It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Let me tell you gore doesn't make a movie. The movie was great it goes for the old horror movie you don't need gore to make a great horror movie. Loved this movie, good effects, good acting it doesn't look like it was made for T.V. If you are a true horror fan and not a stupid little teenagers or adult I highly recommend the movie. It did scare me .It was well done. Realistic.I really love this movie is different it might look similar but is actually very different from the mainstreams possession movies. Just give it a try if you truly love art and you are not in just for the gore or the organs falling out or head chopping around that you won't find it here, but things that would make you tremble?, yes you will.

I cannot believe people get paid for "acting" this poorly. Are you kidding me? I was embarrassed for each and every "actor" in this movie (and I use the term loosely)! Overacting at its very worst. I couldn't turn this movie off because it amazed me to see what some people will do for money. Unbelievable. It should be listed as a comedy, not a horror. Horror? No, horrific! It would be very interesting to see what these people were paid to do something so embarrassing to the industry. To know that these actors make so much more than people such as doctors, that save peoples' lives, is so backwards and just wrong. I have seen my share of terrible movies and this one ranks just about at the top of the heap. Just because this was a TV movie doesn't excuse the awful writing or acting.

Possessing Piper Rose or as it is sold in Europe under Possessed By evil is a perfect example of a TV horror movie. It do has all elements to call it a horror but it fails completely because it is a TV movie which means, the whole family could watch it.The story is simple and see, sigh, a thousand times before. Joanna Maxwell (Rebecca Romijn) and her husband Ben Maxwell (David Cubitt) are a new couple. The want their own child, David already has one, but it isn't possible to have it on the natural way so they adopt a child, Piper Rose (Isabella Cramp). Of course things are wrong with Piper. What we have next is that she sings strange songs, her mother appears as a ghost, supernatural things are happening, killers with big knifes are on the run, possessed grandmothers, in fact, everything a horror buff wants you will get in this flick but it becomes sometimes laughable because it is a TV movie. The grandmother becomes possessed by evil spirits (the mother of Piper) but her eyes (CGI) only changes from color. It is so low that even when a knife is flying through the air and cuts into the flesh it is all done off-camera and we do see the result but there's almost no blood to see that it is almost a spoof. Me, as a mega horror buff did laugh a few times even as it wasn't mentioned to be funny. And the fact that the rebellious son hates his stepmother and naturally loves her towards the end of the flick, well, you could have guessed it in the first minute. Even the last minute of this flick is so predictable that I rather thought that it was a comedy. If they had made it unrated well, this would be a hell of a movie but now, it's possessed by ....stupidity.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Story 3/5 Effects 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I continue to check out Lifetime channel and Lifetime Movie channel for movies. Majority are yawns but every now and then a good one makes it.This is not one of the good ones. A couple adopts a child in not such a legal way and the problems start. The first problem is the acting. The second problem is a plot that has been repeated over and over. This movie brings nothing new to the table.The adoptive mother has a mother in a care facility and she becomes possessed by the child's biological mother. The possession involves her eyes turning bright green. A five year old could have been more creative.Sometimes a really bad movie will actually make you laugh. This one doesn't provide that form of entertainment.Avoid this dud at all cost.
