I saw this movie almost by accident late one night and have been hooked since. It is, in short, a haunted house story in reverse (and that's why it is called "In Possession" and not "Possessed"). The setting is a paradox, ie the LAST NIGHT of a couple due to move out of THEIR OWN HOUSE in the very urban setting of central London. But the master touch is that the living characters unwittingly seem to "possess" the spirits..or so it seems. Not to be missed.
