Full Plot Details

The basketball coach Clyde and his wife Stephanie divorced a couple of months ago and their teenage daughter Hannah and the girl Emily 'Em' live with their mother and spend the weekends with their father. One day, Clyde stops his car in a yard sale and Em buys an antique carved box and becomes obsessed with it. Em finds the hidden lock and releases an evil spirit that possesses her. Soon Clyde discovers that Em has a problem, but his ex-wife and her boyfriend Brett do not pay attention to him and get a restraining order against Clyde. Clyde seeks out Professor McMannis and when he sees the box, he explains that it is the Dibbuk Box, where a fiend is trapped inside. He also explains that the box should not be open; otherwise the person will be possessed by the spirit. Now Clyde travels to a Jewish community in New York and the rabbi's son Tzadok returns with him expecting to exorcise Em to save the girl.

Movie Reviews

Projection Booth - 9/10 by Rob HumanickWhile frustratingly vague in terms of character and motivation, The Possession is among the more competent of recent studio horror efforts. If only that wasn't the best thing I could say about it.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)The elegant closing credits are among the year's most stylish.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekA stylish but silly horror picture that...doesn't appreciably alter the formula that William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin established nearly four decades ago.
Boston Phoenix - 9/10 by Betsy ShermanIsabelle Adjani and Sam Neill give mesmerizingly out-there performances as a troubled couple trying to hold it together for their young son.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertLike "The Exorcist," the best film in the genre, it is inspired by some degree of religious scholarship and creates believable characters in a real world. That religions take demonic possessions seriously makes them more fun for us, the unpossessed.
MovieJuice! - 8/10 by Mark RamseyKyra Sedgwick is in this movie, meaning it's two degrees of Kevin Bacon and even fewer degrees of terrible.
Sacramento News & Review - 8/10 by Jim Lane... a stale and shameless rip-off of The Exorcist ...
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyPut "The Possession" on the short-list for one of the worst films of 2012.
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) - 8/10 by John WirtMuch better than it needs to be given its late-summer horror flick placement.
Shockya.com - 8/10 by Brent SimonPuppet-master technique and a generally well orchestrated sense of moodiness help this chiller deliver on more than it botches, despite a fumbled third act.
