There's Something Inside The Trailer For THE POSSESSION!!
The Kidd here...
There seems to be another possession/exorcism movie popping up everywhere you turn these days, and, after awhile, they are start looking the same and blending together... which is why when something that looks to do something different with the concept comes along, we take notice.
And that brings me to the trailer for THE POSSESSION (via Yahoo!).
This one's got Sam Raimi's name attached as a producer to help get it on the radar, but it's the creepiness of the imagery that should keep it there. THE POSSESSION previously went by the name DIBBUK BOX, based on this 2004 L.A. Times article about a haunted Jewish cabinet box. Madison Davenport as the young daughter and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as her concerned dad seem to have this one grounded, so we'll see if it can live up to the potential. I'm thinking with that money shot it can.

last.

It got better throughout the preview and that last little bit with the mirror was pretty cool. who knows, might be worthwhile.
-
Oh fuck off.
-
Heheheheheheheheheheheh.
-
Dybbuk schmybbuk! I said more ham!
-
While I liked the title Dibbuk Box way better (The Possession is so generic), I believe this will be a good film. The director is Dane Ole Bornedal, who always makes interesting films. At least, it should be better than most Ghost House productions.
-
Same guy, yes? No interest in this. It will be shallow and predictable and vile.
-
it all comes down to the writing and tension
-
Do she masturbate with a dreidel?
-
when we will ever see a teaser for The Hobbit??
-
He's on a roll today.
-
Looks like a grab bag of creepy imagery from a dozen other films.
-
I dont know why he's not kicking ass in this movie.
-
cruddy digital effects pull you right out of the action...

An exorcist rabbi takes on a dybbuk! Kineahora.

wow - real derivative looking...the deal breaker for me was "based on a true story" - fuck off...

at least the trailer didn't punch me i the face with a BBBBWWWAAAAAAAMMM and tell me the fingers in the throat didn't look creepy...
-
They almost lost me with "based on a true story" but playing up the science fiction angle on this looks like it could work well. Interesting.
-
Good, this looks very well made and watchable. Bad, I've seen this many, many times...
-
called THE MANITOU where a demon possessed a young woman and gestated in a tumor on her back. Body horror/demon possession. Pretty damn creepy!
-
And starts cleaning up his or her entire city. The hard way... Free idea. Get on it Hollywood.
-
"Old Testament Rules."
-
Genius sir! "Time for Gabriel to blow his horn...bitch!"
-
And that Denny Duquette guy, too.
-
of Lesions and Sores.
-
A normal, happy, young brunette girl gradually displays strange behavior, then gets overtaken by evil spirits, as her terrified parent turns to doctors, then religion to cure her. What a fantastically original premise.
-
the music in the trailer was effective and awesome. Like others have said, it looks well made, but it doesn't do enough to rise above the pack.
-
......for what will no doubt be a crappy movie.
-
Automatic Oscar if they did that.
-
You mean like other than the teaser that was released like four months ago?
-
I'm so sick of that cliche.
