Andrej Zulawski’s weird cult classic POSSESSION, starring Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani, is getting a Region 2 Blu-ray release this July – great news for appreciators of the uber-bizarre film. Unfortunately, there’s no word regarding a Region 1 release, but we’ll just have to take baby steps when it comes to this one…

If you’re unfamiliar with POSSESSION, here’s the plot:

With their marriage in tatters Anna (Adjani) and Mark’s (Neill) tense relationship has become a psychotic descent into screaming matches, violence and self-mutilation.
Believing his wife’s only lover is the sinister Heinrich, Mark is unaware of the diabolical,
tentacled creature that Anna has embarked on an affair with. The unhinged woman visits
her monstrous lover in a deserted Berlin apartment and will stop at nothing to protect him.
