, the poster you see here on IMDb is quite misleading and looks cool, which is not the case with movie itself. Also using big names to market a film is a cheap thing to do, here they managed to pull Danny Trejo to appear in brief scenes, which add nothing to the movie as a whole.

The Plot : it follows a young guy WHO travels to Hiati to investigate the disappearance of his Doc brother who was trying to use Voodoo to help heal mental illness, the older brother is helped by his girlfriend who is a journalist and gathers up a crew to accompany the older brother to help find out what happened to his younger Doc brother, once arriving in Hiati and into the mental hospital, creepy things start happening and the movie starts to dig in deep into Psychology and family dynamics which was more of boring drama than Horror.

The worst thing about the film is the acting, most are complete amateurs, very poor acting that one can tell that these are actors. Even Trejo seemed out of it. Some actors actually show their excitements in being in a movie, total lack of professionalism.

The other parts of the movie making was all amateur work, poor direction and camera work, awful soundtrack and score, poor audio editing. The movie screams low budget. And i don't have anything against low budget films, i had my share of watching some and they still managed to offer something good, but this one is truly awful.

I can understand the effort and the desire to make this movie from the people behind, but they lack big time in producing something that looks cool and professional. If id make movie like this, i wouldn't want people to pay to watch it, maybe just post it for free on the internet. In short, total amateur work here, low budget film that lacks in all areas with cheap marketing strategies, not scary at all, avoid it.

What a waste of time! These writers did not research anything that had to do with voodoo. Or possession! Don't waste your time. The only thing that could have helped this movie get a 2 rating would be gratuitous nudity. And it had none hahaha.

Review: I was expecting this movie to be full of zombies with a totally terrible storyline, but it actually wasn't that bad. The acting was pretty bad and Trejo was only in a couple of scenes, after they had plastered him all over the poster, but the film is watchable, for a low budget independent movie. The monster near the end looked completely ridiculous, but I got the whole Haiti Voodoo magic concept which wasn't badly written. Don't get me wrong, it is pretty corny, but the reason why it is watchable is because there is some sense in what the brother is trying to do. Basically he is trying to find his brother who has passed over to the evil spirit world and he has to fight demons and his sketchy past. It's not the best storyline but I have seen worse. Anyway, if you want a movie t watch in the background then this isn't bad but it's definitely not to be taken seriously. Watchable! 

Round-Up: I hired this movie thinking that Danny Trejo was going to be in it, but he's only in a couple of scenes. Most of the movies that I hire with Trejo on the front cover is a total distribution ploy to get you to hire the movie because he is usually is the best thing in it. Its not because he is a brilliant actor, its basically because he usually kicks butt and his movies are so bad that they actually become funny. Apart from that, I haven't heard of any of the actors before so I can't really comment on there previous work or there careers. I personally don't think that I will see the actors again because they weren't that amazing. 

I recommend this movie to people who are into there voodoo type movies about a guy trying to find his brother who is tramped in the evil spirit world. 2/10

Hmm, "Voodoo Possession" wanted to be quite the movie I'll tell yea! The plot was better than most, and you can tell a serious effort was put into this one, possibly, it's the budget that killed it. Can't believe I'm saying this, but, a bigger budget in this case could have translated into a good movie.

So, what exactly will you be into? Well, overall OK acting, good plot, nice characters, but it couldn't really spread its wings at other chapters, like effects, jumps or even a nice built tension coming from the audio part. So overall I gave it a 5, cause it really seemed to have tried, but cause of the lack of money, failed to deliver more. I mean, even the set, considering you can't afford much, they found something quite OK and they manage to make the most of it.

Of course, a movie like "Voodoo Possession" is not something I would normally recommend, unless you wanna throw an eye on the indie section, if you want more, then try "Extracted", has somewhat the same plot, not a horror tho, but one great movie.

Voodoo Possession, made a hard start for itself beginning with the name. Shame too, the idea wasn't all that bad.
