The Possession of Michael King Ratings & Reviews
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
The Possession of Michael King is unlikely to terrify genre fans, but it's got a consistent sense of tension, strong atmosphere and a lead actor who really makes you fear for his character. It's not brilliant, but for what it aims to do, it's good.
The Script Lab
Nguyên Lê
If it isn't the love child of Paranormal Activity and The Last Exorcism! On paper it's interesting, but the end result is anything but.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Potentially intriguing questions about faith and organized religion are quickly jettisoned in favor of cheap scare tactics and formulaic gore.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
When a premise is juicy enough and the accompanying script is good enough, it can go a long way in smoothing over certain irksome deficiencies. For that matter, so can a host of legitimately earned scares.
Variety
Justin Chang
Nowhere near as rigorous as the "Paranormal Activity" movies it superficially resembles, writer-director David Jung's increasingly unpleasant, rarely frightening debut feature won't possess screens for long.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
Why would a possessed Michael continue to operate the camera or even turn on night vision? You simply can't capitalize on a filmmaking fad by shortchanging the audience.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Jung's film goes through all the machinations of a found footage possession film with about as much creative spark as an apathetic teen checking off a list in a film class that he hates.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Conventional horror that doesn't scare or provoke thought about the afterlife. It's a brick of clichs, repellent characterization, and bad acting.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Dim in wits and lighting, "The Possession of Michael King" strains our eyes, spits on our intelligence and saps our generosity of spirit.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
The Possession of Michael King is nothing new, but it gets the job done.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
...if The Possession Of Michael King had embraced its movie-ness, it might've said something powerful about what it's like to be Michael King.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"The Possession of Michael King" is more scary than original.
Chicago Daily Herald
Dann Gire
Here comes another in a long line of generic "found footage" films that only halfheartedly embraces the "found" documentary format popularized by the breakthrough 1999 horror tale The Blair Witch Project.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
After an efficient start, The Possession Of Michael King drags, weighing itself down with genre conventions the filmmakers don't seem to understand or care about.
Village Voice
Rob Staeger
It's a testament to director David Jung's smart script and Shane Johnson's performance that Michael King's decisions seem largely free of horror-movie logic - the stubborn refusal to acknowledge danger, an insistence on going it alone.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
The Possession Of Michael King is a surprisingly enjoyable "Possession Movies With People's Names In The Title" genre entry that has me super excited to see what writer/director David Jung will do next.
