Original schedule for release in October, the Sam Raimi-produced Dibbuk Box was moved to January 6th 2012 and now has the title of The Possession. Directed by Ole Bornedal and starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick, The Possession involves the purchase of a wooden box that contains a dibbuk:

"A recently divorced father's youngest daughter becomes strangely connected to an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. As his daughter's behavior becomes more erratic, the father senses a dark presence building until he discovers that the box was built to contain a dibbuk -- a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host."
