Reflections on: Possessor(2020)

• I’ve never watched Quantum Leap before, but I imagine it’s like this but less horrific. It’s also a little bit like if Being John Malkovich (1999) was about brain hacking assassins and wasn’t a comedy.
• This was written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg, son of David Cronenberg who is also the father of body horror. So this was made by body horror’s brother. Body horror makes some cute cameos here.
• The cast was great: Andrea Riseborough (AKA Mandy from Mandy (2018)), Jennifer Jason Leigh (being her lovely weird self), Christopher Abbott (one of the guys from Girls), Sean Bean (!), and Rossif Sutherland (Donald Sutherland’s OTHER actor son).
• I took a break during the middle of this to watch the music video for Rob Zombie’s “Dragula” for no particular reason.
• The plot centres around a tech company called ZOOTHROO which uses people’s webcams to spy on what kind of window coverings they have. Mostly they just see meat curtains.
• Lots of vaping.
• I enjoyed this despite all the blood and brain puncturing. It is a beautifully shot movie.
