Samuel LovePerhaps one of the most highly-anticipated releases from Second Sight Films in some time, Brandon Cronenberg’s POSSESSOR is given the label’s usual lavish treatment with – unsurprisingly – impeccable results. The twisted and harrowing sci-fi thriller starring Andrea Riseborough is not for the faint of heart, especially in stunning 4K UHD and Dolby Vision HDR approved by Cronenberg and Director of Photography Karim Hussain. The release is absolutely stacked with a feast of special features, art-cards, and an insightful booklet of essays that enhance viewers’ understanding of the ambiguous and nightmarish film.
Another truly essential release from a label that hasn’t missed once.
Synopsis: An elite corporate assassin takes control of other people’s bodies using brain-implant technology to execute high-profile targets. With each hit comes a stronger lust for blood, throwing the whole operation into jeopardy.
