The Possession of Michael King
Movie • 2014 • Horror
ReportSynopsis
The film tells the story of documentary filmmaker Michael King (Shane Johnson), who doesn’t believe in God or the Devil. Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural, making himself the center of the experiment – allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him – in the hopes that when they fail, he’ll once and for all have proof that religion, spiritualism, and the paranormal are nothing more than myth. But something does happen. An evil and horrifying force has taken over Michael King. And it will not let him go.

Main character wasn't raised per se, but he was definitely sexually assaulted. It happens when he goes to the basement in the demonologists house early in the movie

A man describes being sexually abused by his father as a child. It’s not very graphic but may be triggering for some.

Towards the end of the film, after Michael has watched the video of Sam telling him she loves him, he attempts suicide several times, one of which is him swallowing multiple bottles of pills.

Once Michael is possessed, there will always be a large ant on or near him. They're shown a few times in groups/swarms.

There are MULTIPLE suicide attempts made that could be jarring because of how many there are in succession.

There is a story about one early. Nothing is shown and it’s not graphically discussed. But it’s there.
And the main character fondles his sister in her sleep.
