Its writhing tale of secrecy and duplicity only becomes more sinister and supernatural as it progresses, all the while obfuscating any clear interpretation. <em>Possession<\/em> is a national allegory, a study of fragmented relationships, and, to borrow the phrase du jour from contemporary horror movies, it\u2019s actually all about grief.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is to say that <em>Possession<\/em> is not easily classifiable, and neither are its inspirations or its legacy. It draws on traditions of psychologically dense films while creating something wholly original, and it has influenced countless movies while also being firmly inimitable. So, in searching for films that will suit the Eldritch tastes of <em>Possession<\/em> fans, this often means settling on tone and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a> \u2014 films that capture a similar sense of unease, paranoia, and fear.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the marriage stories, supernatural headscratchers, and otherworldly oddities that will tickle and tantalize any <em>Possession<\/em> aficionados:<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was co-written with Anna Swanson.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Persona_1966\"><\/span>Persona (1966)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-365407 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Persona.jpg\" alt=\"Persona\" width=\"800\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Persona.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Persona-768x561.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you love <em>Possession<\/em> for its splintered psychology and doubles, but you\u2019re not looking for straight-up horror movies, <strong><em>Persona<\/em><\/strong> is undeniably the way to go. No matter how many times you watch this <strong>Ingmar Bergman<\/strong> film, it never becomes any easier to parse. That\u2019s exactly what makes it good. Following an actress in the care of a young nurse, the film blurs all distinctions and categorizations; the self is undefinable, and the function of film itself is weaponized against any sense of clarity. <em>Persona<\/em> is a film like no other and by nature it eludes understanding. If you think you can\u2019t make sense of it, then good, you\u2019re starting to get it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Available to stream on the Criterion Channel.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Look_Now_1973\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Look Now (1973)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-365408 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dont-Look-Now.jpg\" alt=\"Don't Look Now\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dont-Look-Now.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dont-Look-Now-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Among the many reasons that <strong>Nicolas Roeg<\/strong>\u2019s <strong><em>Don\u2019t Look Now<\/em><\/strong> is essential viewing is that it\u2019s a masterclass in editing. The film utilizes elliptical cuts to match the nonlinear, even somewhat circular, storyline. After their daughter drowns, John Baxter (<strong>Donald Sutherland<\/strong>) and his wife, Laura (<strong>Julie Christie<\/strong>), move to Venice to find that all is not what it seems. With a vested interest in gothic traditions, the film is inventive and disorienting in equal measure. Much like <em>Possession<\/em>, it weaves in supernatural suspicions that feed off the palpable sense of dread. But the paranoia works in subtle ways, capturing the slow and crawling sensation of losing a hold on yourself and your sanity. The film expertly builds tension, and while we wouldn\u2019t dare spoil how it crescendos, trust us when we say it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Available to stream on Kanopy.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Witch_Who_Came_From_the_Sea_1976\"><\/span>The Witch Who Came From the Sea (1976)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-365409 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/The-Witch-Who-Came-From-The-Sea.jpg\" alt=\"The Witch Who Came From The Sea possession\" width=\"800\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/The-Witch-Who-Came-From-The-Sea.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/The-Witch-Who-Came-From-The-Sea-768x307.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/filmartgallery.com\/products\/possession?variant=23295188697173\">Much like<\/a> <em>Possession<\/em>, <strong>Matt Cimer<\/strong>\u2019s tragedy-tinged psychological horror film <strong><i>The Witch Who Came From The Sea<\/i><\/strong> boasts one of the most badass movie posters of all time. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/M\/MV5BMTFhOTQ0NDItYTVjMy00Nzg3LWE4NmQtZWZjMWFlZTc1OTgzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTQxNzMzNDI@._V1_.jpg\">No, seriously.

Difficult to watch and transfixing in equal measure, it thrusts us into the crumbling world of a woman in the throes of a complete and total (and murderous) breakdown. The film concerns Molly (<strong>Millie Perkins<\/strong>), a single woman who dotes upon her two young nephews and idolizes the memory of her sailor father who died at sea. Well, except that\u2019s not how her sister Cathy remembers it. According to Cathy, their father was a drunk who repeatedly sexually abused them. And while Molly\u2019s conscious mind rejects the facts, her subconscious has more vicious ways of confronting the sticky frustrations of her traumatic past.<\/p>\n<p><em>Available to stream on the Criterion Channel.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Brood_1979\"><\/span>The Brood (1979)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-357673 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Brood-Canadian-horror.jpg\" alt=\"The Brood Canadian Horror\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Brood-Canadian-horror.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/The-Brood-Canadian-horror-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, the screenplay for <em>Possession<\/em> was written while its director was in the midst of a painful divorce.

And when it comes to genre offerings that give off enormous \u201cThe Director of This Film is Working Through Their Very Messy Divorce On-Screen\u201d energy, you have to talk about <strong><em>The Brood<\/em><\/strong>. Conceived by <strong>David Cronenberg<\/strong> in the aftermath of an acrimonious divorce and custody battle, <em>The Brood<\/em> is the anti-venom to the round-edged, conciliatory portrait of marital strife as represented in the likes of <em>Kramer vs. Kramer<\/em>. <em>The Brood<\/em> tells of an exhausted dad named Frank (<strong>Art Hindle<\/strong>), who is embroiled in a custody battle with his deeply disturbed wife (<strong>Samantha Eggar<\/strong>), who is a permanent patient of an experimental psychotherapy clinic (it\u2019s run by <strong>Oliver Reed,<\/strong> so you know nothing sinister is going on there).
