Review of Possum (2018) by Billy S — 27 Dec 2018

If you want to be spoonfed mindless formulaic hollywood bullshit that lets you know when to be scared then this movie is not for you. The people giving 1/2 a star are brainless idiots incapable of thinking for themselves or focusing their attention for longer than 5 minutes if they need to use their imagination and interpret a movie in their own way.

This is a brilliant but disturbing & bleak film. A descent into the troubled mind of the lead character Phillip who is absolutely outstanding in this role. The use of the puppet as metaphor for dark secrets/skeletons in the closet works well but as I said above some people are incapable of personal interpretation in this way as they are used to being spoon-fed mindless garbage. Its creepy horror done in the way only the brits can do not cheap jump scares/gore US style. I had to try twice because the first time I found it very uncomfortable to watch and I stopped but the second time I watched the entire thing and loved it.
