Brandon Cronenberg has a way with visuals.

The young director used experiment camerawork, practical effects, gels, and lighting to complete a visual movie with Possessor Uncut. As a result, Cronenberg established a very unique style for himself.

The movie stars Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Oblivion), Christopher Abbott (James White, It Comes at Night), Rossif Sutherland (River, Guest of Honour), Tuppence Middleton (The Current War: Director’s Cut, The Imitation Game), Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight, Dolores Claiborne). Cronenberg wrote and directed the movie.

Here’s the official synopsis of the film:

From the visionary mind of writer/director Brandon Cronenberg, Possessor is an arresting sci-fi thriller about elite, corporate assassin Tasya Vos. 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.
