Harrowing First Trailer for The Possession

user posted image

Maybe it’s the music, but the first trailer for Ole Bornedal’s horror movie “The Possession” looks simply incredible. Honestly, I didn’t think it would look this good. I was expecting maybe B-level horror along the lines of “The Last Exorcism” and “The Devil Inside”, or something equally forgettable, but from the looks of this trailer, “The Possession” could be really, really good. It certainly has some insane looking moments. I mean, there are fingers trying to crawl out of the girl’s mouth! Yikes.

In “The Possession”, a young girl buys an antique box at a yard sale, unaware that inside lives a malicious ancient spirit that really, really wants to come out. The girl’s father teams with his ex-wife to find a way to end the curse upon their child before it’s too late. Shenanigans ensue. It’s a good thing her dad is played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who used to kill supernatural creatures like this on a daily basis on “Supernatural”. Then again, he did die on the show…

Also starring Kyra Sedgwick, Grant Show, Madison Davenport, Natasha Calis, Agam Darshi, Quinn Lord, Rob LaBelle, and directed by Ole Bornedal. And oh yeah, Sam Raimi “presents” it. Whatever that means.

Avoid the box August 31, 2012.

Really creepy stuff... after numerous bad luck striking Ebay auction buyers, it is now in the hands of a curator for research purposes.

Centipedes, scorpions and spiders seem to be drawn towards the box only to be engulfed in a white mold that kills them. For display purposes, a mock box of the same box was created. When the mock box was completed, a giant storm occurred causing a 100-year-old tree to fall on the mocker's home.

As for the movie, obviously does a Hollywood take on it with the usual scare factors amped up to typical horror movie levels. I think it is more like "loosely" based on.

I guess no one will see this movie for fear of... luck?

1) It wasn't the mock box that caused it. Someone mocked the box and a 100 year old tree flew onto the mocker's house.

2) I really think this is just viral marketing .......

Just came back from the premiere.

This movie turns out to be just another disappointing Exorcist-ripoff and doesn't really follow the accounts of what really happened to those who had the box. Basically, this film sucks.

it was so-so.

predictable ending. but the good thing was the audience was quite into this movie, they went all crazy at almost the end of the movie, which pretty funny to me lol

despite that, great acting from the 2 kids, especially the one who plays Emily. reminds me of the orphan

Drag Me To Hell nice???

Hannah somehow reminds me of Lindsay Lohan during her younger years....infact...she looks quite similar to elm0001 avatar! lol

to me...yeah the movie is predictable after you watch the trailer...what i didnt expect is emily hav a sister...didnt show that part in the trailer...though not sure what's her real role is...

the ending - i was wishing it to be a sad ending...horror movie shouldnt have good ending...i mean the priest died in the original exorcist, exorcism of the emily rose also died, everyone died in paranormal series (and there's a trailer during this movie ad time for paranormal 4 wif a cute girl - me likey), ju-on everyone died....infact the whole town died in the last series which makes it a bit WTF....

the point is - SOMEONE must die!!!
the ending of this movie makes it like a family-horror story... sweat.gif

other than tat, there's then too many short scenes that tries to make a scary scene out of it...

i like the concept of the devil trying to come out from the body...but didnt like how it

Ok, it's not that scary. I still prefer 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose'.

Watched it few days ago.

It was ok; would have been better.

From the ending, seems like there's going to be a sequel.


Normally, horror movies relates to Christianity and The Bible.

This time, it's Jewish laugh.gif


The moment I saw the writings, "That's Hebrew"
