possession (2009). directed by joel bergvall and simon sandquist.

i wrote about this last week however it got deleted as blogger server was down due to reasons unknown. let me rehash this quickly. i watched this movie because i have a thing for lee pace. he looks british, sounds vaguely british but isn't british. hotness scale - yeah that's hot to me. i like actors with good mannerism that works well in dramas. however this movie offer neither scope for mannerism-demanding-acting nor it is a drama. it is not a thriller. it is lazy. plot-wise, the film is similar to birth (2004) starring nicole kidman and danny huston. the difference between birth and this movie is that it seemed the people in birth were serious about their silly predicament and the camera work was nice and luxurious, which can't be said about possession. the dead-coming-back-to-life-via-another-body is probably an overused idea by now, and this film should have a tighter editing and sarah michelle gellar's character need to be more involved than just pouts as a way of showing emotions.
