Come under the spell of this new action shot from Ole Bornedal’s The Possession

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

THE POSSESSION, Ole Bornedal’s new movie produced by Sam Raimi, opens at the end of the month. As such, a new image from the chiller has arrived, though I’m not sure how much it’ll possess your attention. It’s an action shot of sorts, to be sure, but looks more like a game of Twister from Real World 58. No?

Based on a true story, THE POSSESSION is the terrifying account 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.

THE POSSESSION is unleashed August 31st.
