Some pretty good gore and an interesting idea for a movie, but it kinda falls flat on the 3rd act.

I'm not a gore hound so I found the violence wildly disgusting. However, this is exactly the sort of sci-fi concept that tickles my fancy, and it has atmosphere in spades. And a compelling lead performance from Christopher Abbott.

This movie keeps getting into my head since I've seen it, and that's something I'm very happy to say about this one in particular. It's thought-provoking, moody, dark, and both physically and spiritually gruesome.

Some interesting scifi concepts and subtle worldbuilding (almost reminded me of the first John Wick in that way) in service of a kind of psychological thriller under which beats the heart of more or less a slasher film. Only real problem for me was pretty much zero connection with the main character or most others. Didn’t really care at all what happened to her, which is a legitimate way to tell a story but an obstacle for me in a thriller context.

Definitely a thoughtful movie about layered identities and the blurred power between different agents. This is definitely begging to have a queer analysis done to it, for the symbolic content is very apparent. I enjoyed the meditative pace, but something feels unfinished or not compelling in the execution of this film.

Some new classic of body horror and haute couture style. Dystopia and dysmorphia intermingled with gushing, flowing blood. Murder and suicide as corporate entities. The world as a nihilistic, post-modern house of glass. Something to be put in a chic NYC art gallery, served with salmon and avocado. Count me somewhat impressed, despite my disgust with it.

The vacuous nihilism of 1990s postmodernism, today! There is no privacy, no will, no identity. Brandon Cronenberg keeping it classy like an acutely depressed P. K. Dick who rose from the grave to give one last peculiarly rancorous cautionary tale on technology. Black Mirror is some utopian idealism in comparison to the murky depth of self-loathing and disassociation that is this movie. To watch this film, make like a simulacrum (i.e., meme) and dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed.

It doesn't shock me that the son of the guy who made Cosmopolis & Eastern Promises made this. Brandon has adopted his father's detachment and penchant for high violence. I dig this premise and the idea of suffering from a blurring of realities. Pretty cool visual sequences during and after the Tate possession. The atmosphere is really on point here but the end result isn't anything overly spectacular. It's just a solid, surface-level sci-fi thriller, with way more dick and sex than expected.

Fucked up take about who is actually in control of your life. With beautifully disturbing visuals and pretty mean gore effects, Brandon Cronenberg paints a nasty futuristic horror Sci-Fi picture for the ages. Though definitely not for all ages.

Brandon Cronenberg's second feature film is completely nihilistic and grim as hell. A warning about the continued sophistication of technology and our inability to separate ourselves from our work both have clear paths from his father's work. The synth score and dazzling practical effects are both haunting and make for a difficult viewing. Not for the faint of heart.

If Antiviral was Brandon Cronenberg's Dead Ringers, then Possessor is his Scanners. Full of big, bold ideas and executed with plenty of style and gore. I was left wanting much more on a character level, and the script was asking for another draft or two, but the end result is still absolutely worth watching. Hopefully, we don't have to wait another 8 years for the next Brandon Cronenberg film

Estava ansiosa por esse e valeu mesmo a pena, body horror de primeira linha e sei que é chover no molhado, mas este Cronenberg não deve nada ao pai, nem sempre filhos de grandes diretores herdam talento o suficiente, mas esse aqui tá com o futuro garantido. Plus: Dessa vez o Sean Bean não morre, mas provavelmente é a suposta morte mais terrível de sua carreira. Full Blu-ray UNCUT EATDIK

When nepotism succeeds. Cronenberg Jnr has arguably made the kind of film his father would've in his body horror heyday, but with an updated technological sense and a heightened conspiratorial essence. An absolutely lean film, with mild twists and turns that aren't too jarring, but keep you alarmed and engaged all the way through right up to the end, all the while conveying a smart, but certainly not forced examination of the psychological effects of vicarious violence.

This is going to be polarizing. While I’d say I liked it, I can certainly see why many would hate it. I thought it looked great visually, and the premise is both intriguing and terrifying, just thinking about someone you know being possessed by a stranger. The pacing is slow, the transition shots can be a bit too artsy and drawn out, and it’s pretty brutal, so all of that may be a deal breaker for some.

You'd be forgiven for thinking David Cronenberg is lying in a pod somewhere as his son's body goes to producer's meetings and sells them on themes of gender and identiy. Dad's face smirks as his son's body informs them that the gore, nudity and practical effects are necessary, really. And they're not even lying. Except then David wakes up and goes Damn, son, I never taught you THAT.

Possessor, bu sene yaşadığım en tarif edilemez deneyim. Yavaş yanıp, emin adımlarla ilerliyor ve doruk noktasına bambaşka bir hazla varıyor. Görselliğiyle büyüleyen bir şölen, hikayesinin kan donduran soğukluğuyla iliklerinize işleyen unutulmaz bir kabus. Şimdilik yılın en iyisi, yıl sonunda ise kesinlikle "yılın en iyi filmleri" arasında olacak.

in a hipper alternate universe where malls are still a thing and Spencer Gifts is still cool, Deformed Andrea Riseborough POSSESSOR masks are in stock and all the edgy kids went as Deformed Andrea Riseborough in POSSESSOR for Halloween and I gave them all the good candy.

I didn't like Possessor. With lacklustre action, artsy (or pretentious) shots & tedious dialogue; it's the frustratingly bad characters that are detrimental to the film. The intro sets up the premise well, but the following scene with Leigh & Riseborough is indicative of the tone the film takes. Whether Cronenberg's writing, direction or Abbott's performance, the film fails to conjures interest or sympathy. If the theme was the dissolution of humanity, they're must be better films out there.
