Thoughts: Yeah, yeah, I know that you’re tired of spooky possession movies (see the trailers for Sinister and The Apparition).  To some extent, I am too and yet I find myself looking forward to these scare-fests as the fall rolls around.  Arriving right at the end of the summer months, The Possession has a strong producer credit going for it which does catch my interest.  That credit is Sam Raimi and if the guy that made The Evil Dead and Drag Me to Hell is involved…consider me on board.  Another strong selling point is director Ole Bornedal, a Danish director who has never quite caught on in the US though he delivered the spooky Nightwatch in 1994 and it’s US remake in 1997.
