By the time i had gotten far enough into the movie to "give it a go" i was far too invested in it to give up (or maybe just too lazy to spend time looking for something else to watch). As has been said, the movie mainly focuses on one guy's emotional downwards spiral and how it is affecting his two friends. The ending? well that was just a cop out. There was no real finale as such. It was like buying a huge firework that has this long fuse that, when the fuse reaches the firework and you are expecting this huge display of sound and light and all you get is "pufft". Oh, and, although it is titled "The Possession of David O'Reilly" i didn't actually see any scene where David O'Reilly was ever actually possessed at all. It was more about a poor guy going crazy and trying to keep something, that may or may not have been a figment of his imagination, out of his friends house. Now, the thing is, it could have been really quite good, the groundwork was all sound. But, unfortunately for the viewers, it was as though the screenplay writer/s were on a deadline and didn't have time to work out a real plot for the end. There are a few jumpy scenes and parts where you are led into the start of a good story, but thats where it stops. It's no "Blair Witch" or "Paranormal Activity"...but, quite easily could have been with a little more thought and what was there was quite well done. Really let down, mainly, by the poor ending 4/10

I just finished watching this movie and it scared the h-e-double hockey sticks out of me! I am however, confused.First of all, after reading reviews, I noticed that a tonne of people are comparing it to "Paranormal Activity". Sure, maybe if Paranormal is the horribly crappy version of it. Movies in the same genres are going to have similarities, but for people to call this a spin off of Paranormal obviously need to watch these two movies again. First of all, this movie doesn't SUCK. "The Possession of David O'Reilly" moved at a good pace, I didn't find myself getting bored. The question of whether or not he was slowly going insane, or if these supernatural occurrences were actually reality really kept me engaged the entire time. I kept going back and forth between those two questions.The only thing that I didn't totally dig, was the end. I was left feeling super confused. The camera panned over the girlfriend's body, showing that she was dead. It made me wonder, were the demons real and they killed her when she opened the door, and David was right in warning her not to? If so, then why didn't the couple see the same things that David was seeing when it all started happening more? WHAT HAPPENED?! I need to know! It's really bugging me and I don't want to watch it again...too scary. But good. ^_^

Man comes to friends home. Stays over the night and a few days. Is possessed by demons ( no suspense about how they look !!! ). Bad ending ...I am sure that if you are on this page and reading this that you would have seen 1. Paranormal Activity 1 2. Paranormal Activity 2 3. Blair Witch Project 4. Quarantine 5. CloverfieldObviously you liked what you saw in terms of the POV camera play , the story lines, the strong story lines, not really being able to seeThe Possession of David O'Reilly is similar to none of them. It tries and it tries hard but fails miserably on all counts. The creature effects are amateurish, the story line is never explained clearly.Bad Bad Movie .... Please don't waste any money or bandwidth
