Grim, unsettling, and dark. The tone of this movie is perfect and has some Eraserhead-like qualities to it, along with fantastic puppet design that'll creep you out. More movies need to be made like this.

Positives first, the soundtrack is outstanding referencing the 1970's British made for TV spooky thrillers or ghost stories from that period of which the film is set. The landscapes also generate such a repressed and unsettling atmosphere. However, this psychological drama is executed in a way that will frustrate many. It's not a spoiler to say that 'Possum' could well be in the mind of main actor Philip, and the twist revealed in the last 5 minutes in the show down with his uncle helps to unravel the mystery..

I wanted desperately to like this film. The trailer made promises of a slow building creepfest that would stick in the back of my head like bubblegum. The audio mixing throughout was terrible. The only voices you could make out was the single line of the two neds on the stairwell and another sentence when the headmaster told Philip to leave. Yet, somehow the sound in the trailer was absolutely spot on - especially on all the bits that I found myself being so critical about in the final film. The puppet was interesting though, so I suppose there's that?
