Oorsig
A relentlessly unnerving psychological horror, *The Possession of Michael King* distinguishes itself through a deliberate, self-inflicted descent into the occult. Grieving the loss of his wife, a skeptical documentary filmmaker actively invites demonic forces to possess him as a final, desperate attempt to disprove the supernatural—a chilling premise that quickly spirals beyond control. The film eschews jump scares as its primary effect, instead crafting a mounting sense of dread and isolation as Michael’s conscious self fractures under the influence of an ancient evil, blurring the line between performance and genuine violation. This isn't a tale of reluctant possession, but one of willful exposure, resulting in a deeply unsettling exploration of belief, self-destruction, and the terrifying possibility that some doors, once opened, cannot be closed.
