The Possession of Michael King
A skeptical filmmaker, determined to debunk the supernatural, becomes the target of a terrifying evil force when he subjects himself to occult rituals in his quest to expose the paranormal as a lie.
“If you invite it in, it will never let you go.”
Synopsis
The film follows documentary filmmaker Michael King (played by Shane Johnson), who does not believe in God or the Devil. After the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the supernatural, positioning himself at the center of the experiment by allowing demonologists, necromancers, and other practitioners of the occult to perform the most intense and dark spells and rituals they can find on him. His goal is to prove, through their failure, that religion, spiritualism, and the paranormal are nothing more than myths. However, something does happen—an evil and horrifying force takes over Michael King, and it does not let him go.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
