You don't consider a movie that deals with autopsy, organ removal and body mutation as "body horror" how would you categorize it ?

Even definition wise the movie is spot on horror...

Characteristics. The horror film is defined by The Dictionary of Film Studies as representing "disturbing and dark subject matter, seeking to elicit responses of fear, terror, disgust, shock, suspense, and, of course, horror from their viewers."

Autopsy and organ removal are everyday things in hospitals. Nothing horror about them. One putting on ear ring or doing tribal scars can be count as body mutilation.

Nope, still not horror.

...and about your characteristics - this did not make me horrified.

You must have a strong stomach, the trailer made me nauseous

 

[hatredhorror]

its a sci-fi drama imo

 

[Billy Talent]

Ok so it's a Scifi Body Horror drama, it is settled

 

[Lenny Nero]

Ok so after watching the trailer it looks like a extremely disgusting body horror, typical cronenberg style.
Don't think I can stomach this movie but gotta have this second sight edition.

Don't worry about that, it's very timid. You can probably eat dinner along.

 

[Jocelin]

Think i may now confirm this is body horror.

 

[PracticingPat]

What is truly most horrfying about the film is the dystopian future that it portrays. A society that has become warped, perverted, cold and devoid of some of its soul.

Oh, so it's set in present day, I see.

 

[Jocelin]

Oh, so it's set in present day, I see.

It is a bit more complicated.
Actually in a parallel timeline this movie could be different. A Terminator will probably be send back one day or another to save us from Lea Seydoux to star in movies.

 

[3Maters]

Oh, so it's set in present day, I see.

Haha you joke but I think that is one of the points of the movie: to hold up a mirror to *our* society and see what is perverse about it, i.e our addicition to smart phones (at least that was the main parallel I saw)

Spoiler

There's interesting and darkly humorous moments where every single person watching the performance art pieces of the movie are filming it with something (smart phone, vintage camcorder, 16mm film camera lol) Not a single person is just watching it.

love david cronenberg but athough this one is great, its definitely lower ranked.
honestly id rather see Brandon Cronenberg's films on Second Sight.

thought possessor was awesome, but to me it is way too close to the movies of his father. so it lacks originality
Like many cronenberg films, after 1st screening i ranked it lower, but as time passes i rank it better.
like is said earlier it is one of those films you have to "digest" if i may say

When you find out the director of Possesor is the SON OF DAVID CRONENBERG!!????

Yeah, you didn't know?
I also only found out about his existence at all, much less he's a director too, and that he has three good movies already.
First one is Antiviral, and the third is only coming to theaters soon, Infinity Pool
I've ordered a Turbine mediabook of Possessor, looks to be like a bloodier version of Xchange (2001) and Vincenzo Natali's Cypher.
