Possessor, Brandon Cronenberg grabs the body-horror baton from his father, Videodrome director David Cronenberg, and rams it into the audienceโs collective eye. The movie is relentless and artful exploitation, less concerned with blunt messaging than blunt-force trauma. Thereโs loads of literal gore โ every stabbing in Possessor goes about 28 stabs longer than your typical slasher would stab โ and the abstract battle staged in Colinโs mind. Sequences in which Colin grapples Tasya on the metaphysical plane blend the retro surrealism of movies like Mandy with monstrous prosthetics and liquifying visual effects.
