no wasn’t even the same movie lmfaooo Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review unknown Movies wasn’t even that good, it was boring and most of the time just them fighting and getting naked Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/22 Full Review Blu B A Horror Classic. If you ever wanna know what actors talk about when the best ones "Surrender themselves to the character" to achieve the highest level possible, look no further than the subway scene with Isabelle Adjani. One of the best performances I've seen. Really just amazing across the board but she is just...wow. Words don't even describe how disturbing her portrayal is. Direction is just first rate. I love how there is hardly any medium shots at all. The camerawork is so sophiscated and the creature design is amazing. The editing and pacing is masterful. The performances, fights, breakdowns, are just spellbinding. You can't look away. This is a very open ended interpretation of themes of divorce, fading love, breakdown of family, how we see people vs. what really is, and even the Cold War to an extent. This is sort of like a Polanksi flick if you mixed it with a hint of David Cronenberg. This defintely is something that you need to watch more than once to continue to absorb everything and has artgouse elements to it too. I do have to say it can be a little too open and abstract for my taste and I wish it had a bit more structure to it like a Lynch film to better organize it. And I don't think the Cold War overhang and ending don't add much and are just kind of put there just to be artsy. There's already soooo much here to explore and digest. But that being said it's one of the best horror films of the 80's and truly unique. Anyone who is a fan of horror, the director, any actors in this, psychological thrillers, or even arthouse type of flicks should check this out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Stephanie L Absolutely unhinged. Loud and bizarre. Two of the worst people you'll never meet spiral into a twisted nightmare. What I imagine happens to people on bath salts. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Audience Member This film has terrible production quality, the filming is bad, the special effects are bad, who ever did the sound really phoned it in, probably from mars. I felt the acting was absurd. It was also very visually dull. I watched the English dubbed version and it was a joke. The timing of the dubbing was way off. The voice actors that did the English dubbing all had ridicules weird voices. The dialogue was filled with mistakes and was largely unintelligible. I disliked the movie but read all the favorable reviews so I figured I would try it again this time with subtitles to try and get around the terrible dubbing. The subtitles were worse than the dubbing. It was almost like they used google translator and converted it through every language on the planet compounding the mistakes exponentially. It seemed like it didn’t know which genre it wanted to be, monster movie, drama, thriller with no thrills, or a shoot’em up. It failed on all accounts. The characters were unlikeable and behaved in extremely bizarre over the top ways. People just don’t interact with other people the way they do in this film making it awkward and uninteresting to watch. Very boring. I have disliked other films before but I have never been truly annoyed at one the way I have with this. A film that irritates both the eyes and ears. This film gets both rave and terrible reviews leading me to believe there might be two films with the same name and people are reviewing totally separate films. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Teddy B An exercise in excruciating pain with origins both in reality and fantasy, 'Possession' is a tale bound to provoke through its multitude of layers of surrealism. Depravity has never been more visceral than this, almost brought to an animal state of being. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
