Decent watch at best, won't watch again, and can't honestly recommend.
I was excited to randomly find Janel Parrish (Mona, "Pretty Little Liars"),and she's clearly a higher caliber actress than this movie, she sort makes the actors that are doing good look a bit off.
Jennifer Stone does crazy in a wonderful way, but she's so crazy for so long, there isn't much in the way of character work that isn't directly distracting, as they are mostly attention seeking self destructive teen actions.
The movie is also a bit scattered in the plot direction. The title would suggest it's about a possession, but it turns more into a psychological analysis of teenage girls exposed to morals in and out of religion.
It gets preachy, but not in any of the fun ways, well, maybe one of the fun ways.
It's not that is doesn't have some good things about it, but just not enough that I think you shouldn't be watching something else.

"High School Never Ends"
Just what was this supposed to be?...
This movie was odd. Let me just start off by saying that.
Then I have to continue on by saying that the movie wasn't particularly entertaining or enjoyable. I managed to endure 61 minutes of the ordeal that is "High School Possession", then I just had to turn off the self-inflicted torture. A couple of times leading up to that point I was tempted to turn off the movie, but I opted to give it a chance.
The storyline just never got off of the ground, and I couldn't immerse myself into the storyline. In fact, there was just too many things going on that weren't really adding up, or just seemed way too random. So the movie felt like a befuddled mess of random chaotic scenes shot and edited together.
As for the characters in the movie, well I can't really claim that they had any more appeal than the storyline did. So you shouldn't get your hopes up here. In fact, I can't even remember a single character's name from the movie. It was just so terribly, terribly bland and pointless.
Actually, I was surprised to see the likes of Kelly Hu show up in a movie such as this, and while she did manage to add some worth to the mixture, it just wasn't sufficient to salvage the downward spiraling movie.
I have absolutely no intention of ever returning to watch the rest of "High School Possession", because this movie just failed entirely to capture my attention, much less bring me any sense of entertaining or enjoyment.
My rating of "High School Possession" becomes a generous two out of ten stars. This movie is not worth the time, money or effort. Actually, the best part about the movie, aside from Kelly Hu, was the movie's cover/poster.
LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU IGNORE ME!
An artist creates a DVD cover to look like "The Craft" with a catchy title. Unfortunately they attached a made for TV film to it. The original Lifetime title was "High School Possession." Chloe (Jennifer Stone) unconvincing shows us she was issues and hears voices. She has the token hot Asian friend (Janel Parrish) in a Hollywood High School with only hot chicks. Is Chloe possessed or just menatlly ill? Will the town exorcist help? (Apparently demonic possession is an issue even in a California paradise.)
The acting wasn't there. The voices in Chloe's head is the most entertaining dialogue in the film. The ending has a twist, which doesn't create the needed climax.
Guide: No swearing or nudity. Poorly implied sex. Great DVD cover.
Note to self: Do not use cuticle scissors for suicide.
