Possessor
In the near future, a cool and ruthless assassin who uses other peopleβs bodies to carry out execution-style killings comes unstuck when her latest vehicle resists.
Director: Brandon Cronenberg
Overview
The concept of drone warfare is taken to a provocative new level in Brandon Cronenbergβs nightmarish follow-up to 2012βs Antiviral. Another foray into the body-horror genre pioneered by his father David, this insanely enjoyable and graphically gruesome identity-swap thriller stars Andrea Riseborough as Tasya Vos, a psychic and possibly psychotic hitwoman-for-hire, who hijacks other peopleβs minds and manipulates them to into carrying out undetectable murder-suicides. A respectable wife and mother in her normal life, Tasya is the perfect undercover operative. That is until she encounters the unexpectedly stubborn Colin (Christopher Abbott), whose body she takes over as part of a plot to kill his media mogul father-in-law (Sean Bean). Slick, smart and gory, Possessor thrills right up to its visceral, goose-bump ending.
