The whole things that's cool about this film is it melds the conventions of a court room drama with the time-honored and beloved theme of demon possession. Plus, there is some truly freakish, over the top performances by a character who is a mystic and some corpulent broad that's a voodoo sorceress. You just have to check it out.

Tim Thomson's POSSESSION IS NINE TENTHS OF THE LAW, the first story, is brilliant. It's about a lawyer who must defend a woman who ritualistically murdered her husband. He must prove that she was demonically possessed, and therefore not responsible for the crime. With the aid of a pushy mystic (writer David Rains), he presents his case, even going so far as to resurrect the victim as a witness! And despite Mike Legge's goofy premise, his story works in much the same way as did JACK FROST, the 1997 cheapie about a killer snowman. It's a BODY SNATCHER's tale with a howlingly hilarious twist."
