Possessed by the Night
Control. Once you lose it, you'll kill to get it back.
Directed by Fred Olen Ray
Produced by MDP Worldwide, Vision International
A lurid, creature-driven thriller that weaponizes sexual and violent impulses within a suburban setting, prioritizing transgression and body horror over coherence.
A horror writer buys an odd looking mutant embryo creature, pickled in a jar, from a shop in Chinatown, hoping it will be a creative inspiration for his work. Instead, the odd mutation provokes a rage of violence and lust to envelop the suburban villa where the writer lives with his wife and sexy secretary.
