10 Possession Movies You Need To Watch If You Liked The Exorcist
4. The Possession
The Possession is a supernatural horror that was released in 2012. Directed by Ole Bornadel, it follows the story of a young girl whose behaviour changes dramatically after her dad purchases a gift for her from an estate sale – an old and unusual box (which turns out to be a Jewish Dybbuk box, housing a negative energy).
After some time of the box being in the family household, strange phenomena begins to occur, and it isn't too long before the young girl, named Em (played by Natasha Calis) begins to become effected by the demonic energy. As it says in the title, she becomes possessed by whatever malignant energy remains attached to the box. The film is dark, engaging and scary in all the right places.
Interestingly, The Possession is said to be based on true-life events, in which a haunted box was sold on eBay and was said to have brought bad luck and paranormal events to the buyer. A book was released in 2011, called Dybbuk Box, which was written by Jason Haxton.
