The Possession of Michael King Trailers

The film tells the story of documentary filmmaker Michael King (Shane Johnson), who doesn’t believe in God or the Devil. Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural, making himself the center of the experiment – allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him – in the hopes that when they fail, he’ll once and for all have proof that religion, spiritualism, and the paranormal are nothing more than myth. But something does happen. An evil and horrifying force has taken over Michael King. And it will not let him go.

A-Z Horror Movie of the day..."The Possession of Michael King" (R - 2014 - US)Sub-Genre: POV/Paranormal My Score: 7.8Cast=3 Acting=9 Plot=10 Ending=8 Story=8 Scare=7 Jump=6 F/X=8 POV=10 Creep=9Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural - allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him.I was really impressed with this movie!! I love possession films and this one was great...it had all the best elements. You never know which one, or what combination, caused his application. only that he was powerless to fix it. I liked the ending, although a bit anti-climactic was similar to "The Exorcist" in how it played out. I recommend this one if you like paranormal movies.

After being duped with the fake reviews of "Whispers" needless to say I was skeptical with this movie, however it's definitely worth a watch. I won't go as high as some people and compare it The Excorist because there's no comparison, but if you're looking for a little horror in your life, well..... Enjoy.

The first 5 minutes into this I nearly turned off but was soon gripped.The story follows a man who sets out to prove the existence or non- existence of the afterlife.It has its fair share of predictable jump scares but they still manage to get you. It's gruesome too at times.It's a simple story but is interesting and creepy. There was a few moments that were frustrating...like poor character decisions, however where would the fun be if he quit while he was ahead?!As I horror movie fan, I would recommend highly. It is somewhat original. The actors are great and it has an awesome soundtrack and effects. Fast moving, gripping, jumpy and I enjoyed it.

Were it not for the virtuoso performance of the lead actor in this picture I doubt I could give this movie more than around a vote of 4.However Shane Johnson gives a brilliant portrayal of a man grieving the death of his wife. The story is about a film maker who is trying to find if there is an after life et al; but the question in my mind is whether he is really going crazy due to his bereavement...The special effects and scary moments in this picture on today's standards are at best average but the picture itself is worth a look for the phenomenal lead actor:6/10
