Bruce Purkey, Eric Holmes and I deliver a spoiler free review of Possessor Uncut, Brandon Cronenberg’s latest film, on the podcast. Plus Eric Holmes has an interesting DVD chain he wants to start with the feature Intensity! Full show notes/outline is below!
Sign me up for any film starring Andrea Riseborough (Mandy), and she is great as a conflicted assassin in Possessor Uncut. Thanks to brain implant technology, Tasya Vos (Risebourough) can take control of a human being and use that vessell for her respective killings.
The latest body belongs Colin Tate (Christopher Abbott), but this time out possessing this person is not an easy task! Purkey really enjoyed this film, and though Holmes and I recommend this futuristic horror-thriller, we had a few critiques!
As for Eric Holmes’ plans to star up a DVD chain with the TV-movie Intensity (starring John C. McGinley and Molly Parker), check out the video below!!!
On a freaking whim Holmes decided to check out the 1985 flick Future-Kill, and he describes the feature as “trash.” I absolutely love Charm City Kings, and that movie is one reason to have HBO Max as a streaming service.
Purkey is a total horror guy (even though he’s been dipping into animation a bit thanks to Satoshi Kon), so he gives the proverbial thumps up to Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and Theater of Blood.
Kyle McFadden is a personal friend of the podcast and member of our CinemAddicts Facebook Group, and he co-directed (with Andrew Marson) the first rate thriller Iris. All three of us kept the review spoiler free, and all I am going to say is that the suspense/tension in this short is well executed. Lead actors Jon Bowden and Jaidan Jiron are entirely believable as individuals whose lives are entwined after a random encounter with a stranger. If you love visually arresting cinema, Iris is one film you need to track down!
