Possum Ratings & Reviews
Horror Movie Talk
Max Allen
Not much happens for the majority of the movie, and sometimes it feels like you are watching pretty much nothing. But, there are layers to this film. It is all about running from your trauma, and how you can't escape it unless you face it.
Common Sense Media
Kat Halstead
This is a slow-burn psychological horror with surreal, nightmarish visuals that may not appeal to genre fans looking for fast, fun scares, but offers something uniquely disturbing instead.
Filmotomy
Bianca Garner
Atmosphere is well constructed, but never realizes the horrifying final confrontation with repressed trauma which is somewhat a letdown...the screenplay feels a little underdeveloped and sparse in places, and at some points the film feels stuck on repeat.
Cultured Vultures
Adi Pramana
Harris is superb in this. He's completely on the level with the screenplay and threw himself into the role with a mesmerizing and polarized performance.
Wicked Horror
Joey Keogh
[Possum's] shiver-inducing, claustrophobic, hauntingly brilliant nightmare fuel, powered by an engagingly disturbing central performance from Sean Harris.
The Wolfman Cometh
Patrick Cavanaugh
Possum manages to not only push boundaries with its nightmarish imagery, but also find the right narrative journey to justify those scares.
Bloody Disgusting
Meredith Borders
An ambitiously unpleasant and gorgeously stark film shot on 35mm.
La Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
Chilling genre fare that crawls its way beneath your skin like dirt under badly-bitten fingernails.

Christian Toto
It's almost too creepy and unnerving for its own good.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Unsettling niche British horror film.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
Once again, I'll state how surprising this film is when you consider who made it, but I think that fact makes it all the more excellent.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
Despite all it has going for it, the movie's undercooked plot and dialogue keep it from breaking out of its trauma.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Priscilla Page
It slowly builds tension to a disturbing denouement.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The film has a striking aesthetic and atmospheric assurance that takes a particular British miserabilism into near-abstract terrain, not unlike Cronenberg's vaguely similar (if more rigorously plotted) "Spider."
Film Inquiry
Linsey Satterthwaite
Possum is an impressively chilling debut from Holness and credit must go to the director for taking a risk on a darker affair.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Inspired by his Holness' research into the uncanny, it's a bleak and desolate horror which contains flashes of Cronenberg and traces of macabre early silent films.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
In the end, there's little payoff for all the repetitive series of evocative visions and mute stares.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Andrew Todd
While 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.
Den of Geek
Daniel Kurland
Harris' work as Philip is nothing short of incredible. All of his body language with the bag that contains "possum" is hypnotizing.
The Hollywood Reporter
Neil Young
Possum ultimately has to stand or fall on its own merits, and at heart is a serious and dark journey into the labyrinths of cruelty and abuse.
