Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag Me To Hell) produces the mid-Summer shocker The Possession. The film follows a divorced couple dealing with their young daughter’s recent change after she acquires a mysterious antique box at a yard sale. Only, there’s no music in this box, it contains a Dybbuk: a “wandering spirit who takes over the bodies of living people, rather than moving onto the next realm of existence“. Sounds like a quasi-new spin for a horror film and with a dependable cast and a really excellent music choice, this trailer might actually surprise you. Enjoy! Directed by Ole Bornedal, The Possession stars Madison Davenport, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick…
