From IMDb: “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. o Summary provided – Michael King (Shane Johnson) doesn’t believe in God or The Devil.

Poster: C+

Review: Sure, having someone inside you and poking out would be traumatic, but employing that on a poster design only highlights how frequently the motif has been employed, if not in posters, but in films. That makes this seem like a film that lacks a lick of originality.

Trailer: C

Review: It’s nice to see a film about demonic possession tackle a male host for the villainy that is too often forced upon nubile young women, but everything else about the film seems quite old hat. This is the kind of movie that looks so much like others in the genre that no one wanting something different will give it much consideration.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
