The Possession of Michael King  The Possession of Michael King is a 2014 American found footage horror film written and directed by David Jung, in his directorial debut, from a story by himself and Tedi Sarafian. The film had its world premiere on August 14, 2014 in Singapore and had a limited theatrical release in the United States on August 22 of the same year. It was released on to video on demand on August 26, 2014. It stars Shane Johnson as a widowed, atheist filmmaker who finds himself the target of demonic forces. Documentary maker Michael King does not believe in God, the devil, or any other supernatural existence. His wife Samantha believes the opposite. For many years she has visited medium Beverly for spiritual assistance. Samantha was killed in an accident in the United States, while Michael had wanted to travel with her in Europe at the time. Beverly, however, "foresaw" a major breakthrough in Samantha's attempt to become an actress and advised her to stay in America. Michael confronts Beverly with this. He asks her to admit that she plays false drama and has no contacts with anything at all. Beverly consoles him, but then asks him to leave. Michael struggles to pick up his life again after the death of Samantha. His sister Beth moves in with him to help him care for his daughter, Ellie. Michael decides to make a documentary to prove that there is no paranormal world or afterlife. He argues that such concepts can only be sustained out of human fear of nothingness, by a market that earns big money from it. From that starting point, Michael offers himself as a test subject for the heaviest, darkest supernatural rituals in which some other people believe. He places an advertisement on the internet where people can respond with suggestions for experiments to prove the opposite of his position. Cameraman Jordan will film everything he goes through, 24 hours a day. Michael assumes that he can show that there is nothing. If he is wrong, at least he becomes the first person ever with concrete evidence for the supernatural. There are hundreds of responses to his internet posting. The first of Michael's new internet contacts to visit him is a spiritual named Gibbons, who says that his father systematically sexually abused him in his youth. According to Gibbons, his father died of a heart attack shortly after he prayed to Satan for help. Coincidence, according to Michael. Then he orders stuff on the internet with which he could attempt to call demons. Nothing happens. That is why he visits self-proclaimed demonologist Augustine and his wife Marsha.
