A new motion poster has landed online for the Sam Raimi-produced horror film The Possession. The film centers on a young girl who acquires an antique box at a yard sale, but sheâs unaware that the box contains an evil spirit. Weâve already been creeped out by a fairly disturbing first poster for the pic, and this new motion poster throws a bounty of insects into the equation to double down on the horror factor. The filmâs trailer provided a promising dose of non-found footage scares and a genuinely chilling atmosphere, so hereâs hoping director Ole Bornedalâs full film delivers.Hit the jump to check out the poster. The film stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, and Natasha Calis. The Possession opens on August 31st.Hereâs the official synopsis for The Possession:

But as Emâs 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.
