Possessor: Uncut

Insanely excellent sci-fi/horror. Did not see the 'uncut version' but I'm guessing it won't sway my opinion either way.

Was anticipating to see this film with high expectations - an it exceeded everything I have hoped for - gory, bloody, violent, shocking, clever, disturbing, crazy... Brandon Cronenberg is a master.

I rate this movie a 6.2!!

Some cool ideas a good cast but it never quite comes together.

This movie is totally creepy and dark. It has a unique take on consciousness and weaponization of futuristic technology. I won't spoil the plot for you but there is one scene where a character takes over the mind of another character by using futuristic technology and the film makers use excellent practical effects and editing to really thrust the audience into this cerebral experience. There's 1 point in the movie where a character gets killed and I'm not sure if I'm too dumb to understand why, or if it was a plot hole. This film does an excellent job of taking the audience through a very intense emotional journey, in a dark uncomfortable way: Since this is a horror movie I consider that a success for the film. Mini-spoiler below: One very intense element of this film is that a character is depicted as somewhat evil but with redeeming qualities deep down inside, however by the end of the film the audience sees that she becomes, or always ways, totally evil to the core.

For fans of the Sci-Fi horror genre, this one is really satisfying. Bleak, demented, analog, understated but serious philosophically, not shying away from ultraviolence. (Most of) the acting is really excellent, and the soundtrack is fitting. It's haunting, really.

5.0/10 — "Poor"/"Inferior"/"Amateurish" -(Seen on 11/11/23)

Ominous and psychological disform doesn't verify its horrific label besides taking on the "Source Code" lingering question with remorseless execution on its scientific fictious concept revisioning possession in a bland light, albeit striking juxtaposed editing regarding identity and nuanced performances behind a void demeanor. (C+)

Well-made, captivating, gruesome, but empty and unenjoyable. The only payoff was the feeling of regret for watching it. I'm normally fine with bleak art and quick to defend polarizing visions, but I honestly can't think of any reason to recommend this one.

An interesting idea that's slow at parts but never fully drags. Some shock gore that makes you wince a bit. Worth a watch to see if you can still feel feelings.
