‘The Possession’ (2012) Dibbuk Documentary Featurette
Media Info
Experts on the supernatural explain the reality behind the film.
Based on a true story, The Possession is the terrifying story of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil.
Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.
Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan (WATCHMEN) and Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”), The Possession is directed by Ole Bornedal (NIGHTWATCH), written by Juliet Snowden & Stiles White, and produced by horror master Sam Raimi along with Rob Tapert and J.R. Young. Presented by Lionsgate and Ghost House Pictures.
In theaters on August 31, 2012.

This film gets the franchise back on course, but not completely gracefully.

It doesn’t quite capture the magic of the first film, but audiences will still find solid entertainment here.
An intimate and worthy tribute to a generation of men that came before.

The sad state of affairs that is the modern movie theater and what can be done to alter the situation.
These movies tell women to cash their men in like a small stack of poker chips in a casino for the chance at passion.
We went to see the possession yesterday. The movie is a good movie but here’s the thing about it when it says its true story don’t disregard that. It actually is. The movie depicts what the Jewish Rabbi would do in the event of a possession. The movie is completely different than what you have. I’m stopping here seen in the other type movies. I don’t mean the movie is not scary but it is lower tone of scariness.
They spend more time on trying to get you to understand what this demon is and that there are demons out in world but it is coming from a Jew not a catholic priest. If you decide to go see the movie don’t think it doesn’t have scary parts. Listen to what the Rabbi is telling the parents about what is happening to their daughter and why the box is there.
The Jewish people for a while there in Israel didn’t think demon possessions were not happening anymore. They just forgot about them like we do in ghost and bad spirits. That all changed when they had their first possession. Now they’re trying to let everyone know that demons do exist on this earth. In the movie they will show the footage of a real Jewish exorcism.
When I was growing up and going to church they never taught about demons, spirits, or other demonic things. They would tell you about Jesus casting out demons out of the Bible but that was as far as they would go to Letting you know these demons are still out here. The demonic things have never left from Jesus time they are all around us they see us but we don’t see them. I am stopping here. Allot to write on.
I just seen the movie! Love it from start till the end. Perfect I may say. This I believe… if u believe in God, then you better believe there is real evil… I didn’t say believe in evil. I say believe that there is and are evil spirits… If God is real so there should be real evil… take notice.. good and bad! Clean and dirty! High and low! And we live in between.
