Possession (1981)

Surrouded by a desperate and hysterical feeling of being watched and set in early 80s Berlin where the divisions of the Belin wall are a constant and significant presence, Mark returns home from a prelonged period of work to his wife Anna and son Bob. However things between them have changed as Anna has been unfaithful and Ben embarks on an agonising journey to discover who or what Annas new love is. Intensly hysterical, yet layered with horror and sometimes humour 'Possession' on the ground level documents the destruction and colaypse of a relationship. Dig deeper and it portrays the slow metamorphisis of all the characters involved and maybe our ability to create something from our desires that comforts us when were at our loneliest?? Directed by Andrzej Zulawski and with devasting performances by Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill this ranks highly as one of my favourite horrors of all time. Amazing settings, an exeptional soundtrack, beautiful camera work and thought prevoking with every watch, this once deemed 'video nasty' packs a punch of genuine intensity. Simply a must watch...
