The Possession - Official Trailer (2012) [HD]... And My Thoughts

I was highly looking forward to the “The Possession”. I’m always up for a good devil/demon takes over someone’s soul type of thing. And when MPAA gave “The Possession” a R-Rating for "violence, terror and disturbing images" I was even more excited.

But then it happened.

Yep. You guessed it. The studio fucktards-in-charge went and re-cut the film to give it a (CRINGE!) a fucking PG-13 rating and in essence cutting the balls off of what should have been one scary ass ride.

Not to say that it won’t still be good. There have been the occasional PG-13 flicks that didn’t completely suck ass.

“The Possession” follows Jeffery Dean Morgan (“Watchmen”, “Magic City”), a divorced dad who one day takes his daughter to a garage sale where she buys a box. Unfortunately, said box contains a malicious ancient spirit. (Go figure) When the daughter starts get more creepy each day, Clyde Brenek (Morgan) enlists the help of his ex-wife and mother, played by Kyra Sedgwick, of the possessed girl to help him save their daughter. As you can imagine things go from bad to worse from there.

Supposedly based on true story (aren’t they all) of a Jewish myth called "Dybbuk" which is a folklore of malevolent and malicious spirit of a dislocated soul because they have been turned away from the afterlife for some sort of serious transgressions (suicide being one of them). Dybbuks are believed to inhabit bodies of the living to be able to fulfill something that they weren’t able to in life.
“The Possession” was originally entitled "Dybbukbox”.

Because of the PG-13 rating I am now on the fence about this one. But one never knows…
