In addition to the film’s official site at www.thepossessionmovie.com, which includes a look at the ‘true story’ behind the film, Lionsgate has released a new still from its late-summer horror offering, The Possession.

The film starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, Madison Davenport and Natasha Calis, and centers on a family who find themselves in possession of a haunted box and their struggles to get rid of its evil curse.

The supernatural thriller is a retelling of Los Angeles Times writer Leslie Gornstein’s article ‘Jinx in a Box’.

Award-winning Danish filmmaker Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch) directed a horror thriller which was formerly known as Dibbuk Box; Juliet Snowden and Stiles White (Boogeyman) wrote the script.

The Possession hit theaters August 31st, 2012.

Get a glimpse at Morgan, Sedgwick and Davenport fighting in this still and check the site out for a schmear of fear.

After purchasing an old box at a yard sale, a young girl, Em (Natasha Calis), is obsessed with opening it, although her father says it appears to have been designed not to open. Em begins to exhibit bizarre and violent behavior. Since her parents recently divorced, her initial actions go without much notice, but Em’s behavior soon becomes more and more extreme.

Fearing for their daughter, Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) make various attempts – from brain scans to consulting rabbis – to discover what the supernatural force behind the box is, what it wants, and how to keep it from destroying Em.
