The Possession Experiment

There has been an excessive amount of films about possession that have been coming out for years that everyone is sick of, but this film is a bit different and unique, even though it ultimately fails, but not for lack of effort.

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is, in spite of claims otherwise made, a CG version of an Indiana Jones movie... for better or for worse.
