 It's a little bit different, at least to say. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Possessor, the newest film by Brandon Cohnenberg. If you're wondering why I'm reviewing it like this, a lot of the shots were set up in the film like this and I wanted to give it a try, so here we go. The film follows Voss, a cerebral assassin character who essentially takes over the minds of subjects, lives their lives for a few days, and then takes out the target in terms of looking like a natural killing. However, Voss is starting to lose her grip on reality, yet she can't fight the urge to get back into the game because she enjoys it. And once she takes over this newest character who has to, ironically enough, kill Sean Bean, the role of the Possessor and the role of the Possessed intermingle and they switch back and forth as the power struggle for the control of the guy's body becomes so prevalent that it basically breaks their minds. This is a very abstract movie. It's not normal. It's not a conventional film in terms of its progression. It's very akin to his father's work. David Cohnenberg has done a lot of really great movies, but he's also done a little bit of out there movies too and this film is definitely out there. There's a lot of really cool visual styles in the film. The hallucinations and the possessing scenes are always entertaining to watch. They put you on an edge that is uncomfortable and that is a constant feeling throughout most of the movie is this sense of uncomfortable. It's always a persistent feeling in the film which helps with it, but at the same time it also gets a bit old after a while and if anything, the film does actually, I feel drag on a little bit longer than it's intended to. There is a lot of attention to detail in terms of the gore, the visual style, the kind of uncomfortable idea that this is a reality and I enjoy the dedication to those subjects and I did enjoy the performances of this film. But as I said, the film kind of just starts to drag a little bit and it starts to get not pretentious, but it definitely starts to get into its own self too much. It starts to lose a narrative feel and at the end of the film it almost becomes a little bit high and mighty with its symbolism and I didn't enjoy that. I thought that the film had a really good thing going and then it just started kind of rinse and repeat. The events that happened to him just kind of start to repeat over and over again and it's just the same situation, but with a different coat of blood all over the wall. Possessor is a cool idea, don't get me wrong. It has a very, very cool idea in terms of where the line for violence, sexuality, and possession, control of oneself goes and this film dips into it. It doesn't hold back at all. Brandon is very much into his idea in this film. But however, these aspects are weakened when the narrative does not fit the bill or fill the bill really. It doesn't have the longevity to continue as long as it does in this movie and at the end of the film I'm just kind of bored and waiting for it to end and when it did I was still left out to lunch in terms of what was he trying to accomplish with this movie? I like the idea of what happens with Voss. I like the idea that she fully comes circle with what she is. However, I kind of really got that within the first 20, 30 minutes of the film and everything that came afterwards was just kind of predictable. And those are some of the biggest issues that I feel this film suffers from and it's unfortunate too because it's a well put together Canadian film and it's cool to see something like this get so much attention in Canada as it did even if it did come out when theaters were basically having two to three people in them at one time. It's a cool idea. It just doesn't have as great of an execution as I would have hoped. So in the end I'm gonna give Biseser a four to seven. Anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed this review.
