Details

The film tells the story of documentary filmmaker Michael King (Shane Johnson), who doesn’t believe in God or the Devil. Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural, making himself the center of the experiment – allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him – in the hopes that when they fail, he’ll once and for all have proof that religion, spiritualism, and the paranormal are nothing more than myth. But something does happen. An evil and horrifying force has taken over Michael King. And it will not let him go.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
mariiam-57251 This was by far the only horror movie i found entertaining from the start till the end. the main character's acting was a spot on & he did a really great job!
yuvi-01580 I was pleasantly surprised by this movie.I won't say it was the best horror movie I ever watched, nor will I say I was totally blown away by anything, but it was definitely a great movie and I enjoyed it.So, a very brief summary with minor spoilers:After his wife dies believing that a psychic had predicted a good outcome in her life, Michael King is determined to prove that the whole supernatural thing is rubbish.While we've seen dumb people in horror movies before and we've seen the disbelieving character many times, I haven't personally watched something fully focused on it like this. It seems realistic and almost relatable in some ways, where we're looking at a character dealing with losing the love of his life in his own crazy way.8/10
sergioout This is my first review ever so I'll try to keep it short. This is just one of my favorite horror movies ever because it's very easy to imagine it as something real, happening to a real relatable person. The reason that made me review is very simple: all of my favorite movies usually (even those that are kind of unknown) "climb" to the top movies on IMDb and somehow this one is stuck below the 6 star rating, so my guess is it needs to be watched by more people who are not looking for another Blair Witch to compare it to and just enjoy it for the great movie it is... it deserves a better rating!
theelby-17728 This movie was surprising in how good it was,not knowing or expecting anything than the run of the mill cliché horror. It's about Michael who loses his wife and being a absolute athiest starts to experiment using himself he invites God and the devil to show up well God did not but something else did after he uses two or three different occults to help bring him what he did not believe, it soon starts to fall apart and now possessed is getting much worse by the day,he is loosing self control but can he overcome what has turned into his worse nightmare. Overall I would say a great hr or two is well worth investing in this quite original possession movie.
