Possum (15)

Drama, Horror

A psychological drama in which a man returns to his childhood home where he confronts secrets from his unhappy past.


The critical consensus

Horrifying, meticulously crafted fairytale from Matthew Holness, starring Sean Harris.

****(*)Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 22/10/2018

A disturbing, curiously beautiful British horror exercise. Recommended, but with a warning: next time you wake up in the middle of the night, you’ll find Possum at the end of the bed.

****(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 22/10/2018

In Matthew Holness’s creepy tale, a troubled figure trudges across remote fenland to the scene of his unhappy childhood – and a troubling encounter.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 24/10/2018

Not an easy film to like by design, but formally impressive nonetheless.

***(*)(*)David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 25/10/2018

Unsettling exploration of how an unhappy adolescence can haunt adulthood.
