Possessor

Phenomenal! This is body horror at its absolutely best. Do not believe the rating this movie has here on Trakt.

So few horror movies really horrify. Possessor really horrifies.

Possessor is not for the weak or the innocent. Brandon Cronenberg manages to portray violence with such weight that it crushes and psychological horror with such intensity that it throbs. The visual depictions of abstract ideas are brilliant and powerful. A brutal and distressing film that will invade your own pysche with force.

I know there's not much that actually came out in 2020, but even without that caveat this was easily a favorite of this year. Brandon Cronenberg has created a heady mix of sci-fi, body horror, and espionage lathered with numerous questions about identity and self. I left this film feeling full of questions, as well as a bit squeamish as it pushed on some my existential buttons. I would recommend this, quite highly, especially if you're looking for something that might keep your head spinning for a few days.

This would have been a lot better if they had done some more world building, showing how this enterprise came to be and explore other possibilites of that body possessing machine. The ending also felt rushed.

[spoiler]Voss’s job failed colin’s mission on purpose in order to fully prepare her to succeed her handler. They had to implant a receptor into her son in order to possess him, so they planned well in advance.. This is actually a movie about how work feels entitled to (possess?) your life [/spoiler]

Good movie, great atmosphere and a visually interesting way of representing the character’s dissociation, without falling into Hollywood clichés.

Not an action movie, so, if you’re dumb as a Mellon, maybe don’t watch it.

I loved this movie. Possessor is visually striking, dark, superbly acted, cerebral, gory, and sometimes disturbing.

genuinely such an interesting film to watch, i love the editing especially. but i don't think that's a new compliment for this film. (i will work with Christopher Abbot one day)

I’ve never been so confused yet intrigued at the same time. Well done!
