''The Possession of Michael King'' is a 2014 American FoundFootage [[HorrorFilms horror film]] written and directed by David Jung. Michael King is a recent widower and atheist who is dealing with his wife's recent death by trying to disprove the supernatural [[IdiotBall by inviting demons to possess him]]. Unsurprisingly, this goes badly. Soon, he realizes he's in over his head, hearing voices among the constant static in his head, the only question remaining isn't whether demonic forces exist, but how he can get them out of him.
!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
----
* ApocalypticLog: While the producers made no bones about it being fictional, the ostensible setting is that these are the films that Michael made, first to disprove the supernatural, then to warn others that it is real.
* BadBlackBarf: Near the end, the demons make Michael do this to rid himself of all of the pills he tried to swallow to commit suicide.
* DealWithTheDevil: Father Gibbons claims to have made one in his childhood, asking the Devil to free him from his father's abuse. His father keeled over form a heart attack and Father Gibbons started hearing voices telling what he needed to do.
* DemonicPossession: Michael inviting this upon himself is the foundation of the movie.
* DestinationDefenestration: When Michael briefly regains hold of himself near the end of the movie, he does this to avoid hurting his daughter, Ellie.
* HollywoodSatanism: Partway through the film, Michael visits a set of proclaimed satanists who check off all of the boxes from the all-black clothing to the sex rituals to the stereotypical costumes. Near the end, when Michael goes to them to have the demon cast out, they claim it's all just a scam, that they indeed took all of their trappings from movie portrayals.
* NeckLift: Done by Michael to his sister Beth near the end.
* NeckSnap: Quickly follows the NeckLift.
* {{Necromancer}}: Michael meets up with one, who has a day job as a funeral director, and arranges for an experience. Among other things, he has his first experience of being contacted by his dead wife.
* OminousVisualGlitch: Common in the shots. Unusually for the genre, the characters comment on some of them and don't immediately discount them as being glitches.
