Dont really watch horror like that this movie was lowkey traumatizing lmao

went into this with somewhat low expectations but rly enjoyed it this to me is how you make effective horror - simple concept based on a relatable situation, but taken to an eerie extreme.

Navarette's performance was the make or break for the whole thing and she delivered a homerun for sure, but I also appreciate that there's definitely layers to the on the surface fairly simple story.

I appreciate the obvious but still imo deep overarching message that you can't "own" the person you love and your fantasy "perfect" version of them is not what you would actually want - you love people because they fascinate and surprise you and also because they live and change. it's definitely exposing a lot of toxic immature expectations for a relationship there.

I also found it interesting at first that after Nikki is replaced the relationship is obviously weird and toxic, but it first seems almost more like Bear maybe got weak boundaries and letting himself be abused by an overly needy partner in his desperate want for love (I've also seen a lot of ppl note how Fake Nikki's behaviour mirrors a partner w BPD), but then it increasingly becomes clear that in fact he's just insanely selfish and abusive for keeping her in this state and in fact really is taking advantage of the situation just as his friends say.

The whole concept of Nikki being kept in a type of purgatory while her body is taken over by a slave demon is absolutely insane and horrifying to imagine. One of the only shortcomings of the film imo is that you're so stuck in Bears perspective when this perspective would've arguably been so much more scary but I also get that pulling it off would've probably required a larger budget.

LETS F***ING GO

Going through this thread and seeing discourse on other platforms. Sinners doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as this masterpiece

overdue Marvel mogging

one can only hope this revives interest for studios to invest in low or mid-budget productions

Both amazing original horror films

And it’s great that we are in an era where both were box office hits

Deserved

I was thinking about this the other day as I was watching another "horror" film, Together (2025), because it had a lot of scenes that just let the tension breathe.

But when I think about Obsession, you don't really have those moments once the third act kicks off and it just snowballs.

I think it might be deliberate. A film too long wouldn't hold people's attention.

lmaoooo, basically, yeah. But I feel like that diminishes Obsession and I really enjoyed it. I'll take it over the usual horror slop we get.

masterpiece

if he's a real one he'll never do a direct sequel

We WILL be purchasing

This movie is ass and Michael Johnston being a Kirk clone is incredibly distracting

Come on man tell me I'm wrong

Can't say I see the resemblance

did anyone else think Michael Johnston's line delivery is very Joaquin Phoenix-esque? def seems like he studied his mumble to me

really don't get this either ngl kirk got this shrunk down Lil' Bits face don't think Johnston got that

This film is getting the discussion that Strange Darling aspired to get but all the way bungled up

Uncle charlie movie gonna go hard af

Concept is really good for a horror film. Watching rn, 30 mins in and the s*** is mad uncomfortable.

get off your phone and pay attention to the film :vlosereave:
