12 Sci Fi Films That Will Melt Your Brain

Starring Jurassic Park’s Sam Neill as its disturbed protagonist, the opening half of 1981’s mysterious drama Possession will leave you wondering what it’s doing on a list of the best trippy sci-fi films.

After all, the movie is basically a dark character study as director Andrzej Zulawski observes a marriage crumbling slowly due to distrust and paranoia.

Then the takes a turn into sci-fi horror headf*** territory as some stock standard infidelity becomes far more slithery and Lovecraftian than expected, a twist which could easily have been laughable but thanks to Neill and his superb co-star Isabelle Adjani is instead deeply disturbing and effective.
