Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

After adopting a little girl through nefarious means, a couple start to believe her attachment to her real mother might mean that her spirit is the cause of a series of supernatural attacks that they have to discover the cause of to keep their new daughter alive.This was an absolutely enjoyable Lifetime effort that really has a lot going for it. One of the better additions to this one is the fact that the ghost here is actually a credible threat throughout and actually has some rather impacting moments on the film. Starting with the rather tame appearances before graduating to themes such as flat-out possession, body manipulation, control over the outside world and even managing to take on hauntings at several locations at the same time means that this is a rather credible threat rather than something that just happens to have a ghost involved but never really gets to do anything since it appears so sporadically. However, here it not only gets to interfere in the daily life of the family and cause a lot of mayhem, for lack of a better term in such a movie, it also manages to interact far more often without really loosing the fear. This is helpful in the later half where the ghostly hauntings becomes far more physical where they attack using items around the room with ghostly voices and ethereal light bouncing around which sounds ludicrous in many ways but actually holds together far better than expected. With a few too many plot lines that seem perfectly suited to such a platform including the step-mom's relationship with her own mother as well as the attempt at inter-family discord that drives the plodding mid-section, there's times where the horror becomes secondary which makes for a little jerking pace as it's set-up with the horror at the beginning through her mysterious arrival and quirky behavior, gets dropped for lame family squabbles and picks up again at the end with the exorcism and final battle. That said, all-in-all this was quite enjoyable.

I cannot believe people get paid for "acting" this poorly. Are you kidding me? I was embarrassed for each and every "actor" in this movie (and I use the term loosely)! Overacting at its very worst. I couldn't turn this movie off because it amazed me to see what some people will do for money. Unbelievable. It should be listed as a comedy, not a horror. Horror? No, horrific! It would be very interesting to see what these people were paid to do something so embarrassing to the industry. To know that these actors make so much more than people such as doctors, that save peoples' lives, is so backwards and just wrong. I have seen my share of terrible movies and this one ranks just about at the top of the heap. Just because this was a TV movie doesn't excuse the awful writing or acting.

Possessing Piper Rose or as it is sold in Europe under Possessed By evil is a perfect example of a TV horror movie. It do has all elements to call it a horror but it fails completely because it is a TV movie which means, the whole family could watch it.The story is simple and see, sigh, a thousand times before. Joanna Maxwell (Rebecca Romijn) and her husband Ben Maxwell (David Cubitt) are a new couple. The want their own child, David already has one, but it isn't possible to have it on the natural way so they adopt a child, Piper Rose (Isabella Cramp). Of course things are wrong with Piper. What we have next is that she sings strange songs, her mother appears as a ghost, supernatural things are happening, killers with big knifes are on the run, possessed grandmothers, in fact, everything a horror buff wants you will get in this flick but it becomes sometimes laughable because it is a TV movie. The grandmother becomes possessed by evil spirits (the mother of Piper) but her eyes (CGI) only changes from color. It is so low that even when a knife is flying through the air and cuts into the flesh it is all done off-camera and we do see the result but there's almost no blood to see that it is almost a spoof. Me, as a mega horror buff did laugh a few times even as it wasn't mentioned to be funny. And the fact that the rebellious son hates his stepmother and naturally loves her towards the end of the flick, well, you could have guessed it in the first minute. Even the last minute of this flick is so predictable that I rather thought that it was a comedy. If they had made it unrated well, this would be a hell of a movie but now, it's possessed by ....stupidity.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Story 3/5 Effects 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I continue to check out Lifetime channel and Lifetime Movie channel for movies. Majority are yawns but every now and then a good one makes it.This is not one of the good ones. A couple adopts a child in not such a legal way and the problems start. The first problem is the acting. The second problem is a plot that has been repeated over and over. This movie brings nothing new to the table.The adoptive mother has a mother in a care facility and she becomes possessed by the child's biological mother. The possession involves her eyes turning bright green. A five year old could have been more creative.Sometimes a really bad movie will actually make you laugh. This one doesn't provide that form of entertainment.Avoid this dud at all cost.
