A former policewoman encounters the supernatural while working a nightshift at a morgue.
Director Diederik van Rooije offers a clinical atmospheric setting for an intriguing series of scares that works due to likable Shay Mitchell as Megan. Often overlooked is notable Kirby Johnson as Hannah the Cadave.
Writer Brain Siev’s story would have worked better without the on screen possession shinanagans as its been done so many times. The practical effects of creepy dead bodies, glimps, flashes and video footage work better thanks to the eerie location and great production vaules. While excellently filmed and staged, it would have been better without the in your face setups, that seem to be synonymous with the these type of films recently. Rooije’s delivery is impressive but less would have been more.
With a pile of sound and visual jump scares, due Rooije’s visual flare and thanks to Mitchell performance The Possession of Hannah Grace far more watchable than it should be.
