Possession Of Hannah Grace tries to build tension but resolves to work with low-budget thrills, whose story is derivative and trivial. The plot focuses on a police officer turned mortuary attendant, who is faced with an eerily mysterious situation that a corpse is possessed by a demon. Poor culture-building, coupled with a formulaic story, gives this movie more of a sense of decolored mediocrity, and its exaggerated reliance on jumpscare makes it feel lazy and unoriginal.
