Description:

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.

Reviews:

Dean (10/10)

Let's start from the beginning, why this film is good? First, it's unique in it's genre. Yes, we got quite a many movies about Possessions & Devil themes, but this one is different. It tells the story how main character gets possessed by on it's own will, to prove if God & Devil are real or not, after the accident of his wife, which died by the suggestion of a fortuneteller. Whole movie is very interesting, that shows how main character is being possessed & we can see what happens in this head, which is also unique in horror movies. Technically film is also very well done, with nice effects & great quality (thx to Arri Alexa camera). I enjoyed the movie from the start to the end. Very well done, especially if we consider, that this was a first movie of it's director - David Jung. I'd say this is another great horror movie after "The Devil's Due" & "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" in this year. I wish David Jung good luck & to continue creating such good movies.

This is an interesting movie with how Michael go through many of the dark magic and satanic ways of conjuring up a demon.

Once that happens though, you best to get ready for some spooks and jump scares, which are pretty decent but nothing too memorable.

If you focus on the predictable story of this movie, you will feel as if this movie didn't try hard enough. In fact, this movie does try to give you a performance from the main character and the effects that come with the changes during the possession.

The movie isn't overwhelming good but it is a fun watch if you want something slightly different from the usual possession.
