About
You can watch Possession (1981) on Hoopla with a participating library card, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
A young woman left her family for an unspecified reason. The husband determines to find out the truth and starts following his wife. At first, he suspects that a man is involved. But gradually, he finds out more and more strange behaviors and bizarre incidents that indicate something more than a possessed love affair.
Forget standard jump scares for a fever dream of visceral, frantic hysteria set against a cold Berlin backdrop. The psychic disintegration of a crumbling marriage morphs into something far more biological and terrifyingly alien.
