Review of Possessor (2020) by Saintdabbercert — 17 Dec 2020
Made with this provocative enigmatic vision, Brandon Cronenberg takes you on a disturbed thrill ride. With an nearly over-the-top premise this film is extremely original and works well with it. Often I find this film fantastically disturbing if there was such a word to describe it.
I found myself unable to look away and often taken a back by the visceral nature of the violence you see in this film. Tasya Vos works for a secretive organization that utilizes brain-implant technology that allows her to take control of specific targeted hosts in order to carry out contract killings.
She’s found a specific niche in this field of work, that at times appears to have dramatic effects on her own psyche. As Tasya begins to lose control, she truly begins to struggle to suppress her own violent memories and has trouble controlling certain urges.
This specific host for whatever reason begins to resist the hold she has on him and thats when a power struggle ensues that may threaten both’s identities. The surreal and unsettling visuals makes this masterful sci-fi a very memorable experience.
