Possession - 2009 * * *

Fear never dies.

This is a very bizarre movie. I can understand the premise for it and there are some very scary parts. However the film itself doesn't make any sense. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the lead role ( I haven't seen her in anything since the gastly 'Southland Tales') and does as good a job as she can with the material she is given. She is in a loving marriageth her husband Ryan whilst his disturbing and strange brother Roman takes up space in their house eating and drinking everything in sight. One day this all changes when Ryan and Roman are involved in a dreadful car crash which leaves them both in a coma. But then something very strange happens. This is what I don't understand - (SPOILERS) - the body of Ryan regains consciousness and yet Jess ( Gellar) can only see Roman when she speaks to him. To us the viewers all we can see is Ryan who has Ryan's traits and Ryan's personality but apparently that is not what Jess is seeing! That for me just messed up the whole idea of the film.
