The Possession of Michael King Release Date Announced

It's difficult to be scared of what you don't believe in. Michael King, a documentary filmmaker whose wife has just died, has no belief in an afterlife and thus feels no fear when it comes to exploring the supernatural. He's all too willing to tempt dark paranormal forces during the making of his latest film, and he'll learn the hard way that supernatural forces not only exist, but are capable of great evil.

Anchor Bay Films' upcoming horror movie The Possession of Michael King will be adding some paranormal scares to the summer.

The Possession of Michael King is slated for an August 22nd theater release and a home media release on August 26th:

"Beverly Hills, CA, May 28, 2014 – Anchor Bay Films is proud to announce the release of the highly-anticipated, terrifying supernatural horror film THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING in theaters on August 22nd and available On iTunes, On Demand, DVD and Blu-ray on August 26th. THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING is an intense supernatural spine-tingler from the producers of White Noise and The Haunting In Connecticut, directed by first time director David Jung, and starring Shane Johnson (Starz’ upcoming “Power”), Dale Dickey (Iron Man 3), Julie McNiven (TV’s “Supernatural”, “Mad Men”) and Tomas Arana (Guardians of the Galaxy). The film is written by David Jung and story by David Jung and Tedi Sarafian (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines).

The film tells the story of documentary filmmaker 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.

THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING was produced by Paul Brooks and executive produced by Scott Niemeyer and Guy Danella.
