‘Ava’s Possessions’ Brings a ‘Hellraiser’ Vibe to VOD

Published

Ava's Possessions

From Jordan Galland, the director of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead, Ava’s Possessions finds “Ava recovering from demonic possession. With no memory of the past month, she is forced to attend a Spirit Possessions Anonymous support group. As Ava struggles to reconnect with her friends, get her job back, and figure out where the huge blood stain in her apartment came from, she is plagued by nightmarish visions–the demon is trying to come back.

After premiering at last year’s SXSW Film Festival, Momentum Pictures will release on VOD on March 4th.

Check out the trailer that unleashes a demon (seemingly inspired by Hellraiser).

Ava’s Possessions is written and directed by Jordan Galland. It stars Krause, Jemima Kirke (HBO’s Girls), Carol Kane (Netflix’s The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), and Alysia Reiner and Deborah Rush (both of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black), alongside horror favorites Whitney Able (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane), William Sadler (Tales from the Crypt presents Demon Knight), Lou Taylor Pucci (The Evil Dead), and Dan Fogler (NBC’s Hannibal).

In addition, a viral campaign was launched.

For the last thirty years, Spirit Possession Anonymous has become the most reliable rehabilitation organization for anyone suffering from otherworldly ailments. In 1982, when SPA was established, little was known about what happens after a successful exorcism or how to help victims re-integrate into daily life – or how to prevent repossession.

In their studies, the founders of SPA discovered that by confronting people they’d harmed during the time they were possessed, owning up to the damage they’d caused, and by sharing these experiences, survivors of possession could help themselves and other suffering victims make a full recovery and – even more importantly – prevent it from happening again.
