Massive spoiler warning.
Antiviral director Brandon Cronenberg‘s latest mind fuck, Possessor, is now in limited theaters everywhere and NEON is hyping up the film’s astounding effects in this brand new featurette, exclusive to Bloody Disgusting.
NEON describes the film as “An arresting sci-fi thriller about elite, corporate assassin Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough). Using brain-implant technology, Vos takes control of other people’s bodies to execute high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment, Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 4.5 star review for BD, “For those that love cerebral thrillers with practical gore, wrapped up in a stimulating sci-fi package, this is a must.”
Speaking of “practical gore”, Possessor fully delivers on its promise.
“There are two things I really like about practical effects,” Brandon Cronenberg begins to explain in the following featurette that’s better than most bonus features included on home video releases. “The first is that I think they have a particular weight to them on-screen – I’m not anti-CGI, but I think often if you lean too heavily on it, and it’s not rooted in something practical, it kinda feels floaty and unsatisfying in a way.”
He adds: “Also, there’s a kind of tangible process to them…working with practical effects you’re involved in a hands-on way and you discover things by accident and through process you wouldn’t get to otherwise.”
Just how much of Possessor‘s mayhem is executed with practical effects? “Basically, every effect is in-camera,” exclaims Karim Hussasin, the film’s cinematographer.
Another mega-spoiler warning before you hit “play”, but this truly is a spectacular featurette that demands a viewing whether it’s now or after you’ve seen Possessor. Bookmark this page.
