The flick centers upon a family who finds themselves in possession of a haunted box and their struggles to get rid of its evil curse. The jumping off point is a true story culled from the Leslie Gornstein-bylined Los Angeles Times article “A Jinx In A Box” (July 2004).

Look for Ole Bornedal’s The Possession starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, Madison Davenport, and Natasha Calis in theatres on August 31st, 2012.

Synopsis
Based on true events, ‘The Possession’ is the terrifying story of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde (Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.

In Burnt Offerings Marian and her husband Ben decide to spend their summer being the caretakers of a Victorian mansion in the countryside. In viewing the elaborate house and meeting the owners, the Allardyce siblings, the couple are torn in impression. Ben is wary about the low price to watch the house and the responsibility of watching over their elderly mother that comes with, where as Marian is entranced by it’s august history and more than willing to take on the woman. With Marian’s side winning the couple move in with their son, Davy, and Ben’s Aunt Elizabeth. Their stay though doesn’t intend to be normal long as things begin to get strange very quickly. The first being that Marian has assumed much responsibility and delusion in being the watcher of Mrs. Allardyce, whom of which is never seen. As well as a deep love of the house itself and it’s ancient pieces. What may prove even more strange though is how the house’s broken interior and exterior is repairing itself parallel to when accidents start happening to the family.

I beg do all haunted house film start the same? It seems there’s no exception as a move to a new house always asks the question, is it haunted? There’s few films that really are the embodiment of the word creepy and I’ll attribute Burnt Offerings to be one of them. Among moments the pool scene, the funeral chauffeur (forget that smile), and the ending are quite disquieting. The film relies on the suspense, as that’s generally what it consist of, not too many scary or horrifying moments happen until the very last five minutes. But the suspense locks you, when Ben walks up the stairs to Mrs Allardyce rooms in the final moments of the film it’s nearly too much to bare.

Bette Davis is a delight, her little presence on screen is more than enough to satisfy. The house has direct effect to Ben and Marian and for the most part ignores Davy. As Marian becomes more blissful in the house it quickly wears on Ben. She proves as an annoyance as her overtly joyful disposition and almost ignorance to the horrors of the house grows. However Karen Black does it well and does feel very lost in the grand house. She’s also a tantalizing mix of beautiful and scary as she becomes the caretaker. Oliver Reed is also good as Ben, though Ben has that unfortunate bend as being a victim to the house and is often yelling about the odd happenings that occur. The film has a foggy grain about its images which creates a musty feel to the house and the air about it. The score seems to disappear as the film treads on but in the beginning it was a good chill for the scenes of tension.

The film runs a bit long, especially for it’s short climax. A lot of people probably won’t tolerate the slow build and will give in before the ending, which was the best part of the film. I felt the hints in which Stephen King picked up from for his novel The Shinning, that obsession of being the caretaker of the house bowers both Marian and Jack Torrance. As well as in his teleplay for Rose Red, especially in how the house repairs itself but not in the remittance of blood. It starts as a typical haunted house film but changes game mid way and comes into its own. Like The Shinning it’s madness that haunts the family, not ghost, giving it a fresh and unique feel to the sub-genre.  I enjoyed Burnt Offerings as it was recommended to me by our editor Sam Santiago, but I do not think its for everyone. You must be patient with it’s build or you’ll miss a really great ending.

Swedish black metal legends DARK FUNERAL and Century Media Records are proud to announce the signing of a worldwide deal for the next 3 albums.

From left to right: Lord Ahriman (guitars), Dominator (drums), Jens Prueter (Head Of A&R at Century Media Records Europe), Zornheym (bass), Nachtgarm (vocals), Chaq Mol (guitars)

Guitarist and founding member Lord Ahriman comments: “Our bad luck with labels in the past has for sure been very frustrating. So it is with great pleasure to finally be able to turn the page, move on and start a new dark chapter in the DARK FUNERAL saga, as we join the great Century Media family. Century Media has more than enough proven to be a stable and highly professional label. And we are totally looking forward to this new cooperation, which I’m sure will prove to be very satisfying and successful for both parts. Hail the goat!”

Jens Prueter, Head Of A&R at Century Media Records Europe, comments: “I always respected DARK FUNERAL for their endurance and integrity. They’ve gone through some hard times, but never gave up and also never gave in to compromise on their musical and aesthetic vision. Almost 20 years after their formation it’s still the same powerhouse of unmerciful black metal and the new line-up is stronger and more focused than in the past. Thanks to Lord Ahriman and the whole band! Looking forward to their 20th anniversary in 2013 with a new album In The Sign Of The Horns!”

Founded back in 1993 in the depths of Sweden by Lord Ahriman and Blackmoon, DARK FUNERAL has proven to be one of the leaders of the second wave of black metal among other legends such as MARDUK and DARKTHRONE. While other black metal bands lost themselves through the late 90′s / early 2000′s, DARK FUNERAL managed to remain faithful to their roots, be it musically, aesthetically and lyrically. After 5 albums, hundreds of live rituals, the band leaded by Lord Ahriman and now featuring Nachtgarm on vocals is ready to embark on a new satanic crusade with Century Media Records.

Expect nothing but pure black metal the way it was meant to be.
