The Possession has been criticized for its interest in jump scares instead of a good story. The story follows a family as they deal with a cursed antique box. Sadly, the film does not pitch anything different or engage new spectrums. The characters were not well-developed, and the narrative leans upon tired horror cliches. The film, however, inventive and picturesque, ends up not sticking in your mind and just fades into more jump-scare enjoyment.
