Exorcism movies have attempted many times to make a comeback over the last twenty years, and most the time the results were met with poor box office returns and pissed off horror fans. Call us crazy, but the upcoming film The Possession may be the golden goose Hollywood has been seeking.

Forget for a second the idea of exorcism and all the snore-inducing mythos that surrounds the concept because The Possession is far more concerned with where the real money lies: Scary fucking demons. Read the synopsis, then click past the jump and strap in – it’s going to get wild.

PLOT: “A terrifying story of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde (Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.”

The Possession opens August 31.
