The film's score was composed by Michael Richard Plowman, who created a chilling and haunting soundtrack that complements the movie's terrifying events.
The Possession was produced by Jaume Balagueró and Pablo Rosole Monferrer, who also co-produced the film with other producers. The movie was shot on location in California, USA, and the production team did an excellent job of creating a creepy and eerie atmosphere.
The plot follows ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan ) and his daughter Em , who is dealing with her parents' recent divorce. While at a yard sale, Em becomes obsessed with an antique wooden box. Unbeknownst to them, the box contains a Dybbuk , a malicious spirit from Jewish folklore that consumes its human host.

The Possession tells the story of a family who moves into a new home, unaware that it may be haunted by a malevolent spirit. The movie is based on the true story of the Anneliese Michel case, which occurred in 1976. The film follows the Perron family, who relocate to a beautiful old house on the outskirts of town. Soon, strange and terrifying events begin to occur, and they realize that their new home is possessed by a dark and malevolent entity.
Em attacks her sister at a family dinner. Her physical transformation is grotesque—veiny, pale, and hunched. When she speaks in the Dibbuk’s voice (dubbed beautifully in Hindi), she says, "Main tumhara ghar jala dunga" (I will burn your house down). It is a line that feels ripped from a desi horror film.
