Probably one of the best films I've ever seen. Possessor IMO was a true 'experience.' The sound and camera work, the direction, was perfect, all acting was flawless. It was just 'wow!'
One has to be in just the right mood to truly absorb this movie. In my case, I was alone and comfortable. The lights were out, and the drinks were flowing prior to the start. My headphones were on and I was completely ready and undisturbed. Plus, I had very little idea about what to expect. Only seeing a poster it looked like another exorcism reboot. It is not. It is very sci-fi and personal and serious. It also had some pretty deep messages about more than what I expected. This gave the film more cred to add to the heart, which it had plenty of. Also not to sound weird but I really appreciate the level of attention deaths were given. They didnโt shy away at all, instead, getting closer than youโd like and showing that death is a very ugly and messy business. This added to the struggle the protagonist faced. But if I say more it's heading into spoiler territory.
It's really hard to put everything to words after the whole โexperience,โ except to say bravo to everyone involved in making this film and to beg anyone who comes across this to give this one a try. (PS not at all for the squeamish)
And to all the negative Nancies saying it's nothing new, let me hit you with a news flash, almost nothing is, it's not about what story you tell, but how you tell it, and in that way, this one was a masterpiece.
