Test your gag reflex with this new clip from Ole Bornedal’s The Possession

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

The battle of PG-13 horror-shows goes down at the end of this month, with THE APPARITION in one corner, THE POSSESSION in the other. I’m partial to the former, for reasons explained later this week, but for now, we have a semi-chilling new clip from the latter. Two words…gag reflex!

Bowing August 31st:

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.
