Michael King (Shane Johnson), who doesn't believe in God or the Devil. Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural, making himself the center of the experiment - allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him - in the hopes that when they fail, he'll once and for all have proof that religion, spiritualism, and the paranormal are nothing more than myth. But something does happen. An evil and horrifying force has taken over Michael King. And it will not let him go. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

David Jung’s début, The Possession of Michael King, is another addition to the growing family of mockumentaries about possessions, not exactly J*A*S*M’s favourite sub-genre. After the spooky stories of James Wan (the tales of the Warrens), the horrors of Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), and the activities of Orren Peli, the Community of Horror Fans is saturated with the trend in modern spooky stories. But, overall, The Possession of Michael King, father of Ellie King and husband of Samantha King, is an example of solid horror and also a reminder of the excessive use of that silly attribute in the form of a name that says nothing in the title of a horror film. The Demon of Ferdy the Ant is cool.

A relatively functional idea with solid execution that maintains a chilling atmosphere until the end. I liked it, but it needed something more for a higher rating. 60%

The Possession of Michael King isn't a great film, nor is it a captivating horror, but its execution makes it above average within the found footage genre. There are scenes here that can scare you, but mostly there are scenes that will disgust you. Yet horror can function in this way as well. As someone skeptical about found footage, this is one of those shining examples that occasionally approaches it in a different and somewhat innovative way.
