Ray and Penny Burns move into a lovely country house — unbeknownst to them the scene of a murder twenty years ago. After a while the spirits of the dead seem to rise
Possession arbeitet mit dem ältesten Motiv der Welt, dem des Haunted House, was John Carson und Joanna Dunham jedoch nicht daran hindert, dies wie eine Weltpremiere zu spielen. Die Nebenfiguren hat man schon besser gesehen, deswegen gehört Possession nicht zu den ganz großen Höhepunkten. Die Folge ist jedoch an guten Momenten nicht arm (siehe Bild).
Familiar stuff which does not prevent Carson and Dunham from turning in engaging performances. As for the other characters, we have seen better in other episodes. Still a coup – just look at this:
Shriek! (Joanna Dunham, Athol Coats)
