The Possession of Michael King
Michael King asks occultists to summon all evil spirits to prove his point that they do not exist. But something goes wrong and he becomes a danger to everyone.
Why it matters
A found-footage dive into self-imposed possession that probes faith, grief, and the darkness we invite when challenging the supernatural.
- Michael King’s descent is a rare twist: possession as experiment, not accident, adding philosophical weight to familiar devil horror.
- Shane Johnson’s committed lead anchors the film’s tension, selling both skepticism and terror with quiet intensity.
- Practical effects and occult rituals build a grim atmosphere that leans into dread over cheap scares—though jump scares do punctuate the ride.
- For fans of possession tales who want a meta angle and a slow-burn unraveling of faith and madness, this one’s a thoughtful if uneven entry.
