Brandon Cronenberg, son of David, is proving to be quite a chip off the old block. His Philip K Dick-ian second feature, Possessor, is every bit as thought-provokingly disturbing as anything by his pop.
A body-swap thriller, it centres on Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough), an assassin who uses brain-implant tech to inhabit the body of someone close to the mark and first establish a plausible narrative. Unfortunately, the identity of her latest unwitting host ends up fighting back... SFX's reviewer described the film as "by turns breathtakingly stylish and gasp-inducingly pitiless", awarding it five stars.
The Blu-ray release comes with three featurettes which tackle the film's look, the two leads' approach to playing the same character, and practical effects. You also get three deleted scenes, and a nine-minute short film by the director.
Possessor is available to buy now on Blu-ray, DVD and digital HD formats. Thanks to Signature Entertainment, we have five Blu-ray copies to give away. To put your name in the hat for the chance to win one, simply answer the question below.
