Insanity - that's the word that came to my mind regarding "Possum's" style and atmosphere. A slow-burn psychological horror drama, carried out creepily by all the right lonely-and-isolated settings & frames, and weird, but undeniably great acting. It's obvious, that this is a low-low-budget indie & also a master class of what you can achieve with little budget and devoted actors. The director, probably Inspired by the works of David Lynch, delivers an amazingly shot creepy take centered around a doll (and a poem about it) & it's maker, but fails to deliver a conclusion. The ending was not ominous or thought provoking or anything like that, it was just anticlimactic and the story felt unfinished. All that buildup for a void at the end. However, the disappointment at the end did not ruin my overall opinion on this movie - this is a great creepy-crawly watch for anyone that enjoys art-house cinema, cinematic weirdnesses & slow-burning psychological horror movies. Probably one of the best horror movies I've seen involving a doll. This one's real scary lookin'. Do not come seeking violence, blood, action or your usual ghosts n killers. 7/10
