This movie (and i do really hate to even call it that!) is so bad that i would not recommend it even on a night where nothing else is on or if someone offered to pay you to watch it! You would actually be better off staring at a wall with paint drying on it then watching this abomination! NO i am not joking or just being critical of it. I will admit i found myself laughing out loud at the script and oh so terrible acting so at least it served as some humor for me. The person that rated this a 10 has to either be a relative of the writer or on some serious drugs!

oh goody...

After you watch what is almost a full six minutes of opening credits interspersed with scenes of the most HORRIFIC acting I have ever seen, you are then subjected to another almost two hours of that same blond whiny girl with the flat voice and obviously phony crying and her bedroom. That is, if you're like me and feel like every movie you watch you must watch all the way through....I gotta quit doing that.

terrible terrible terrible

Don't waste your time with this movie. the only thing scary about it was how terrible the actors were. especially the boyfriend. everyone could've died in the movie and it wouldn't have made a difference. total snorefest. I've seen way better low budget movies than this (obviously, this movie has set the bar very very low)

My Review Of "The Possession Diaries"

[ASouthernHorrorFan · 4/10 · 23 June 2019]

The story is a stereotypical paranormal tale combined with classic demonic possession. Told from a video diary point-of-view, sporadically the film jumps to the more conventional third person. It seems to be at the descretion of the director. More likely an attempt to break up the monotony of the faux found footage moments. I actually liked it, it gave a bit more credence to the horror elements.

As for character development and acting, "The Possession Diaries" misses the mark on both accounts. The lead seems as sterile and devoid of emotion as a robot, both in jester and inflection. The performance came off as a bad audition tape. The other characters were barely visible bit players, save the priest. His character had the potential to really sell this low budget nightmare. Unfortunately it just never happened. All except the last scenes. It was impactful, dark, emotionally chilling and I felt it totally!

Special effects are the typical paranormal activity tricks, screeching spooky sounds, stuff moving and shadowy surroundings. There is some moments it works nicely but a lot of the stuff is pre-2000 gamer CGI stuff. The possession portrayal was mediocre at best, mostly just comical- not in the good way. Everything seen and heard in "The Possession Diaries" is base material already overdone in this subgenre. Overall the film isn't anything to rush to experience, but maybe a free flick on Redbox or Vudu, and a little time to waste.

You're so Vein

The devil is killing off all the bad actresses of the world. Rebecca (Katherine Munroe) is making a video diary of her issues. She tells us she is not an actress. Want to see my shocked face? The Ouija Board is the gateway drug to demonic possession, although we never see anyone use it, and you can't use one by yourself as the film implies. Keep the fast forward button in standby.

Guide: F-word. Rape. No nudity.

Yikes...

[alialshameri · 1/10 · 28 May 2020]

Stupidest movie ever

[mzjonz-47363 · 1/10 · 22 September 2020]

I've seen some stupid movies, but this one tops it.

I won't even go into detail about the time I'll never get back. Just trust me when I say, don't waste your time.

Dude

I'm on day 4 and she's wearing the same freaking outfit! They should have just stuck with the girl in the beginning and her story. What a waste of $3.99.

Crazy creepiness!

[skel-eduardo · 10/10 · 7 June 2019]

Such a great horror flick, watched it alone first to enhance the creepiness factor, gonna watch it again with friends tonight!!

Genuinely one of the most poorly-constructed efforts ever committed to film

[scheherezhad · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

Please do not waste your time on this mess, honestly. The dialogue sounds unnatural, the cinematography is amateurish, and the lead doesn't have the chops to carry the pitifully thin story.

Story-wise, the entire thing takes place over the course of a week, but due to the main character waiting until a full hour into the movie (day 5 of her experiences) to change her clothes, there's not a solid sense of time passing. She also seems to have a magic landline phone with a direct connection to Satan, who keeps calling and talking to her on it. The reveal at the end had no sense of surprise, not having earned an emotional response of anything but an eyeroll from the audience.

Listening to people narrating poorly-written creepypastas on youtube is a scarier time than this.

Awful!

[BudoSenpai · 22 July 2021]

Delilah Cotto, please don't do anything like this again! You did such a great job in " Empire" alongside John Leguizamo; you are so much better than this. Someone rated this 10/10 😳they must be friends with the director.
