The Possession (Bilingual)

Description: Product OverviewFormat: DVD Jan. 15 2013Based on a true story, The Possession is the terrifyingaccount of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of anunspeakable evil. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (KyraSedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomesoddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But asEm’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of amalevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built tocontain a Dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours itshuman host. ----------------Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) et Stephanie Brenek(Kyra Sedgwick) ne voient aucune raison de s’inquiéter lorsque leur fillecadette, Em, devient bizarrement obsédée par un coffre de bois antique achetédans une vente-débarras. Mais quand le comportement de l’enfant gagne enétrangeté, les parents commencent à craindre la présence d’une forcemalveillante. Ils découvrent alors que le coffre a été conçu pour enfermer unDibbouk, un démon qui occupe le corps de son hôte humain pour ensuite leconsumer. Amazon.ca If they know the word at all, most moviegoers willrecognize dibbuk (or dybbuk) from the philosophical gag that opened Joel andEthan Coen's brilliant comedy A Serious Man. Orthodox Jews know from theirreligion that a dibbuk is a spirit who wanders the world in form to haunt theliving, or perhaps to take their bodies in a version of demonic possession.The dibbuk box that a young (non-Jewish) girl finds at a yard sale isdefinitely holding a malevolent spirit looking for a human to help escape itsbanishment. It is also the creepy catalyst for another effects-heavy case ofHollywood possession and exorcism in The Possession. A recently divorcedcouple, Clyde and Stephanie (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) co-parenttwo bright daughters who share time at both their parents' houses. The youngerone, Em (Natasha Calis), seems to be called by the strange box covered withHebrew letters. When she takes it home to Daddy's house, it opens of its ownaccord in the night, casting a spell on her that becomes progressively moredisconcerting until it ultimately possesses her completely. As much as itcauses her harm (which Stephanie initially interprets as abuse by Clyde), shemust always be near it. It causes some truly unpleasant phenomena, includingan infestation of giant moths that swarm from her mouth, and later a ghastlyseries of physical horrors that unfold in a hospital morgue. Frantic for helpin saving his daughter, Clyde appeals to a conclave of Hassidic rabbis, whoall turn their back on the evil, save for one young man named Tzadok(Matisyahu), who feels duty bound to end the unleashed hell and get the dibbukback in the box. Though it easily falls into the burgeoning craze of graphicexorcism and possession horror flicks, The Possession stands out for itsconsistent attention to serious detail and is aided by strong performances allaround. Morgan and Sedgwick are believable and sympathetic as partners whostill love each other but need to be separate, even as their love for theirdaughters still binds them. Natasha Calis is pretty sensational in conveyingall the feelings of a typical 11-year-old, but also as a being overtaken by aforce that makes her psycho-crazy. As her 15-year-old sister Hannah, MadisonDavenport also gives a naturalistic and sometimes heart-rending read to herpart as confused, terrified observer. A practicing orthodox Jew and popularmusician in real life, Matisyahu brings a level of austerity and realism tohis compassionate presence as the only one who can help. The Possession is alegitimately hair-raising genre entry, with real drama and enough effectsgrotesqueries to keep fanboys as well as the less fanatic aficionados happy.Note: In addition to a commentary track with the director, the disc alsoincludes a featurette that examines the "based on a true story" epigraph.Apparently there is an actual dibbuk box, but it's far more benign than thefictionalized movie version. --Ted Fry P.when('A').execute(function(A) {A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) {window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); SpecialFeatures Audio Commentary with Director Ole BornedalAudio Commentary withWriters Juliet Snowden and Stiles White"The Real History of the Dibbuk Box"featuretteTheatrical Trailer See moreDetailsGenre: HorrorFormat: NTSC, Dolby, Widescreen, Subtitled, Closed-captionedContributor: Kyra Sedgwick, Grant Show, Jay Brazeau, Leslie Gornstein, Madison Davenport, Ole Bornedal, Natasha Calis, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matisyahu, Juliet Snowden See moreLanguage: English, FrenchRuntime: 1 hour and 32 minutesIs discontinued by manufacturer ‏ : ‎ NoLanguage ‏ : ‎ English, FrenchParcel Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 18.03 x 13.76 x 1.48 cm; 81.65 GramsDirector ‏ : ‎ Ole BornedalMedia Format ‏ : ‎ NTSC, Dolby, Widescreen, Subtitled, Closed-captionedRun time ‏ : ‎ 1 hour and 32 minutesRelease date ‏ : ‎ Jan. 15 2013Actors ‏ : ‎ Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Natasha Calis, Kyra Sedgwick, Jay Brazeau, Madison DavenportLanguage ‏ : ‎ English (Dolby Digital 5.1)Studio ‏ : ‎ Lionsgate Home Entertainment
