Delivery: The Beast Within attempts psychological horror on a realistic scale – well, as realistic as fake reality television can be – but in attempting to blur the lines between a Hellish pregnancy and deeply-rooted mental insanity, writer/director Brian Netto creates a found footage horror film without much intrigue or flavor. Mokumentary horror films are no longer a dime a dozen, and while a film like The Possession Of Michael King finds fresh, frantic new ways to introduce horrific scares, Delivery: The Beast Within feels lifeless, repetitive, and frustratingly underwhelming. It’s possible to find ways to inject genre craziness into films favoring a human vibe, but Netto would rather make demonic possession just a suggested afterthought, going the route of an even further watered-down Paranormal Activity copycat – minus a creeping sense of unnerving terror.

The Possession of Michael King follows in the rich tradition of “possession” films (like The Possession of David O’Reilly, 2010; The Possession, 2012) in exploring demonic possession through generally “authentic” means. In Michael King’s case, the authenticity is derived by Michael’s (Shane Johnson) documentarian skills, which capitalize on the amateur camera trend in horror films today. At least in this case, Johnson is a handsome man who makes for an attractive subject at the center of the film—that is, until, his demonic possession drives him haggard.

Discovering the true emotional motivations of captivating characters, and how they relate to the other anti-heroes and troubled protagonists in a story, can be an exciting and captivating experience for actors to explore. Versatile and enchanting actress Julie McNiven powerfully explores the passionate depths of her characters’ complex relationships, which she previously began to do in the horror genre her recurring role as fallen angel, Anna Milton, in 2008 on the hit series, ‘Supernatural.’ The performer also naturally embraced how her character related to the troubled characters around her in her new independent found footage horror movie, ‘The Possession of Michael King,’ the first feature film from writer-director David Jung.

NBC is developing a new supernatural series called The Possession of Maggie Gill, not to be confused with other "possession" fare like The Possession of David O'Reilly and, recently, The Possession of Michael King.
THR says this one comes from Amblin Television and, at the time of this writing, the network has only committed to a script so far. So this may or may not go to series. John Glenn is writing.

The Possession of Michael King is definitely a different kind of film. Yes, it is "found footage," and yes, it is also a possession film, but it is also more than the sum of its parts.
This is a film that wants to take you on a dark journey that start with the sun setting on a life and never really rising again. It wants the viewer to confront their thoughts on what lies beyond and it doesn't pull any punches. (Read my review here.)
Shock Till You Drop recently spoke with writer/director David Jung about the film. His thoughts behind it, what it takes to summon a demon, and what he hopes you'll take with you when you leave the theater.

The Possession of Michael King isnt the greatest possession film in existence and it isnt the greatest film to see release this year. However its vastly superior to most other possession flicks and it stands up fairly well from the found footage perspective as well. Viewers should find some pleasure in a few unnerving scenes and a few gory sequences and the lack of CG work (it exists but it isnt remotely near as abused as it is in features like Grave Encounters for example) is a big point winner as well. To be succinct The Possession of Michael King far surpasses expectations and earns a solid recommendation from me.

Religion is something that we are raised with. It often isn't a choice until later in life, The Possession of Michael King Reviewwhen we've grown up enough to ask the really important questions. Some believe in a higher power, others don’t. But should we ever challenge these unseen forces? What would the consequences of doing so be? This is the thread that sets into motion the dark and ugly world in the film The Possession of Michael King.

Chicago – The problem with most horror films is that they don’t understand what really scares us, and substitute bloody messes or the jack-in-the-box “boo!” instead of what really gets under our skins. “The Possession of Michael King” is a rare and special exception, taking demonic possession to broad depths of psychological and religious symbolism.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
The story of a non-believer who seeks to make a film about proof of demonic possession has a full laundry list for that genre – the odd movements, the voices, the killings, the Church, the “found” video footage and the weird zealots aiding the possessed along the way. What it does differently with the material is in the context circumstance of extreme emotional distress, to the point that it all could be psychosomatic – fiercely so, but possible in the way its presented.

The Possession of Michael King
Directed by: David Jung
Cast: Shane Johnson, Ella Anderson, Julie McNiven
Running Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: August 22, 2014 (Chicago)
Plot: After his wife is killed, a husband and father (Johnson) films himself trying to summon a demon to prove whether spirits are or aren’t real.
Who’S It For? Those who like bad horror movies, or are interested in seeing the latest horror movie with the word “possession” in its title.
Overall
The Possession of Michael King begins with a dead-horse stance, raging against the scam of fortune tellers. This thesis is simultaneously groan-worthy and emblematic foreshadowing of this juvenile horror film’s whiny angst, in which a man deduces that the fulfillment of his late wife’s tarot reading means that he must investigate the existence of spirits.

You can’t fling a dead crow in a Best Buy these days without hitting some type of “found footage” possession movie, ever since the overnight success of Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity, and while most of these low-budget wannabes fail miserably in replicating true paranormal horror, a select few shining examples make all the underwhelming watches worthwhile. Well, Ok, almost worthwhile – have you ever seen Paranormal Entity for the love of Pete?!
David Jung’s The Possession Of Michael King happens to be one of those under-the-radar examples of truly unnerving demonic horror, mixing ample doses of religious slighting and Satanic ball-busting in a way that actually becomes horrific instead of brutishly fratty. I found myself involved in the story of Michael King (played by Shane Johnson), an unfortunate man who embarks on an ill-advised journey to prove that there are no greater powers above, below, or around us.

“The monster… it’s you, daddy.” Despite caring for his daughter, documentary filmmaker Michael King doesn’t think he has anything left to lose. His wife has died, he doesn’t believe in the supernatural, and in his latest film he’s out to prove his disbelief as an indisputable fact… using himself as the test subject. In The Possession of Michael King, the titular character learns that paranormal evil is all too real, and the movie’s first trailer shows Michael undergoing bloody-eyed transformations.

Michael King (Shane Johnson) doesn’t believe in God or The Devil. Following the sudden death of his wife, the documentary filmmaker decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural. Michael decides to make 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.

Anchor Bay Films is hard at work in France, having just acquired the rights to the David Jung-directed The Possession of Michael King at Cannes. The feature directorial debut of Jung, the thriller follows a widower who delves into the occult following the death of his wife.
Starring Dale Dickey, Tomas Arana, Ella Anderson, and Julie McNiven, the Gold Circle Films production is yet another film that seeks to keep the “possession” sub-genre alive and well.
Evp of Acquisitions Kevin Kasha has clearly noticed their popularity, stating “Audiences love possession films, and this one is filled with all the thrills they’re known for.”
This, of course, says nothing about the incredibly common and increasingly frustrating ”The Haunting/Possession of…” trend, but personal quibbles aside, it’s always great to see horror represented and making headway at Cannes.
