15. Possessor
Brandon Cronenberg confirms himself to be his father David's son with this ambitious, deeply twisted sci-fi horror film, focused on Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough), a "possessor" who hijacks people's consciousness in order to carry out assassinations on the behalf of wealthy clients.
Cronenberg's film is a gamy mix of heady psychological horror, as Tasya begins to lose grip on her own sense of identity, and gnarly body horror, delivering all the nauseating violence you'd expect from a filmmaker with the surname Cronenberg.
It's not for the faint of stomach - obviously - but nevertheless one of the most creative genre films of the year, and one immaculately performed by not only Riseborough but also co-star Christopher Abbott.
