A brand new UK trailer has dropped for Brandon Cronenberg’s excellent Possessor, a film we reviewed a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved. We caught this at LFF and gave the film the full five stars. It is a remarkable piece of horror filmmaking. The cast includes Christopher Abbott (It Comes at Night, The Sinner), Rossif Sutherland (Guest of Honour), Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey), Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight).
Here’s the synopsis:
From the visionary mind of writer director Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral), Possessor is a game-changing sci-fi thriller about elite, corporate assassin Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough, Mandy). Using brain-implant technology, Vos takes control of other people’s bodies to execute high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her. Possessor features a stellar cast including Christopher Abbott (It Comes at Night, The Sinner), Rossif Sutherland (Guest of Honour), Tuppence Middleton (Downton Abbey), Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight).
We said that ‘the film is a true piece of movie art that proves that the Cronenberg dynasty is in very safe, and equally strange, hands’. It will release on digital now – the cinemas are sadly closed – on the 27th November. Check out the trailer below and our review at the end of the link above.
