Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, starring Isabelle Adjani & Sam Neill, is set for a Limited Dual Edition 4K Box Set release

A horror film like no other, Andrzej Żuławski’s seminal Possession is an intense and shocking experience that was originally banned in the UK and placed on the notorious ‘Video Nasties’ list. Now, this hugely controversial film gets a long-awaited and highly anticipated Limited Edition release in a stunning new 4K restoration, from physical media masters Second Sight Films.

With their marriage in tatters Anna (Adjani) and Mark’s (Neill) tense relationship has become a psychotic descent into screaming matches, violence and self-mutilation. Believing his wife’s only lover is the sinister Heinrich, Mark is unaware of the diabolical, tentacled creature that Anna has embarked on an affair with. The unhinged woman visits her monstrous lover in a deserted Berlin apartment and will stop at nothing to protect him. With its dark subject matter and high gore quotient, Possession will have you firmly in its grip and is not for the faint hearted.

Nominated for a Palme d’Or, the pivotal film stars Isabelle Adjani (Subway, La Reine Margot) in a truly formidable performance as a woman spiralling out of control as her marriage breaks down, which earned her two Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Césars. Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Omen III – The Final Conflict) gives a powerful turn as the husband, struggling to deal with the devastation of a failing relationship. The film is made even more intense by awe-inspiring special effects from FX maestro and three-time Oscar® winner Carlo Rambaldi (Alien, E.T.).

The film is set to make waves once more when its Limited Dual Edition Box Set is released on 8 December 2025, complete with a slew of special features. The set is presented in a striking, rigid slipcase with Basha’s original theatrical artwork and a 220-page hardback book and comes with a slew of compelling features, including the North American re-edit: newly restored from an archive print, new audio commentaries, master of horror Guillermo del Toro’s take on Possession and much more. See the full list below.
