Review – Grace: The Possession

Exorcism movies are notorious for having little to no sympathy for the victims of demonic possession. So I thought perhaps a movie shot almost entirely from the point of view of a woman trying to fight off a bad case of evil spirits might be an exception. Well, kinda. Predictably, strict adherence to the POV format imposes some limitations on the storytelling. Nor is it clear whose perspective we’re getting. Has the audience become the protagonist? The demon inside her? Somehow neutrally observing from inside her head? The story’s cohesive enough to get where it’s going, but I was genuinely disappointed by the lack of effort to really show what the experience would be like (beyond “full of rug-yanking hallucinations”). Mildly amusing
