A Slimy, Seductive Sex Squid in Andrzej Żuławski’s POSSESSION
We’re kicking off our INTERNATIONAL EEKS triple feature with Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 cult classic Possession. Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani’s infamous Berlin breakdown becomes the backdrop for one of cinema’s strangest monsters—a slimy, seductive tentacled being. We dig into the film’s 6 monster reveals, the unforgettable subway scene, the Cold War paranoia beneath the story, and how themes of love, control, and identity feed into the horror. In our conversation on Possession, we found a great balance of serious analysis and our usual off-the-rails banter. From James Bond to human dildos, we explore what makes this monster introduction so disturbing and iconic.
