Possessor-Header

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Brandon Cronenberg continues to delve into body tourism, this time through the eyes of professional assassin Tasya Vos, a woman who has perhaps put her own personality on ice one time too many.
  • Rich Cline @ Shadows on the Wall
    • Excerpt: The film’s unsettling tone and pulsing pace are darkly riveting, and the inventiveness of the premise makes it impossible to predict.
  • Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
    • Excerpt: It’s a gnarly and relentlessly brutal assault on the senses, filled with nightmarish imagery and concepts that are brought to screen with plenty of style and atmosphere to spare.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: This is more of a warning than a review.
  • [New] | Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
    • Excerpt: “Possessor” is not going to be for all eyes, but it is a disturbing and thrillingly unpredictable piece of work.
  • [New] | Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
  • Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
    • Excerpt: One of the most harrowing and provocative horror films of the decade.
  • Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
    • Excerpt: One of the freakiest, most diabolical sci-fi thrillers in some time.
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: Consciousness and flesh merge together until faces are crushed and worn in a fever dream of memories transformed into nightmares.
  • Eddi Pasa @ DC Filmdom
  • Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
    • Excerpt: With its good performances, excellent visual design, and all the blood and gore you could ask for, Brandon Cronenberg’s ‘Possessor’ is a thrilling, engaging experience that succeeds in getting under your skin.
  • Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
    • Excerpt: Dark in the best/worst way, and will satisfy your desire for soul-freezing chills.
  • [New] | Josh Taylor @ The Forgetful Film Critic
    • Excerpt: The straight horror elements of the movie may have been gratuitous, but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t also hold me in a kind of sick fascination. As a mind-bending work of imaginative and disturbing science-fiction, you’d be hard pressed to find anything this year more effective than Possessor.
