Michael King doesn't believe in God, the Devil, possession, or Angels, so when his wife dies during an accident, he decides to make a documentary that puts himself as the test subject and allows different dark occult practitioners, from voodoo to necromancy, to try and open him up for possession. The reason? To discredit the idea of religion & demonic possession. However, when Michael starts showing changes in mood & behaviour, he seeks out those he interviewed to try and help him before it's too late. The Possession of Michael King. Yet another 'The Possession/Exorcism of...' movie and yet another addition to that genre. The movie is not actually TOO bad even if it does tend to get a bit boring in a good few places, and it's a novel idea for a story in that the person being possessed is the one who willed it. A possession volunteer so to say. On the flip side, it's a bit of a ridiculous idea at the same time because who would voluntarily put themselves up for something like possession even if they didn't believe in it? Anyway, the film starts off pretty well, and goes along at an OK pace, but it never really gets going or picks up that much at any time later. I mean it does get a bit more intense the more King shows signs of being possessed, but other than that nothing much else really happens to add to the quality or excitement of the film. A couple of the camera angles do tend to get a bit annoying as well, such as extreme close-ups of Michael's face due to his neck-cam, but at least ridiculous camera angles weren't used i.e. My Little Eye. On the plus side, some nice effects were used the more King got possessed. His body contortions were quite well done and looked painful, and then there was the "needle in the finger" moment which may make a few people squirm. Nice touches like that, along with some "jump scares", are the things that keep this film's head above water. Just. Overall, the film's OK, but just don't expect too much.

What's all the fuss about?!? Something I've seen a million times already, cliché, cliché, typical, typical and boring as it gets! I strongly believe those who upvoted this and gave positive comments are quite strangers to found footage films, cause I simply can't find a logical explanation. It goes hand in hand with too many other productions, a semi decent attempt, that moves very slow, bores the viewer to death and has an ending that could be predicted after 30 minutes into the movie. The possession of Michael King, or, The boredom the viewer goes through, is something to be neglected. I could not believe once everything falls in place, it still denies itself a medium action the least! If you just have to watch, you will regret it once it hits the ending. Don't get me wrong, I love horrors, but if you wanna recycle the same plot over and over again, either do it with a different approach, or maybe think of a different action that will incite the viewer. I barely made it through. Cheers!

The filmmaker Michael King (Shane Johnson) is grieving the loss of his beloved wife that died a couple of months ago. He is atheist and decides to make a film about the existence of the supernatural. He challenges the evil using people that worship the Devil to show that the belief in religion and the supernatural is superstition. However something goes wrong and Michael is possessed and becomes a threat to his little daughter. "The Possession of Michael King" is another film with annoying camera associated to an unoriginal story of possession. The storyline is interesting since the lead character does not believe in God, Devil or supernatural and decides to challenge the dark forces. The trailer shows a scary scene – when his daughter tells that he is a monster. But the film is totally disappointing. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): "A Possessão do Mal" ("The Possession of the Evil")

This review may not contain a spoiler, but I ticked it anyway. This is a cheaply made, badly acted and scripted, possible student film. It is completely unoriginal, except for the fact that the main character purposely tries to become possessed as opposed to unknowingly. This may be because of his wife accidentally dying, but it's never made clear why, seem to be just an experiment he's performing on himself, out of depression maybe, we don't know, he seems fairly chipper in the beginning. Since when do things happen for a reason in C grade films? He has a young daughter still living with him, but he continues on his course of trying to become even more and more possessed, till he gets out of control, trashes the house, and his sister takes his kid off him. The talking was too quiet, then sound effects were way too loud and abrasive, trying to maintain their cheap 'jump' scares that always fell flat. People connected with the film have once again inflated the scoring, it's definitely a one star film, avoid this poor excuse of a movie. I would like to offer a way it could have been better, but the story and plot were weak, the acting was weak, writing was dull, the look of the film was not consistent yet the settings were pretty much all in the house. The grave scene with the priest, that kinda went in another direction there where he was getting teeth sewn into his belly to summon the spirit of a dead corpse. Then it was back to the house for the rest of the film till its inevitable end. Please stop making this type of complete crap, conning the general public to rent or buy it, nobody in the real world would rate this stinking movie, nobody.

