Possession
Directed by Andrzej Żuławski
Banned upon its original release in 1981, Andrzej Żuławski’s stunning nightmare of a marriage unraveling is an experience unlike any other. Professional spy Mark returns to his West Berlin home to find his wife Anna insistent on a divorce. As Anna’s frenzied behavior becomes ever more alarming, Mark discovers a truth far more sinister than his wildest suspicions. With its pulsating score, visceral imagery, and some of the most haunting performances ever captured on screen, Possession is cinematic delirium at its most intoxicating.
This stunning nightmare of a marriage unraveling is a cinematic experience unlike any other.
Cast: Isabelle Adjani, Sam Neill

My favorite version of Sam Neill
Slightly confusing and very odd but the story behind it combined with the acting was superb
Wow, what a waste of time! I don't know why reviews for this movie are so good. The only scary thing is the AWFUL acting. I watched 1 hr of it and fast-forwarded through the rest. It does not look like it got any better. The main girl was so annoying that she almost made me want to throw the computer across the room.
. . . so this is where Nicolas Cage learned how to act.
This is exactly the kind of weird, mind-bendy + gross and well done practical special effects stuff I want in my horror. Plus, new favorite Sam Neill role, damn!
