Just got out too. I called the cat sandwich and my gf called that she would say his breath smelled weird and we were both right

Hopefully we get more movies like this and we stop the insanely short theatrical runs for any movie without existing IP


Give it a few months and you’re gonna get like 10 threads of guys on here going “finally watched Obsession, don’t get the hype. Overrated” guaranteed

Glad it got pushed back, that window was ridiculous. Going to see Backrooms tomorrow, glad to see some new blood get some attention and do well at the box office.

The scene on the porch with her veiled in shadow with the red/orange catchlights in her eyes was super cool too


Best scene in the movie.

Outstanding.

I finally went and saw this, first time setting foot in a theater in 5 years or more.

It was a good movie for sure:
-Outstanding acting by both lead characters
-Unnerving throughout the movie
-Some small comedic moments kept it interesting
-Great use of lighting and score

I'm not sure it lived up to all the hype but I definitely enjoyed it. I said in another thread that I think the bar is so low for new movies, that any really good movie is a standout.

I think this movie also benefitted from being seen in a theater versus the small screen.

The scenes where real Nikki would snap out of it and/or regain control for a split second were so well-acted it unsettled the shite out of me

SPOILERS for The Chair:

Curry Barker loves that technique. (link should start around 11:24)

I loved it.
One of the creepiest movies in a long time.

Nikki is incredible. The ending was changed because she was so good in it.

Just brilliant, even more so when you consider the budget. Writing is top notch and the lead actress is fantastic

Nicki reminded me of all the crazy count I dealt with in college


It has to be at least partially inspired by living with a borderline partner. Exaggerated, of course, but the core sentiment is nearly identical

that girl probably wasn't even acting. That's what your normal gen z tik tok girl somehow acts like now.
