A new episode of our Best Foreign Horror Movies video series has just been released, and this time around we’re digging into a very interesting mind-boggler, the 1981 French / German production Possession (get it HERE). To hear what we had to say about Possession, check out the video embedded above!
Shot in Berlin long before the wall fell, Possession was directed by Andrzej Zulawski from a script he wrote with Frederic Tuten. The story they crafted together has the following synopsis:
A woman starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.
