Since the beginning of cinema, we have been captivated by stories of possession. From an evil spirit's hold over Regan in The Exorcist to a demonic entity possessing Rosemary Woodhouse in The Devil Inside, the idea of someone or something taking control over you or your body is not at all new.But with such a rich history behind it, why has the topic of possession remained such a popular subject? Perhaps it is because this fear – having our minds and bodies taken from us – strikes at one of our deepest and most primal fears: loss of control. At its core, possession taps into that feeling we can't shake: that feeling like nothing is secure and nothing will ever be okay again. Maybe the idea of an alien entity possessing someone or something taps into our deepest fears about death. It's one thing to die, but it's another thing entirely to be taken by something else when you're gone. For this reason, possession stories seem to elicit both fascination and terror in us at the same time.Still, possession films are not without their drawbacks; namely that they almost always rely on the same plot devices, cliches and conventions. Here's a list of some of the things you can probably count on in most possession movies:A group of teenagers (or college kids) will be involved somehow (and it will turn out they've done something wrong). The possessed will speak in an otherworldly voice.A possessed character will have glowing red or blue eyes.A priest or pastor will be involved in the story at some point.Characters are never truly alone, even when they are alone (they can be possessed by other people even when they are asleep).The possessed will be able to move objects with their minds.A character who should be dead is not really dead, but has been brought back to life by the demonic entity. The other characters do not realize this until after the possession takes place. A possessed character will be able to do impossible things, such as climb walls or walk through closed doors.The possessed character will be unable to resist the object of his/her desire (usually a person).The possessed will go through painful changes, such as growing fur or other protrusions from their bodies.Not all possession films follow every single one of these conventions, but most of them do use at least a few of them in some capacity. So bear that in mind if you find yourself watching one. "The Possession" (2012) is about Rachel (Liv Tyler) and her family moving to the countryside. One day, the family finds an antique box in their new home. Rachel assumes it's just junk that they can throw out, but she soon discovers that it contains a secret - a 16-year-old girl named Hannah (Mikee Goodman). Her soul is trapped inside this ethereal container, and this makes her say upsetting things to Rachel. Strange things begin happening all around the family, but nobody can understand why these strange occurrences are occurring or what is behind them. cfa1e77820
