Possessor
Directed by Brandon Cronenberg
From the visionary mind of writer director Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral), Possessor is a game-changing sci-fi thriller about elite, corporate assassin Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough, Mandy). Using brain-implant technology, Vos takes control of other people's bodies to execute high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment, Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her. Possessor features a stellar cast including Christopher Abbott (It Comes at Night, The Sinner), Rossif Sutherland (Guest of Honour), Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey), Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight). A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

It started a little slow but it came around and was definitely worth a watch. The description given by Shudder is a little vague so I was expecting something a little different but it more than satisfied the sci-fi horror i was looking for. I had to let this one breath til it gave me something to understand... A little trippy, too, with the music and scenes.
40mins into it n still bored as f**k..the idea of is interesting but poorly executed
If while watching a film at home I feel compelled to stand up and go "What the fuck" it is usually a good indicator of my investment in what I'm seeing. Possessor made me do that twice. I cannot wait to see Infinity Pool.
Neither original nor exciting
Brilliant film! Could have been a bit more character building but I probably prefer it to anything Cronenberg Sr has done. Stylish, tense and some really shocking practical effects used
