The Possession of Hannah Grace

The Possession Of Hannah Grace

Overall I liked this movie, it just was not as exciting as you would think an exorcism movie should be.  The main character Megan works the graveyard shift in a Morgue that looks a lot like the same set of The final scenes of "The Cabin in the Woods" a movie I absolutely loved but that's a whole other conversation.


Megan is 60 days sober and is on a mission to prove herself, hence when she starts seeing shadows and noticing the body healing itself or moving she try's to ignore it to get through her work shift because people already think she has problems. Her friend and sponsor Lisa works in the hospital above the morgue and when she finds a bottle of pills is quick to believe Megan is just having a relapse and writes off everything she claims is happening. Obviously upset that after hooking her friend up with this job she is blowing it. But it seems in this movie all the non believers get theirs in the end. Which leads me to my main question in this movie is why does the Possessed corpse of Hannah Grace never kill Megan when it seems to take everyone else in the movie out? Maybe it sees Megan as a new host? Something that never gets answered in the movie
The first time her beliefs are confirmed is when she gives the fingerprints of the dead girl, Hannah Grace, to her Cop Ex boyfriend Andrew. He informs hers this body has been dead for three months. It becomes clear the body is killing people to regenerate itself somehow and heal. Not the biggest plot twist I have ever heard. Although I somewhat liked this movie and would probably watch it again if you really want to be impressed just watch "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" which is pretty much the same concept of this movie but executed brilliantly.


On a side note one thing I would like to applaud the actual creepy parts of the movie which was the fact that the actress that plays Hannah Grace is a real life ballerina/contortionist so no CGI was used when she was crawling all grudge like across the halls. Also the fact that every light down in the morgue are motion censored and would turn on randomly to indicate someone or something was moving around. Besides these things there was no other real fear factors in this film.
