Voodoo Possession

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

Actually maybe just don't watch at all. Even if possessed. I have seen worse movies than this, but that doesn't make this any better or worth while. Even an expanded role for Danny Trejo does not help the movie at all. He's is seen in bits that "explain" the why ... sort of. Not that it matters or you'd care.

The acting isn't really good, though the characters do not really have that much flesh to them to make them rich. The effects are OK though, especially considering the small budget the movie probably has. If you have a heart for that, you might be inclined to like this a bit more. Otherwise as stated: watch something else instead

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.

Granted, I am not overly into the rituals, myths and mysteries of voodoo. But still, I am finding it rather interesting. And having read the synopsis for the movie, I decided to give this a go. With Danny Trejo on the cast list, it couldn't be all bad.

I found this movie to be a mess, to be frank. The storyline was really jumpy and was basically everywhere and nowhere at the same time. As such, then the movie as a whole turned out to be less than enjoyable. Especially because the audience sit there without really knowing what is what and being unable to find a red thread throughout most of the movie.

"Voodoo Possession" doesn't make use of million dollar effects, but still, they pulled off the movie nicely enough. Whatever effects were there, were used nicely and served their purpose well enough.

As for the acting, well people were doing good enough jobs. Just a shame that Danny Trejo didn't have a bigger role in the movie. Aside from him, then I can't really claim to be familiar with anyone there. And it is nice to see a movie with all new faces from time to time.

I didn't particularly enjoy this movie, so it is a mere 3 out of 10 stars from me.

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.
