"Dibbuk Box" becomes "Possession"

The highly thought of and talked about film "Dibbuk Box" has become "Possession". The Sam Raimi film is based on true events and is one that I am really looking forward to. I love demon possession films. Pea soup, body jerks and bug eatin' plus the ever present holy man screaming out his powers of christ or damnations of god. Those things make for compelling story telling. None quite reach "The Exorcist" status , except maybe "Stigmata" which I love love love! Anyway I am rambling. Can't wait to see this one....

Story based on a haunted box purchased on Ebay that brings bad fortune to its possessors. Eventually being passed from one person to the next and causing all sorts of torment.

The film is in the vein of The Exorcist or The Shining, based on real events that transpired after a family wound up in possession of a haunted box, setting off a harrowing struggle to rid themselves of the box's evil curse. The real-life box gained notoriety in 2004 when it sold on eBay after causing inexplicable bad fortune to its owners which were attributed to a dibbuk - a malevolent spirit of Jewish folklore trapped in the haunted box.

ALTERNATE: Morgan will star as a recently divorced father whose youngest daughter becomes strangely connected to an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. As his daughter's behavior becomes more erratic, the father senses a dark presence building until he discovers that the box was built to contain a dibbuk -- a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.
