Y'all don't sleep on this one. It was a wild, strange, horrifying and unsettling and really had us guessing throughout the movie. Also it gave us one the biggest Jumpscares ever. Keep in mind it is a slow burn but we personally didn't mind it. Now I can't wait to watch "Possum Ending Explained" videos!

Shout out to VIP Member Rob Server (Formerly RGviewing) for the recommendation!!

After returning to his childhood home, a disgraced children's puppeteer is forced to confront his wicked stepfather and the secrets that have tortured his entire life.

okay pausing with my theory. The main character abducted the boy and his body is in that room he won't go in. I also think Maurice isn't real or is dead. I think the spider-man puppet represents his past and it's haunting him. Edit: That jump scare got me! That was such a sad and disturbing movie. I liked it!

Outstanding Performances: The lead acting by Sean Harris (as a disgraced puppeteer returning to his childhood home) and Alun Armstrong (as his menacing uncle) .

This movie really got to me. Keen to see what you think!

I gathered that he WAS the possum the whole time as "playing dead" is a common response to sexual abuse and he suppressed the memory of it and that truth is what he was running from

Thanks for the reaction, I saw this movie a while ago and wanted to see what other people thought of it. In addition to everything that has been said, I think the spider's legs are a reference to Maurice's fingers🫣🫪.

I actually have not heard of this, have not watched it and am about to right now!

While I don't know that I actually *enjoyed* this movie necessarily, I do like specifically how the puppet was handled. To me it seemed the puppet was basically a personification of his trauma. In this instance his trauma was ugly and scary to him and it was also disturbing and scary to other people (something that can unfortunately be the case when trying to talk about trauma with people. Been there for sure..) and they pushed him away and basically scolded him for showing it. He carried it with him everywhere. He was always aware it was there just inside his bag (barely hidden under the surface?) as he was walking around in public. He tried his best to get rid of it. To throw it out but, it kept reappearing next to him, he couldn't escape it no matter how hard he tried. As someone who has ✨️plenty of trauma✨️ and has been in therapy since they were 12, this aspect of the movie spoke to me very deeply and felt very accurate. The rest of the movie I will say just really wasnt my vibe. I found the stuff with the uncle so disturbing to the point of me considering turning it off just because like... to me I was like "okay we get it. We understand what the uncle did. We dont have to sit and watch it for THIS long" it started to sort of feel like torture p*rn or a snuff film? I'm not one to turn off a disturbing movie or anything, I think the ONLY movie I've ever actually turned off and not finished was the Serbian film (please for the love of everything good never watch that movie. Those directors should be investigated) so its not necessarily that what the uncle was doing was too disturbing or upsetting, it just felt unnecessary and like a cheap way to get us to be uncomfortable I guess? I'm not sure, I didn't hate the movie, like I said I loved the puppet part of it. But I didn't really love the movie either. But I can see why some people would *really* vibe with it. Side note: I kept thinking the main character was strangely really reminding me of Victor from "From". Now I see why. They're both men with such severe trauma it causes them to be child like. Also the actor for the MC killed it, especially at the end.
