In the pantheon of horror cinema, there are films that scare you, films that disturb you, and then there is Possession (1981). This is the film that crawls under your skin, sets up camp in your subconscious, and refuses to leave. It’s not just a movie; it’s a howl of psychic pain.
You need plot clarity. You dislike gore. You want a "cozy horror" vibe.
