This is one of the most original movies i have seen recently.
Creative and brilliant.
It's difficult to categorize it. Indie/art horror with offbeat comedy elements, also having the structure of a crime/mystery movie, without taking itself too seriously.
The ending could have been better, but it's not bad.
This could be a great series. There are many interesting ideas here which are not being explored or exploited, and that would be an impossible thing in 90 minutes.
In any case, if you are looking for a weird, original and pretty interesting movie, this is it.

About 20 minutes in I had to check that I wasn't watching a series pilot. AVA'S POSSESSION doesn't really take off like a movie should. The back-story is a mismatch of flash-backs and hints from the family that don't accelerate the plot much. I realise I'm supposed to suspend disbelief a bit more than usual due to the genre, but the alternate world, where possession is relatively common, wasn't as fleshed out as I thought it should be.
That aside, it is funny in parts, and watchable in a very predictable and cliched way. Overall: a bit flat, a bit lazy and nothing to get excited about.

This movie is not a comedy but I liked it! This put a less scary twist on possession with a different take on the story line! It would of been cool if there was a little more to the effects but for a B class movie - not bad! I would put this in the casual viewing category for myself but definitely a good choice to add to your watchlist. Giving a 6 for thinking outside the box and watch worthy~
Overall this was a fun movie, with good acting, and some neat effects. The story has some ok twists, but I was hoping they'd be a little better to really pull it all together.
I felt like they didn't do quite enough with the main story or the main sub-plot with her ex-possessed friend, but they did some fun stuff with both and I had a good time watching it. The particular flavor of dark humor seemed not to land well with some of the reviewers, but I liked it.
They have a few scenes with some neat filming effects as well, twisting the camera into unique angles.

Normally, a possession movie ends with the victim baths in sunlight or in some cases wanders into the dark. In "Ava's Possessions" it's just the beginning as the priest commences the procedure along with opening credit. There's quite the idea here, comically displays the aftereffect of the unfortunate event, but it becomes too busy with overload of subplots, colors and eventually too plodding for its own good.
It begins right after the exorcism, a young girl must face the consequences of her actions, even though she is not responsible for them. Soon she joins a support group filled with equally outlandish characters. This is a good quirky premise, it even includes actual collateral of damage to property as well as a couple of comical antics.
Mystery or horror aspect is not entirely prevalent as it dabbles more on world affairs. Most of the time is spend dealing with real life problem and threats, although it plays with the theme to make it as though there's more than what it seems. Nevertheless, it doesn't peak more than a few shock value.
The use of satire is sometimes decent, but it tries to make connection from possession to real life problems. These analogies might be appealing at first, yet it repeats itself too much. Furthermore, the design for costumes and setting is heavily colored, which can be distracting at times. Acting from the cast is not bad, but there are too many characters to distribute the focus evenly.
It's a nice twist on the genre, the mix of thriller and occasional satire might work as well, but it tries to fit too much into overwhelming and messy presentation.
