Ein Psycho-Film im Stil von Eraserhead, stärker in der Realität verankert. Ein düsteres Milieu und traumhafte Szenen, manchmal chronologisch durcheinander. Das Trauma des Haupthelden und das Monster, mit dem er psychisch verbunden ist und das eine metaphorische Verkörperung seiner Albträume darstellt. Eine Film-Bizarrerie für Eingeladene, mit der coolen schauspielerischen Mimik von Sean Harris und der Stimme von Alun Armstrong. Ich würde aber nicht sagen, dass es letztendlich sinnvoll zusammenpasst oder Emotionen hervorruft.

Horror-themed psychological drama about two characters and one horrifying-looking puppet that you won't easily forget. Possum in many ways strikingly resembles the film Spider by David Cronenberg - but it focuses more purely on the psychological aspect of things, whereas Possum is a much more disturbing affair that can really mess with your nerves if you properly immerse yourself in it. The story is quite surreal, but if you pay attention, you'll easily decipher it. Everything is moreover clearly pointed out at the end and no major questions are left unanswered - just don't expect the film to serve you the answers on a silver platter.
