AVA’S POSSESSIONS
Galland Jordan
United States, 2015, 89', International Premiere
The movie
Possession, exorcism… then what ? What happens when the demon is gone, and the priest has left ? Ava (the great Louisa Krause) is asked by the court to join the Formerly-Possessed Anonymous Association. The group aims at helping people who have been under the influence of a diabolical entity to reintegrate into society. Although amnesiac, the journey will be a long one for Ava, especially since she has butchered a few relatives and exhibited strange sexual behaviours. Ever wanted to see a humourous, highly stylised pop-art twist on the horror genre ? This “post-exorcism’’ film is an original alternative tailored- made for you ! Jordan Galland skillfully plays on the tropes to shift from seriousness (and frights) to laid-back (and funny) moments. Masterfully written and paced, this story goes where few have gone before, and puts a spin on the idiom “to conquer one’s demons’’.
