Doesn't bring anything new to its very tired genre. Read full review

Viewers hooked on the spectacle of demonic possession tend to like their satanic tropes served neat. The Possession of Hannah Grace serves them sloppy, if not without a certain random soupçon of grisly style. Read full review

But for all the pondering The Possession of Hannah Grace inspires, it’s also true that at 85 minutes, it still manages to feel tedious at times. The dour environment doesn’t help, the humor doesn’t pop, and disappointingly, the scares just don’t land. Read full review

It’s exorcism’s greatest hits, if exorcism were a band playing 300 casinos and state fairs a year. Read full review

The production design is top drawer. It’s just that if I’m mentioning that, there’s little else in the movie to recommend it. Read full review

It lacks character, it lacks morbidity, it lacks subtext, it lacks suspense. It just kinda lays there like Hannah, but without any of her sinister magic. Read full review

There are undoubtedly filmmakers who could’ve taken that setting and created something genuinely spooky; it’s a shame to see an excellent setting go entirely to waste. Read full review

Teniendo en cuenta lo mediocres y malas que son las películas de este tipo, debo decir que esta me tomó por sorpresa y me gustó bastante pese a que no le tenía fe, la mala crítica puede que tenga razón y la respeto pero a mi pues si me gustó, resulta ser divertida.

Super creepy but rather predictable. A decent plot with some great effects. Not a bad "horror night" flick, just not anything terribly noteworthy.

The movie has a nice sense of direction. The beginning, where main character Megan gets a job working the night shift in the morgue in the basement of a city hospital, is especially well-done. Major exposition and the workings of the hospital is introduced in a quick and natural manner.

The hospital in this is appropriately creepy, a blend of grey concrete blended with cold, sterile white floors.

The possessed body of Hannah Grace is an affective monster. She avoids being being a generic zombie/possesed person by having a distinctive look being partially slashed and burned. Heck she's scary when she's just lying still before she's even doing anything. (I'm actually disappointed they didn't stick with the film's original title of The Cadaver). Contortionist Kirby Johnson really kills it as Hannah, not only in her freaky movements but also in her malevolent facial expressions.

Despite the praise I've just given, there is one big issue wit the film: the second act is just too slow and could've been cut down, which is disappointing given how fluidly it started. The problem is that they have one too many victims and spend a little too much time introducing them and building up to the kills.… Expand

Like, it’s not bad, it’s just one of those movies where as you watch you instantly think of simple things that could have been changed to make it better...

Missing the platform of the characters, bad character building, nice idea though! But not really good writing. Tell dont show was their strategy.

This is a movie about very incompetent lady who fails as a cop, gets PTSD and after chooses to work alone in a morgue from all places. And she is terrible at her new job as well. Also there is some evil entity and poor attempt at acting.
Seriously - big budget does not equal good horror. Avoid.
