I finally broke down and put this one on. I wasn't necessarily avoiding it but I've often found a repelling nature of things that garner overt public opinion. I don't think it's to be intentionally contrary but I also wouldn't be so bold as to presume that doesn't play a part. Regardless, in the best interest of the 31 days and closing it out well I figured I'd tackle this one in the home stretch to see if it lived up to the hype. A few months ago I don't think you could go anywhere without hearing about somebody raving about Obsession. Every time I heard "You've gotta see it!" I just recoiled a little further. Well, we've crossed the threshold and now it's time to find out how it went.

The Possession of Hannah Grace

I should start with a disclaimer. I'm well aware that we are definitively beyond the 31 Days of Horror and it's been full on Christmas season for an entire week now. So how did I end up back her in the thick of all things spooky? Well I made some new friends tonight. I was on the TikToks, and as an aged man of 43 I'm fully allowed to call it that intentionally. There was a young lady I had come across earlier in the day who was once again entertaining a live broadcast. Before anything untoward has the opportunity to take root, she's a lovely young lady who is more than likely 15+ years my junior, lives several states away and is currently in a wonderfully committed relationship with a young man whom I am also considering a new friend. They are a delightfully talented and entirely interesting young couple I'm quite thankful to have stumbled across. While enjoying the para-social aspect that this venue creates, It did not take terribly long before the conversation steered full on into horror movies. I was pleasantly surprised a bit but absolutely intrigued and we spring boarded into a lengthy and terrifically engaging conversation among a handful of participants darting to and fro through a curiously accumulated catalog of titles. By the time the event had run its course a good while later and she was retiring for the evening, I had created my own new list of films to consume. Eager to begin, as new recommendations often spark a sense of urgency in me, I questioned where best to begin my endeavor and she gave me the name of this film. Thus, here we are once more. I should think that is more than enough ado, so we shall curtail any further and get on with my thoughts about the film...
