The jumpscares are pretty scary amd the actor really did a great job love how he makes fun of it in the beginning but then regrets it immediately. Dont let the low rating fools you its a really well done movie

Samantha King (Cara Pifko) is spiritual and dies. Her atheist husband Michael (Shane Johnson), who just so happens to be a documentary maker, goes about to disprove the afterlife and anything spiritual by attempting to contact a demon. He consults all kinds of people and uses drugs to help induce a mental state for the demon to take root. Sounds like fun even if it don't work out.If by chance you read the title to the film, you get an idea how it turned out.If you like possession, hand-held horror films that dig at atheists, you have hit the jackpot. This is one of the better hand held productions as the horror doesn't stem from a camera jerking around while people scream in the dark. The film shows you some pretty good rituals, the ones mom would teach me. On the down side, Shane Johnson is in every scene. We couldn't develop other characters or a subplot. He had some all alone scenes that he had difficulty carrying. And didn't we see that ending before? Gosh, what movie was that?
Parental Guide: F-bombs. Was that a sex scene? No nudity. Major league camel toe.

A-Z Horror Movie of the day..."The Possession of Michael King" (R - 2014 - US)Sub-Genre: POV/Paranormal
My Score: 7.8Cast=3 Acting=9 Plot=10 Ending=8 Story=8
Scare=7 Jump=6 F/X=8 POV=10 Creep=9Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural - allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him.I was really impressed with this movie!! I love possession films and this one was great...it had all the best elements. You never know which one, or what combination, caused his application. only that he was powerless to fix it. I liked the ending, although a bit anti-climactic was similar to "The Exorcist" in how it played out. I recommend this one if you like paranormal movies.

When a psychic fails to predict his wife's untimely death Michael King embarks on a project to disprove the paranormal, subjecting himself to demonic and necromantic rituals. Needless to say his life soon takes a turn for the worse, with the life of his daughter and his own sanity in grave danger. The 83 minutes move at a pretty fast pace, with plenty of jump scares, demonic possession plus some decent gore. Possibly too much, these things do start to lose their impact after a while. Overall a decent enough effort, though not one that I'd care to watch again.
