Horror Documentary filmmaker Michael King (Shane Johnson) does not believe in God or the Devil. When his wife dies, he sets out to make his next movie on religion and spirituality, hoping to prove those things are just myth. But in allowing demonologists, necromancers and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest, darkest spells and rituals on him, he unleashes a horrifying force.

	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Dim in wits and lighting, 'The Possession of Michael King' strains our eyes, spits on our intelligence and saps our generosity of spirit"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Despite its overwhelmingly stale air of familiarity, this debut feature by David Jung manages to impress thanks to its technical expertise and the compelling performance by Shane Johnson"
		Justin Chang Variety	"Inept found-footage thriller. (...) increasingly unpleasant, rarely frightening debut feature"
