The devil made me do it. With the ever-changing political landscape, it’s good to know there is still a quintessential bad guy to be utilised in movies. Once it was people with a British accent, then the Russians, then the Ukrainians (I’m looking at you Guy Ritchie) and now who knows who is next? But one consistent through all this diversity is the devil!
He or maybe she will always be a great bad guy or gal to put in a film and The Possessed rocks that notion hard. From old Beelzebub’s frequent visits to suburban homes to playing musical chairs in a noisy nightclub, the evil presence always packs a solid punch. A gory misshaped drooling bloody punch.
Jacob Chandler (John Jarratt) and his nephew Liam (Lincoln Lewis) have a successful side-hustle preforming exorcisms. When Liam’s new nightclub DJ girlfriend Atalie (Lauren Grimson) turns out to have a special situation with satin, it’s a match made in well, hell.
As the evil incidents ramp up so does the visual craziness, The makeup artists get to work overtime and there are some fantastic manifestations of Lucifer’s nasty handiwork. When the ultimate demonic duke-a-roo finally happens, it is satisfyingly over the top. Boy, this devil really knows how to party.
The Possessed is available now on Blu-ray, DVD and VOD services.
