The Possession of Hannah Grace revolves around a former cop, Megan (Shay Mitchell), who's suffering from PTSD and addiction, and embarks on a new career as a morgue assistant. She works the graveyard shift, taking photos, making notes and fingerprinting cadavers, until the job goes horribly wrong with the arrival of the body of Hannah Grace (Kirby Johnson).

As eerie events begin to happen, Megan learns that Hannah died during an exorcism gone horribly wrong three months earlier. Yet, somehow, her body is 'alive' and haunting the morgue. Megan realizes that whatever possessed Hannah's corpse didn't die when she did, which leads to a scary finale as Megan faces off against the demon within.

HOW TO KILL HANNAH
With Hannah murdering people left, right and center, Megan gets in contact with her ex-boyfriend, police officer Andrew (Grey Damon). But as soon as he starts to warn her about the escape of a homeless man who was arrested after he broke into the morgue, the man shows up and abducts Megan. He takes her inside and reveals that he's Hannah's father, Grainger (Lewis Herthum), and that they need to burn his daughter's corpse.
He was the one who smothered Hannah to death when the exorcism didn't work in the opening scene, in order to save one of the priests. Grainger indicates that after they buried her, she escaped from the grave, and since then, he's been tracking her killing spree. When Megan points out that Hannah's body seems to be healing, Grainger confesses that the more she kills, the more she heals. Hannah was brought in after cops caught Grainger trying to mutilate her body, which led to him finally understanding the demon can only die once the corpse is destroyed.

THE DEMONIC SHOWDOWN
That leads to the duo recovering Hannah's corpse and attempting to burn it in the morgue's incinerator. However, the demon rises up, and Hannah burns her father alive instead. A wounded Megan escapes, but Hannah stalks her, feeding off her fear, as Megan suffers from depression just like Hannah (which made her susceptible to possession). Andrew eventually arrives to rescue Megan, but Hannah uses telekinesis to try to dismember him. In the fracas, Megan grabs his gun and shoots Hannah several times, including to the head.
It's poetic justice, as Megan's failure to use her firearm resulted in her partner's death months earlier, which is why she spiraled into depression. Now, however, Megan is reborn as she locks Andrew out of the morgue, and takes Hannah's body to the incinerator. As expected, it's an uphill battle, as the possessed girl fights back, grabbing Megan's face, and tries to drag her in. Eventually the heroine succeeds, and incinerates the body.

MEGAN'S FATE
The film's final scene shows Megan back to her healthy routine, 62 days clean now, and seemingly empowered again. However, we see her watching a fly on her mirror when she comes out the shower, which is ominous because this particular fly was always around a possessed Hannah. Also, as Megan's hair falls across her right eye, we do catch a glimpse of a blue iris.
What's scary about that is Hannah's eyes turned from hazel to blue when she was possessed, and Grainger made it clear it's a mark of the demon. Director Diederik Van Rooijen teases fans with a quick shot, but the blue tinge is unmistakable, leaving it ambiguous whether it's the sunlight hitting Megan's pupil or if the demon has taken possession of her. Throughout the film, the entity had several chances to kill her, but didn't, and seeing as Megan was mentally broken, she would make the perfect vessel. Their final battle did see Hannah screaming into Megan's face, which may have been part of the transference after all.

When a burnt-out former cop decides to work her way back into society, she doesn't realize her new job at the morgue might force her to face more than her own demons. Exorcisms are a real enough practice, as are ex-police trying to cope with PTSD, but for those wondering whether The Possession of Hannah Grace is based on a true story, the inspiration and real elements behind the new film may surprise you.
In a Daily Deadinterview with the film's writer Brian Sieve and producer Sean Robins, Robins said the film's initial inspiration was a newspaper article 'about a woman in L.A. who was ordered to take part in community service, and her service was in a morgue. She was fairly innocent; it wasn't a ghastly crime that she committed. And the idea of a woman being placed in that situation, who had no training or experience, was intriguing to us.'
In Hannah Grace, Pretty Little Liars' star Shay Mitchell plays Megan Reed, a young officer who went into a tailspin of self-destructive behavior after seeing her partner die on the job. She's been slowly putting her life back together, and Reed's AA sponsor thought a night shift position would be the perfect way for her to avoid evening temptations while getting back into the workforce. That the gig's in a morgue isn't a problem; Reed seems glad not to be around the living and as she says in the trailer, 'When you die, you die. That's it.' But when a young woman's gruesomely mangled body comes in, the result of an exorcism gone awry, The Possession of Hannah Grace takes a turn into terror.

Is Hannah's body is being manipulated by a demon or has the stress has finally gotten to Reed? Learning the ultimate answer is part of the film's tension. In the same Daily Deadinterview, Sieve mentioned that the film was inspired by other psychologically-rooted horror films like Let's Scare Jessica To Death, The Haunting of Julia, and Rosemary's Baby, though that doesn't keep Hannah Grace from going full-gore with body horror and bloody effects. The key secret behind making those gruesome body-contortions look believable? Actually make them happen in front of the camera, it turns out.
Speaking to JoBlo, Mitchell talked about her co-star Kirby Johnson, a dancer and contortionist who plays Hannah herself. 'The way she moves is, at first, I kept saying 'disgusting,' but now I say almost beautiful, when her joints pop ... She's poised, naturally, just beautiful. When you see her move it's almost like a weird dance you've never seen before, but you can't take your eyes off of it.'
In another JoBlo article, it's noted that Johnson initially impressed the viewers in a music video where she crawled out of a box. Part of the film's freakiness is exploring the claustrophobia of a morgue's small spaces, so she was (pardon the pun) a perfect fit.
Though possession is the supernatural angle presented in the film's marketing, it's more of a method through which to explore trauma, with the added eeriness of a real-life setting most people find uncomfortable due to its proximity to death and corpses. Reed's worst night on the job might only have a small stake in real-life incidents, but the ideas and fears it explores about failure, not being able to trust yourself, and spooking yourself IRL are plenty real enough.
