Tasya (Andrea Riseborough, LUXOR) is a corporate agent who colonizes other people's bodies using brain-implant technology, using them to commit assassinations for the benefit of the company she works for. Although she is remarkably good at her job, her experiences have lead to problems in her own life, as she struggles to suppress violent memories and sudden urges. When her mental strain begins to intensify, she starts losing control and soon she finds herself trapped in the mind of a man (Christopher Abbott, BLACK BEAR) whose identity threatens to obliterate her own.

Director Brandon Cronenberg’s (ANTIVIRAL, CIFF 2012) splendid mind-bending style pushes this horror thriller to shocking new heights with an efficient mystery that is both grotesque and rich. POSSESSOR is a violent shocker that will surely be impossible to shake.
