Leave your thoughts about Possum.
| StarburstKatie DriscollPossum excels in ways some horror doesn't. It strikes the nerve between horror and emotion, between wanting to cry and wanting to scream. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Priscilla PageIt slowly builds tension to a disturbing denouement. |
| Screen InternationalWendy IdeEven though it's all build-up and little in the way of scary pay-off, the film still works to a certain extent, just not as a traditional horror. |
| Den of GeekDaniel KurlandHarris' work as Philip is nothing short of incredible. All of his body language with the bag that contains "possum" is hypnotizing. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Andrew ToddWhile Possum's resolution is a little disappointing -- rendering text a plot development that could easily have been left ambiguous -- it does little to dampen or dismantle the dread that's come before it. |
| The ListKatherine McLaughlinWith Possum, Holness has constructed a dark and twisted contemporary fairytale, designed to confront the impact of neglect and abuse. |
| Time OutOlly RichardsIcky and unsettling, this British horror film crawls under your skin. |
| TheShiznit.co.ukMatt LookerPossum is all demented nightmare fuel filtered through mental instability and emotional repression. Its business is 'chill', impure and simple. |
