POSSUM
Best described as “psychological horror,” this British export is disturbing and unnerving. There is a sinister undertone that runs at a constant velocity leaving you wondering exactly what in the hell is going on. The exposition is left to an almost nonexistent bare minimum, requiring the viewer to fill in the blanks. This is a tricky tactic that actually ends up working, as it helps to create an even more oppressive sense of eerie dread.
I’m not even gonna talk about the titular character; it’s harrowing and nightmare inducing, to say the least. And Sean Harris is brilliant as the ostracized loner who may or may not be crazy.
