Obsession (2025)★ 8.0/10

The friendzone is a very real place where a lot of guys have tried to claw their way out of. A select few have succeeded, but most fail. In OBSESSION, Bear (Michael Johnston) is in love with his coworker/childhood friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette). At a convenience store, he buys a toy, a Wishing Willow. You get one wish, say it out loud, then break the willow in half. Bear wishes that Nikki loved him more than anyone in the world. He really shouldn’t have done that. As the movie goes on, Bear becomes a professional red-flag ignorer as Nikki slowly becomes more unhinged. This movie is a psychological horror, and it’s one of my favorite movies this year. It’s sadly relatable for a lot of guys. It’s unsettling, as good horror movies are. It’s terrifying in its subtlety, the way it lingers on certain scenes, making the audience feel like they have to take a moment outside. I actually physically gasped a few times. I’m not joking when I say Inde Navarrette deserves an Oscar for this performance. I finally figured out where I had seen her before, as the daughter from the SUPERMAN&LOIS TV series. This role will definitely help build a career if she is so inclined. This movie has a few very gory scenes, with one that needed to be cut down to avoid an NC-17 rating in the US. The budget for this is an unbelievable $750,000, and it’s made around $7 million in the first two days. It has become a fact that YouTubers make amazing, low budget horror movies. I’m so happy for the horror genre in general, even though they’re usually not good for my high startle reflex. 26-year-old writer/director Curry Barker has already filmed his next horror, called ANYTHING BUT GHOSTS, and he has been tasked with the reimagining of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. I’m excited. Overall, I’m simply obsessed with OBSESSION. I’m happy my wish came true, more amazing original movies that do well in the theatres. It’s an instant horror classic. Remember, be careful what you wish for.

Cool

Ganda.

In the moment, it was a great watch, although there are moments where I felt bored. Then, I started to realize how much they bite from other horror films and its somewhat lack of originality, and that bothered me. The performances are top notch, and the dialogue/premise/characters all felt very modern and fresh. Great ending too.

muy buena, lo recomiendo