I have noticed that some of the reviewers of this film on IMDb seem to have 'slated' quite a few films...without posting anything positive about any film. You would almost think that they choose films that they know they won't like...so that they have something to complain about! I am not a big fan of horror films generally. More so with recent releases. I do like the classics. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was intense! Very few modern day horrors seem to replicate these classics. If you think the 'The Possession of Micheal King' will do this, keep looking. Having said that, the film is different from the usual 'slasher' tripe that seems to get rolled out year after year. Having experienced the boorish 'Saw' series (and other titles) and the endless graphic violence in other releases, 'The Possession of Micheal King' was a refreshing change. Clearly it was not made with a huge budget. The acting is not 'Godfather' standard. Despite this, it's directing and themes reminds me of the Playstation Game 'Silent Hill' mixed with 'The Blair Witch Project' The 'Blair Witch Project' was another renowned film, 'slated' by many because of its poor production values and large marketing campaign. I almost sensed reviewer's anger that filmmakers could spend so little on producing a movie whilst also expecting artistic praise. As if poor production values automatically means a film is not worth watching. With care, this approach can produce something interesting that is worth watching. So I commend the makers of 'The Possession of Micheal King'. The film keeps pace. It does not dwell and draw out scenes of violence. It does not treat the viewer like an idiot and explain every internal reference. Overall it is entertaining and worthy of a watch. Perfect it ain't. Classic horror it ain't. It probably isn't everyone's cup of tea. But for a modern day horror that ISN'T a 'slasher'. I would say that is worth a watch.

"Wow, here we go again: another generic possession movie" is what I was thinking before watching this movie, but man was I surprised. What we have here people, is possibly the best possession movie since The Exorcist. After years of disappointment, we get a gosh darn thrilling, creepy, and interesting movie of this sub-genre. If you're a skeptic of the found footage style of filming, I would say this movie will change your mind. You get up close and personal with the protagonist and his descent into madness. And speaking of the protagonist, kudos to the lead actor because he carries the entire movie (as he should). The only gripe I have would be that the plot is underwhelming because if you watched any other possession movie, you know what's going to happen. Other than that, this movie represents the genre extremely well. It's a must see for horror fans!

Watch this one. Just another possession flick right? Nope. Hard to synopsize too much without revealing plot points, but just know that this is a "found footage" flick in the best way. No shaky hand-held stuff. The film follows a film maker that uses multiple cameras. So that gives us different angles and legitimate cinematic quality that sets this miles ahead of your average POV flick. In fact, its very rare that there are 1st person POV shots. Excellent writing. Excellent production, Excellent acting. I gotta say - Im tired of found footage and possession stories, but I'll be damned if this doesn't prove there is still room for both if done correctly. I cant wait to see where David Jung goes from here.

Just finished watching this movie. I didn't think I would like this film at all and almost turned it off right at the start because I read its similar to the blair witch project and paranormal activity. I watched this late at night on my own in the dark so conditions for viewing this type of film were pretty good. The film didn't disappoint. It's very intense, fast moving and quite scary. This film was the exact opposite to what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a waste of 90 mins like 80% of horror films. I couldn't fault anything about the movie. Very impressive work by Yung and whoever else was involved. Acting all round was top notch. Well, give it a shot. I doubt many will be disappointed.

This is a terrible film. Writing this review to save you time and money on this hyped up not horror movie. It is 90 minutes of following one guy that can't act in a non scary movie. Rating is a big fat lie, if you ever seen only one other movie it will be better than this one. This is a 1 star is 2 much film. Your better of watching paint dry. It is almost a civil duty to make this plummet. Hoping I can avoid movies like this in the future. Watch a lot of movies and these are seem to be made by the same company. From dozens of movies only one was acceptable. Pretty please, skip this one!
