POSSUM

OUT 26 OCTOBER

“Can you spy him deep within, little possum black as sin?” Beautifully made but furiously obtuse, this Lynchian debut from writer/director Matthew Holness feels like The Babadook rewritten by Samuel Beckett. Set in the Norfolk backwaters, where Sean Harris is tormented by Alun Armstrong’s abusive patriarch, the atmosphere unnerves, but it’s more haunting short than fully realised feature.
