whatever is motivating this unsettling, moody film seems to have been arrived at honestly. For whatever else it is, "Possessor" feels authentically weird
this sleekly executed work is of its time, exhibiting the chilly aesthetic and psychotropic overlay seen in some of the best indie sci-fi/horror films of recent year
Brandon Cronenberg's gruesome thriller about identity in the digital age; "Possessor" never manages to wrest control of your mind, but it's unnervingly good at getting under your skin
an effective – and very gory – social horror; Exploring themes of identity, morality and gendered acts of violence, the film lingers in the mind long after the closing credits, the gore impossible to shake once it's in your head
a mind-blowing sci-fi/horror hybrid; Directed with razor-point precision and anchored by a pair of brilliant performances from two of the most compelling acting talents working today, "Possessor" is unflinchingly visceral filmmaking at its finest
