The Possessed (2009)
Said it with a straight face so it must be true !
Fables, legends and folklore. I usually love watching these type of film/docos but this is jumping all over the place .
These kids obviously would have been diagnosed differently now but it seems to focus a lot on the torturous ways of the victorians in dealing with, for want of a better word , mental, patients .
By bringing in guest presenters like John Zaffis doing straight faced pieces to camera validates(a word so overused in the ghost world) the authenticity of the stories.
Urban explorers and a man who is making me laugh swaying and in a bath giving an insight to the spirit world saying the baths were at different temperatures. Really ? He doesn't know he's in an asylum? It says ASYLUM above the front entrance. If he knows this area he will know the legend of the house too .
The victorians were totally into seances as parlour entertainment . What was their choice ?
Send their kid away or put her up for intrigue and helping another father who lost his child in an asylum .
Dewi - a wannabe .
Kelly obviously suffered from the teenage angst problem of cutting herself . Other people labelling them as possessed .
Badly written,directed and produced and on camera too. This is what happens when you can't let go of the reins and delegate other people to do the jobs that stop the onslaught of self indulgence .
Feels like an advert for the Roff house .
I love Bill Tolley and his gadgets.
