48. Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession (1981)

Content Warning: this movie depicts domestic violence, child endangerment and psycho-sexual assault

Sexy tentacle aliens will fill up your holes all night long in this movie full of chunky blood, broken eggs, spilled milk, oozing jism, allusions to world politics and some of the most gut-dumping relationship trauma you’ll ever see in a horror movie. Isabelle Adjani gives the performance of a lifetime, and you get to see a young and spermy Sam Neill. Andrzej Żuławski was in artistic exile from his home country of Poland while filming this epic post-Eraserhead, pre-Mother! body-horror masterpiece. Watch the movie before listening. It’s a shame more people haven’t seen this film and just another drop in the bucket of evidence for 1981 being the great year in horror movie history.
