Obsession

Saw this again last night and I’m bumping my initial already high rating. On paper Obession is your classic “Monkey’s Paw/Wish Gone Wrong” story but it’s how director Curry Barker uses the classic premise to create such an unsettling and uncomfortable film and I think it’s why it is so effective. Rock Burwell’s synth score for this film is what helps makes this work as well shifting from intimate, to unsettling, to downright terrifying. Inde Navarette’s performance in this movie is one of my favorites this year, everything she brings to this character keeps you invested and on the edge of your suit. There’s honestly so much to appreciate and love about this film, every aspect of filmmaking is beautifully brought together to create such an incredible and unsettling experience one we will continue to talk about out for years to come.
