Probably my fav film last year was Lars Von Triers Antichrist. Mark Kermode talks about another film from 1981 called Possession with Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill which he thinks is the influence for Antichrist. Apparently this was one of those "video nasties" they tried to ban but Kermode insists its a classic. I was wondering if any of the older folk here, or even some inquisitive young ones, have seen this movie and what did you think of it?

Re: Possession.
I heard about the Antichrist. Isn't it supposed to be really fucked up?

Re: Possession.
Some people might think so. I thought it was a great psychological thriller. It depends on your tolerance level. A lot of critics went mental about it saying it was an "abomination" and such. Some where outraged. Others thought it was brilliant. Films that divide critics are usually the ones I like. Especially when the ones who don't like it don't for moral reasonsLozzer wrote:I heard about the Antichrist. Isn't it supposed to be really fucked up?

I downloaded 1 gig in 45 minutes and 100mb in 16 hours.
I fucking hate torrents... but I need them.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."
Re: Possession.
Already half-way through watching it. This is one strange film. I have a feeling its about to get stranger. About to watch the second half now.

Ok. Em... I'm not really sure what I just saw there 
Wow...
I was engrossed in that movie. Words like compelling, surreal and mildly disturbing come to mind. Its not a movie a will forget in a hurry. The performances from the actors were strenuous and frenetic.
I understand now why they kept this movie away from me.
I would urge anyone to see this.
