Possession Diaries

The story is a stereotypical paranormal tale combined with classic demonic possession. Told from a video diary point-of-view, sporadically the film jumps to the more conventional third person. It seems to be at the descretion of the director. More likely an attempt to break up the monotony of the faux found footage moments. I actually liked it, it gave a bit more credence to the horror elements.

As for character development and acting, "The Possession Diaries" misses the mark on both accounts. The lead seems as sterile and devoid of emotion as a robot, both in jester and inflection. The performance came off as a bad audition tape. The other characters were barely visible bit players, save the priest. His character had the potential to really sell this low budget nightmare. Unfortunately it just never happened. All except the last scenes. It was impactful, dark, emotionally chilling and I felt it totally!

Special effects are the typical paranormal activity tricks, screeching spooky sounds, stuff moving and shadowy surroundings. There is some moments it works nicely but a lot of the stuff is pre-2000 gamer CGI stuff. The possession portrayal was mediocre at best, mostly just comical- not in the good way. Everything seen and heard in "The Possession Diaries" is base material already overdone in this subgenre. Overall the film isn't anything to rush to experience, but maybe a free flick on Redbox or Vudu, and a little time to waste.

I've seen some stupid movies, but this one tops it.

I won't even go into detail about the time I'll never get back. Just trust me when I say, don't waste your time.

1. Playing a Carpenter's record backwards 2. Throwing out expired milk 3. Overdue library books 4. Crabgrass 5. Forgetting your customer loyalty card at the checkout 6. Wally Cox 7. Seeing that you're down to 1 refill on your prescription 8. Chipmunks

This movie (and i do really hate to even call it that!) is so bad that i would not recommend it even on a night where nothing else is on or if someone offered to pay you to watch it! You would actually be better off staring at a wall with paint drying on it then watching this abomination! NO i am not joking or just being critical of it. I will admit i found myself laughing out loud at the script and oh so terrible acting so at least it served as some humor for me. The person that rated this a 10 has to either be a relative of the writer or on some serious drugs!

I didn't even get to far into this movie yet and it so bad the only thing scary in this movie is the bad acting and editing I can tell you not to watch this movie but I would recommend not wasting your time on this if I could give this a 0 rating I really would or even a -1😭😭 please don't watch if you don't wanna waste your time. I've seen soooo many "scary" movies in my life that where really bad but this one would definitely make it to the top of the list number one lol I've never seen a movie this bad before. And whats really sad is the people let this movie happen and let this movie come out.
