Reviews

The Possession of Hannah Grace has received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences alike. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a mere 21% rating, indicating that only a small fraction of critics found merit in its execution. The audience score on IMDb reflects a slightly more forgiving view, sitting at 5.2/10. Critics have commented on the film's lack of originality, with one review from The Hollywood Reporter stating, 'It too often falls into familiar horror tropes that make it feel derivative.' Metacritic's rating of 37/100 underscores the general consensus that the film has not resonated well within the horror genre. However, praise has been directed towards Shay Mitchell's performance, with IndieWire noting, 'Her portrayal of Megan brings an emotional depth that the plot fails to uphold.' While some viewers may enjoy the film’s atmospheric tension and jump scares, many agree that it struggles to leave a lasting impression in the competitive landscape of horror cinema.
