What is The Possession about? Toggle content

In "The Possession," a young girl named Em buys an antique wooden box at a yard sale, unaware that it contains a malevolent spirit. As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the box, her behavior becomes disturbing and violent, leading her parents to suspect that something supernatural is at work. They soon discover that the box is a dybbuk box, used to contain a powerful spirit that seeks to possess its host. The family must race against time to perform an exorcism and lock the dybbuk back in the box before it's too late. But when their efforts go awry, the spirit is passed from Em to her father, and they must fight for survival against this ancient evil force. Will they be able to defeat Abyzou, the Taker of Children, or will they become its next victims?
