directed by Andrzej Zulawski
France/West Germany 1981
In this controversial epic of obsessive love and
sexual psychosis, Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill star
as a married couple torn by emotional instability and
carnal infidelity. As their madness grows, their world
becomes a nightmare of savage murder...and climaxes in
a monstrous manifestation of sexual evil. Written and directed by acclaimed international director Andrzej Zulawski and featuring shocking creature effects by Carlo Rambaldi (E.T., Alien), Possession is an experience like no other; part masterful art film, part bizarre horror-thriller. Cut by nearly 45 minutes for its U.S. release, this controversial film is now presented completely uncut and uncensored for the first time ever in America. |
Theatrical Release: May 27, 1981 (France)

Initially you may think this was a silly comparison for us to do - BUT what we have done is proven that the previously expensive original ($25 at one time) is now duplicated (commentary included) and another film is thrown in on the opposite side for less than $10 in total. The discs menus, everything is the same, but in the "Drive In" budget package you get Mario Bava's "Shock" as well. Thanks to Ted for informing us of this. Gary W. Tooze |
