Possession (1981) - International Trailer

[KevsHardLemonade]

She looks like the chick from Antichrist.

[sharkattacksteve]

GREAT MOVIE. The first time you watch it you might think it was pretentious neurotic rubbish but then you start thinking about it and certain scenes and next thing you know you're ...possessed. lol

Everybody raves about The Tenant, this is actually much better in the long run.

[Turtleproof]

A true cinematic clusterfuck, what this film succeeds at is reminding us as viewers and filmmakers that we have complete freedom when making a film. Characters can do or say anything they want, regardless of motive, plot, or any logical frame of reference. The film is a canvas, fill it with completely disjointed scenes of bloodshed, murder, demon sex, and incoherent baby moaning!

If you're looking for an art shocker that is challenging and well made, watch Von Trier's "Antichrist" instead.

[ivansnightmare]

@Turtleproof Your characterization of this movie suggests you are a poor or close-minded judge of film. This movie is not a clusterfuck, but an artfully crafted narrative of a couple's descent into emotional and marital hell. Granted, the plot of the film is not to be judged literally, but as a surrealistic expression of the most passionate and irrational human emotions. And the Cannes Film Festival awarded the "incoherent baby moaning" you refer to with a best actress award for Isabelle Adjani.

[Turtleproof]

@ivansnightmare I take it you liked Warhol's "Empire" as well.

[holicat098]

This film is harder and deeper sense than any American horror

[Tamaohoi]

2:12 - 2:14 ...is that a young quentin tarantino?

[ailiepants]

Is this scary despite the weird wriggly monster thing? I am a huge horror fan and I'm looking for a bunch of new films to watch as I exhausted my collection a while ago.

[Fridayth31st]

@ailiepants Well its pretty disturbing. I'd put it in the catagory of horror movies like Jacob's Ladder, Tetsuo the iron man, Eraserhead, The Brood, Videodrome, Altered States, Sweet Movie, Antichrist, Naked Lunch. You know smart, dark, and surreal horror films.

[ailiepants]

@Fridayth31st Alright cool, I shall give it a shot. Cheers!

[mistermajestyck]

I don't exactly understand what's going on in this movie, but it's stuck with me since the first time I saw it because of the incredible performances. Sam Neil is as good as he's ever been, which is to say impeccable. But Isabelle Adjani has, in my opinion, the most intense and unhinged portrayal of a mental collapse ever done by an acteess. Just scary.

[Marty0Mcfly]

great movie. bizarre and unbelievable and brilliant

[lordtufty]

She is nude and hot in La Reine Margot

[apologyisnothepolicy]

I've been a horror movie collector for quite some time,and this stands as one of my favourites,it's unique,it has some really intense acting,a disturbing atmosphere,gore,a really fucked up monster,lots of symbolism and a ending that forces you to watch it more than once.

[smellylittletoe]

I have honestly never seen a more fucked up bonkers movie than this.

[terryhooligan]

Its got a monster & tits in it. what more can you ask?

[kaskraker]

Can someone explain whats so great about this movie? so i can consider watching it?

[1000angers]

the "subway" scene is awsome.. love to see some of the so called Hollywood actresses try to take on something like that!!

[MrChachi123]

Jurassic Park guy is in this, You go Jurassic Park guy!

[KeshaBritney]

@MrChachi123 LAWL! XDD

"Jurassic Park Guy" XDD

[mary8810002]

THis has become my favorite film with Velvet Goldmine . I thought this movie was excellent and loved Isabel Adjani in this film. i did not think it was possible for her to be more beautiful than when she was in The Tenant but she totally was! I burned a copy of this DVD and I will probably be holed up watching it tomorrow.

[Anopholes1]

It is extraordinary, still haunts me after all these years. It was banned from video stores for a long time

[sonicwingnut]

This film is great, still can't quite interpret it coherently though. I need to get my own copy purely for this purpose. I wonder if the Silent Hill games were at all influenced by this.

[jasonbigelow]

the only film i've seen that scared the fuck out of me.

[gogec2007]

AMAZING MOVIE...FOR A TRUE HORROR FANS - A MUST SEE!!!

[modder1975]

masterpiece especially the uncut version

[MrILoVeMaRiUcCiO]

2:10 WTF??!!

[Perstorp]

Believe it or not, but this award winning (Cannes, Fantasporto, BAFTA...) movie was actually one of the infamous "video nasties" in the UK in the mid 80s...it IS a small classic!

[cessnaace]

@Perstorp Yes, I just finished watching the 3 Disc Video Nasties documentary, and when I watched the in depth look at this film, and it's trailer, on Disc 3 I decided it was a must own for me. Sadly Vestron Video trimmed about 30 minutes out for their video release. I'm going to have to track it down on DVD, uncut hopefully!

STAY AWESOME! :)

[Muskateering]

This film is a total masterpiece, it influenced Von Triers Antichrist.

[bobiquesada]

a WTF movie!!...I love Isabelle Adjani

[moshiemoro]

what was that bloody looking creature in the end? i MUST know

[Veronikaynadamas]

La mejor época del cine de terror

En aquellos años las películas de horror asustaban de verdad

ahora ya no es muy comun que suceda

[Normant4]

This movie, was weird, but AMAZING!

[depoetiser]

one of the best films ever made

[brushstrokesrock]

This is one of those films wherein you can't eat some popcorn while watching it because it requires your full attention to appreciate its beauty.

[GasmaskAvenger]

I've been wanting to see this film for about 7 years now or so

[heartofarebel]

I think I just discovered my favourite actress right now...

[trooper5930]

What the hell?

[KalYoshiKa]

This movie is surprisingly easy to watch - very dreamy and doesn't make a lick of sense unless you read into it.

[faridjabba]

beuty unteteng

[burtonrules123]

wow....this looks like a weirdass movie. but even from that long trailer, i still have no idea what its about. and WTF is with the monster thing at the end??? that was, um, unexpected? lol. movie looks weird though, and whats weird is it doesnt even look like an 80's film, looks way later.

[ResidentNinja]

It's a film that's a deliberate mind fuck.

From what I've heard it's pretty good, but I have yet to see it for myself.

I figure I'll look for it this weekend.

[rentonPL]

Yeah! Poland was the first in making the GRINDHOUSE filcks! : ) In your face RODRIGUEZ/TARANTINO ! " ) (and 'specially I Adjani)

[Alkaline850]

Errr no...this film was released in '81. The U.S. and Italy had been at it long before that...

[Alkaline850]

Furthermore I'd hardly clasify Possession as "grindhouse".

[burtonrules123]

it doesnt look grindhouse at all. i would simply classify it as "freaking wierd".

[stiggyh]

this looks like a god damned awesome film :))))))

[RITEFAIR]

WTF????????/

[dontleademsomuch]

this chick was hot in herzog's noserfatu

[Tasha6cat]

yes it is and her name is Isabelle Adjani.

[Alkaline850]

What is she not hot in?

[eydukackbratze]

@dontleademsomuch

In "Subway" she was beautiful...

[Kryguul]

I never got the "pink sock" thing

[pataplush]

is an old cold war joke, not red, not capitalist but works for both of them. In this film, Berlin wall it's another character too and for those times, the film's end was something prophetical.

[xxrtyu]

That chick is hot. I mean if I could I would also possess her.

[mikedotd]

Thank you for posting. Could you post the American trailer too? It has that awesome narrator, haha.
