Critics Consensus

Further refining his provocative vision, writer-director Brandon Cronenberg uses Possessor's potentially over-the-top premise as a delivery mechanism for stylishly disturbing thrills.

Bodily betrayals marry tech conspiracy theories in this unnerving second feature from Brandon Cronenberg.

InSession Film

At once viscerally entertaining and carefully disturbing, Possessor transcends its corny, ridiculous premise to give an upsetting sci-fi thriller that will stick with you like an infection. It is schlock manifested in a sinister, surgical way.

Rated: B+

There is so much stuff in Possessor that you might think you're at a venerable cinematic feast. But take away the squelching and splatter and there's barely enough to fill an episode of Black Mirror.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Possessor is a taut, violent, science-fiction nightmare. A bloody tale reminiscent of an early Black Mirror episode.

Good break from the usual crap they usually show in theaters this time of year. Smart, creative, and visually interesting.

This was a fantastic movie. The concept is completely original and the execution was perfect. If you like a mindbending trip and good body horror then Possessor is for you.

Good plot that kept it’s validity and purpose, with uniqueness to the story. Could have had a few more novel events, and less violence/gore.
