The premise
Tasya Vos, an elite corporate assassin, uses brain-implant technology to take control of other people’s bodies to terminate high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment, Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her.
Horror Vault's take
In a sleek near-future, elite assassin Tasya Vos carries out contract killings by hijacking living bodies via cutting-edge implant technology — walking away clean while her unwitting hosts take the fall. Her latest assignment places her inside a man whose inner life proves far more resistant than expected, blurring the boundary between controller and controlled. Brandon Cronenberg crafts a visceral, hypnotic descent into fractured identity where the real horror isn't the target — it's the erasure of the self. Stunning performances and uncompromising visuals make this one of the most unsettling sci-fi horror films of the 2020s.
