There’s nothing more annoying to a horror fan than when a studio tries to edit a film down from its original state. After multiple submissions to the PSS, Lionsgate has finally received the PG-13 rating they wanted for Ole Bornedal’s The Possession, their dibbuk box-themed horror starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, Madison Davenport, and Natasha Calis.

The Classification and Rating Administration had assigned the movie an R for “violence, terror, and disturbing images” in October, prompting the minimajor to appeal back in November. The supernatural horror now has its PG-13 rating for “mature thematic material involving violence and disturbing sequences.”

In theaters August 31 “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.” READ MORE

The MPAA’s rating appeals board has upheld the “R” rating given to Lionsgate’s horror-thriller The Possession (formerly Dibbuk Box), the Sam Raimi Ghost House Pictures-produced supernatural horror starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kyra Sedgwick, Madison Davenport, and Natasha Calis.

The Classification and Rating Administration had assigned the movie an R for “violence, terror, and disturbing images” in October, prompting the minimajor to appeal.

Directed by Ole Bornedal, it will arrive in theaters August 31, 2012, a far cry from the original January 6 date.

Anchor Bay has provided us with a hi-res image gallery and a third clip for Texas Killing Fields, the Ami Canaan Mann-directed thriller arriving in limited theaters on October 14.

Directed by Ami Canaan Mann, daughter of acclaimed Director Michael Mann, the thriller is inspired by true events and “follows a local homicide detective (Sam Worthington) in a small Texan town and his partner, a transplanted cop from New York City (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims’ mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call ‘The Killing Fields.’

The killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When a familiar local girl, Anne (Chloe Grace Moretz) goes missing the detectives find themselves in a race against time to find the killer and save her life.”

Starring Let Me In and Kick-Ass‘ Chloe Grace Moretz, alongside Terminator: Salvation and Clash of the Titans star Sam Worthington, it’s hard to ignore Anchor Bay Films’ forthcoming Texas Killing Fields, the Ami Canaan Mann-directed thriller arriving in limited theaters on October 14.

In MTV’s first clip from the movie, watch as Anne (Moretz), a local girl from a troubled home, goes head-to-head against Detective Heigh, who’s clearly concerned for her safety. But based on her talk–and true to Moretz form–it seems like Anne can take care of herself just fine… but looks, as they say, can be deceiving.
