Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm. Bestes Beispiel: Brandon Cronenberg, Sohn von David Cronenberg, drehte den Film Possessor, der auch gut und gerne von seinem Vater stammen könnte. Entfremdung, Kontrollverlust, Bodyhorror, dafür ist Cronenberg bekannt und der vielversprechende SciFi-Horror-Thriller seines Sohnes schlägt in die gleiche Kerbe.

Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough) is a corporate agent who uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people’s bodies, driving them to commit assassinations for the benefit of the company. While she has a special gift for the work, her experiences on these jobs have caused a dramatic change in her, and in her own life, she struggles to suppress violent memories and urges. As her mental strain intensifies, she begins to lose control, and soon she finds herself trapped in the mind of a man (Christopher Abbott) whose identity threatens to obliterate her own.
