Cadáver

I got this movie recommended because it was supposedly pretty scary. Well. It started out alright. I love the set / location. The acting is good, and the script is decent.. but how do you manage to make a horror movie so predictable and sadly ruin the scaryness if it.

The main letdowns are here are the use of terrible CGI and sound design. I've never heard a demon that's this bland and boring. Even her kills are boring and repetitive. The main thing though, this movie use CGI instead of practical and it didn't even need CGI... That's the worst part. It's obvious, it's ugly and it shouldn't be, especially in 2018.

So yeah.. it's a slow burn horror, with some decent jumps, good acting and a great location, but that's it for me.

4/10.

Below average. Nothing special. Very cheap effects I believe it had very poor budget. The plot is based on two movies The exorcism of Molly Hartley which was nothing special and The autopsy of Jane Doe which was amazing film and they've created this tragic "horror" movie. Wouldn't recommend it.

If we're being honest, Screen Gems isn't known for churning out the world's best horror movies. Most of them feel undercooked to the point of tedium or, even worse, neutered to hell and back. The Possession of Hannah Grace falls somewhere in the middle. It's neither a total disaster nor a rare triumph for the studio a la The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Hannah Grace keeps things nicely subtle for the first half hour of its run time with creaking doors, motion-sensored lights lights going on and off, and strange bumps in the night. It loses something when it starts turning into an Asian ghost story-inspired contortionist fest.

Shay Mitchell is a likable enough heroine even though her backstory seems shoehorned in and a bit awkward. The film is never truly scary, but it speeds along at a nice enough clip so that you don't feel like you're wasting too much of your time.

It could be better, but knowing Screen Gems, it could have been a lot worse. The R rating seems almost like an afterthought since none of the deaths in the film are what one would call gory besides a grisly opening sequence and, although, the titular character spends most of her screen time completely nude, she's usually bathed in shadows to keep from seeing any real nudity.

This movie isn't the worst suspense/horror movie of the year, but it certainly isn't the greatest either. Shay Mitchell saves this movie from being utter trash. It's a pleasant surprise seeing her act in this genre and she does a good job. This movie has a couple of good scare scenes along with a simple and predictable story line. Ultimately, watch this movie and judge for yourselves but don't go in expecting The Shining or anything.

My review for Possession of Hannah Grace: It has all the stuff you'd expect from a possession movie. Jump scares, suspense, great story, gore. And leaves an opening for a sequel. Overall I give it a 7 out of 10.
