“Possessions” (**1/2 out of four) was a sporadically creepy horror thriller about a devoted father (Clive Standen) who seeks a fresh start with his young son (Mason Wells) after the death of his wife and they move to a new town and purchase a storage unit facility but dark secrets lurking beneath the facility threaten to overtake them. Better-than-average horror story has good atmosphere and performances but is ultimately done in by standard horror cliches. A solid effort from writer/director Brent Cote but this cannot escape film’s origins of “The Shining” and (especially) “Poltergeist.”
