Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Possession of Hannah Grace is worth clearing space for. The Possession of Hannah Grace takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. When a cop who is just out of rehab takes the graveyard shift in a city hospital morgue, she faces a series of bizarre, violent events caused by an evil entity in one of the corpses. Shay Mitchell and Kirby Johnson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in The Possession of Hannah Grace. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Shay Mitchell is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
