Eight years after his debut feature “Antiviral,” Brandon Cronenberg made the provocative sci-fi body horror, “Possessor,” which pushed the envelope when it came to exploring the relationship between the mind and the body. Brilliant and subversive, “Possessor” explores an alternate timeline in which the virtual takeover of bodies is possible — a technique used by assassin Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough) to carry out her hits. However, when Vos’ consciousness enters Colin Tate (Christopher Abbott), the latter’s psyche fights back to regain control of his body, leaving Vos reeling with the after-effects of a fragmented mind and the steady erosion of identity.
