Brandon Cronenberg (son of horror filmmaker David) wrote and directed this movie about, you guessed it, possession.

If you like all things sci-fi and horror, go ahead and watch this.

You Are Not My Mother is a claustrophobic, slow-burn tale that will engulf you. It features Char, a bright teenage girl who lives with her grandmother and her mentally ill mother, Angela.

This Finnish creature film is straight out of your feathered nightmares. The film features Tinya, a 12-year-old girl who discovers a strange egg that hatches into a monstrous bird.

You can watch and come to your own conclusions.

This addition to the Predator franchise is set in the Comanche nation 300 years ago and focuses on a young warrior named Naru. Watch this for a compelling underdog story about a man determinedly fighting against a powerful alien.
