Possessor

Possessor follows Tasya Vos, an assassin who works for a secret organization using brain-implant technology to occupy another person's body and carry out killings for powerful clients. Her assignments require her to suppress the host's will, and she can only leave once that body dies. Over time the work leaves her struggling to hold on to her own identity and to keep violent impulses out of her ordinary life. On what should be a routine job, she becomes trapped inside the mind of a man whose appetite for violence exceeds her own, and her sense of self begins to slip away.

Brandon Cronenberg wrote and directed the film, his second feature after Antiviral and before Infinity Pool. Andrea Riseborough plays Vos, with Christopher Abbott as Colin Tate, Jennifer Jason Leigh as Girder, Sean Bean as John Parse, Tuppence Middleton as Ava Parse and Rossif Sutherland as Michael Vos. Niv Fichman, Andrew Starke and Kevin Krikst produced the Australia, United Kingdom, Canada and United States co-production, made for about 3 million USD.
