Director : Ole Bornedal
Running Time : 93 mins
Divorcee Clyde (Morgan) has divorced from his wife Stephanie (Sedgwick), and their two girls Hannah (Davenport) and Emily (Calis) live with the mother, visiting Clyde on the weekends. One weekend, the three stop at a yard sale where Emily buys an antique carved box. Becoming obsessively protective of the box, Emily finally finds a way to open the lock and unwittingly releases an evil spirit that takes over her body and her behaviour starts to concern her father, but no one will listen to his suspicions.
Em’s ‘unusual behaviour’ is completely beyond the realm of having a problem and way into the area of your daughter being a devil child. Her lack of reaction to a room filled with bugs and her lashing out with a fork at her father for no apparent reason all spell possession to me, but useless Sedgwick doesn’t want a hear about it. Surely she would have listened to her other daughter even if she didn’t want to listen to her ex-husband. There seem to have been an awful lot of these child possession movies in recent years – I can remember when The Exorcist was an original idea – but as far as possession movies go, this is one of the better efforts, thanks in part to Morgan’s intriguing performance and no thanks in part to Sedgwick’s ridiculously hammy carrying on.
