\"Possession,<\/a>
Possession, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lee Pace. And you think your brother-in-law is problematic?\u00a0 Image: iwatchstuff.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jess (Sarah Michelle Gellar<\/a>) adores her loving and extremely romantic husband Ryan (Michael Landes<\/a>). Her only problem is his brother Roman (Lee Pace<\/a>), who couldn\u2019t have been more opposite. He has been arrested for assault, he has violent tendencies and he is just creepy enough to make Jesse cringe. Moreover, he stays with the otherwise blissfully happy couple.<\/p>\n

Jess\u2019s life comes crashing down when a horrible accident ends both brothers in a coma. She can\u2019t get used to life without Ryan but then something happens to make things even weirder. Roman wakes up, believing he is Ryan. He acts just like his brother. Jesse is more than disturbed by this but what the hell is she going to do when Roman is saying and doing things only Ryan could know?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the genres -listed -on IMDB- for this movie fool you.\u00a0 Completely ignore the \u201chorror\u201d, and rather than expecting a thriller, concentrate on the mystery, drama and romance part. If you do that, you have a nice film. It is a really disturbing situation Jess is in and you really feel her confusion and pain. She can\u2019t understand if something paranormal is at work- can her husband\u2019s soul somehow be in his brother\u2019s body now? The love she has for Ryan and her regrets cloud her judgment and from then on things take some interesting turns.<\/p>\n

Now, of course you see the twists and turns coming. The explanation is pretty much in front of you. But put yourself in Jess\u2019 position and then the movie becomes an uncomfortably entertaining experience. I liked the performances; especially Lee Pace can very convincingly switch from psycho to sweetheart. Very good romantic drama.\u00a0 Average thriller. No horror. Decide what you are in the mood for, and set your expectations accordingly. Based on a Korean film, so if you are allergic to remakes, do stay away.<\/p>\n

P.S. I checked out the alternate ending. I couldn’t find the DVD but thankfully youtube came to rescue. I prefer the alternate version (it has more different scenes- not just the ending). It is more intense, true to the original Korean version. Let me know how you feel about the movie and which version you like best.<\/p>\n
