The Possession of Michael D.

This is not the typical demonic possession horror-thriller - nothing like the Exorcist or other rip-offs. This film seems to be a more realistic take of what would happen if demonic possession was real - and I like that idea: a heavy dose of realism to go with the fantasy/horror aspect.

There are only a few times in the film you "see" what appears to be a demon inside him.. and the effects are good for a TV Movie of the 1990s. I think the tongue flick was pretty creepy! lol Over all this is a good possession movie, not typical at all, - it is not "out there" with the demon but, again, takes a bit more realistic approach for a very effective film.

8.5/10

This clip is not the most blood-gushing, intriguing, chainsawwaving movie of all times, but it has an eerie vibe, highlighted by small pieces of morphing fx here and there. I found myself grasping for air and moving around because of the nervous feeling it brought to me. The actors are great and when the movie has brought you into a false state of calm, it hits you in the face with really cool shock fx. I was a nervous wreck from the 10th minute to the end... Do not miss this one, and don't let the TV thing or the "Teleplay" scare you off. The movie itself will scare you s**tless :) Cheerz Teddybeer

i really enjoyed this movie.it's a movie about a man who,becomes possessed by an evil spirit.at the beginning we are told it is based on factual events,which is possible,but there's no way to verify that claim.for a made for TV,this 1 is quite well done.i think a big part of the reason for this is that the movie focuses more on the acting than than on big budget,bombastic special effects.the effects are low key,but well done.the movie also dwells on the psychological aspects of someone being posses and how they deal with it.the acting is very convincing,more so than in many movies of the genre,made for TV or not.i also like that you don't know the reason for the possession,and when the reason is revealed,it's somewhat surprising(at least for me,it was)the movie doesn't take the usual rouete travelled by most in the genre,which is refreshing.all in all,a very entertaining suspenseful,well acted movie.my vote:a strong 8/10
