“It is a singular work – one so ghastly, so unique, and so brutal that it will awe some and disgust others.”~Slashfilm

Aroview: Brandon Cronenberg (ANTIVIRAL) wrote and directed this sci-fi horror about an assassin (Andrea Riseborough) who assumes control of other people's bodies to carry out murders for a secretive organisation.

Explores the fragile mental state of a person in this line of work, as her connection with her real identity becomes increasingly blurred with each job. A spectacularly violent and visceral film about the limits of the human mind and body, set within a compelling futuristic world of tech conspiracy.

4 stars (Very Good) Deeply nihilistic movie about someone destroying their own humanity works on multiple levels. The scene where someone has a job hijacking webcams to surveil people's material possessions sums up the themes nicely. ~Pearce
