The Possession
Inspired by Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein’s article “A Jinx in a Box,” this horror film tells the tale of a broken family, that comes under attack from a supernatural entity of Jewish folklore. Shortly after her parents (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) divorce, a young girl purchases an ornate antique box at a yard sale. In the weeks that follow, the young girl forms an intense fixation with the box. Her behavior grows increasingly bizarre as she falls into the grip of a diabolical apparition. When the girl’s father discovers that the relic is in fact a holding cell for the disconnected soul of a deceased person who has been denied entry into the afterlife, he fights to rid her of the evil that threatens to consume her body and soul.
