Horror Fans Are Furious About the Possession Remake (& It Makes Sense)

Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 film, Possession, is widely considered a classic, earning high scores from critics (88% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.3 on IMDb) and maintaining a strong reputation for decades. The strong reactions from fans aren’t about wanting to keep the film exclusive, but rather a deep appreciation for its unique qualities and a fear that its particular impact can’t be duplicated. For devoted viewers, trying to remake Possession feels wrong because it’s a truly singular and unforgettable cinematic experience.
