Obsession

it is delightful to see a horror with an original idea and not just a supernatural entity. bears wish slowly stripped nikki of all autonomy, identity and sense of self, making her mind and her body two very separate components. the real horror is a man knowingly shaping a woman until she fits his fantasy, more obsessed with ‘is your love real?’ whilst ignoring her very real and obvious suffering. the poetry scene was genius and really solidified the horror of what she was experiencing, as well as the mental gymnastics bear must’ve been performing to somehow justify and live with himself. the acting was superb and some scenes were so genuinely creepy i felt physically ill
