Rating: PG13

Synopsis: Inspired by Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein's article "A Jinx in a Box," this horror film from Ghost House Pictures and director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch) tells the tale of a broken family that comes under attack from a malevolent supernatural entity of Jewish folklore. Shortly after her parents (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) divorce, a young girl purchases an ornate antique box at a yard sale. In the weeks that follow, the young girl forms an intense fixation on the box, her behavior growing increasingly bizarre as she falls into the grip of a diabolical apparition. When the girl's father discovers that the relic is in fact a holding cell for the disconnected soul of a deceased person who has been denied entry into the afterlife and needs a human host to inhabit, he fights to rid her of the evil that threatens to consume her body and soul.

    Thrills , chills and even spills. Sometimes the most scariest things in life are real.So sleep tight , make sure you keep the lights on and don't forget to check under your bed. The Possession evokes fears of that which may just be possible

    Unlike many horror movies, this one actually developed the characters and made you care about them.  This production lured me into the drama of a family whose daughter was being compromised by evil.

    An allegory about a girl who is raped by her father (who touches her box) and must get an abortion. Miraculously, this brings the family closer together.
