Does this movie remind you of Hellraiser?

Woman brings the evil creature men.
Creature is from another world.

I always thought so - though Possession is rather more layered and less literal than Hellraiser.

Hellraiser is Clive Barker doing what he does best: mixing sex with gore and strange worlds.

Possession is like HP Lovecraft meets David Lynch and decide to make a movie together.

Yes, it totally does! I'll bet Clive Barker is a fan of this film, & obviously this unique genre.

Yes, I thought of particular scenes while watching this film. I would like to know if Clive Barker is a fan, too.
