Icky and unsettling, this British horror film crawls under your skin.

CineVue by Christopher Machell

Possum’s evocation of wrongness, that unbalancing feeling that something is off – if only you could put your finger on it – lingers long after its overdetermined climax has resolved.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

This film induces a grisly shiver, like a slug dropped down the back of your neck, and there are some amazing images. But I wondered if it was finally unfinished and anticlimactic.
