Audience Reviews for The Possession of Joel Delaney

  • Apr 21, 2008
    It's like "The Exorcist" meets "The Serpent and the Rainbow". Not as good as those, but it's still very good. The Possession of Joel Delaney is an interestingly strange and different look on satanic possession. Many parts are quite eerie in places, while others are very disturbing, especially the sickening ending that involves a little boy. Strong performances, a solid script, along with a creepy story make this movie well worth a watch. But The Possession of Joel Delaney does have it's flaws, and it tends to drag on sometimes. Regardless, that shouldn't stop you from seeing this. Although it's not an outstanding horror film, it's definitely an entertaining one with an intriguing story to tell. It puts something new on the plate for horror fans. Perfect movie for Halloween! <img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm89/JDHallowEEn/ThePossessionofJoelDelaney.jpg">
