Obsession

i’m so fucking out of it i can’t even write my review yall are gonna have to wait and come back all you need to know is that i’ve just watched the greatest fucing movie of all time edit from when i finally came to: i tried to dumb down my hopes thinking this will probably just be another longlegs/weapons that people will eventually get over, but i mean i absolutely loved both of those movies… let me tell you, the bar was through the roof, jumped it by a mile. the moment he snaps his one wish willow, you can feel the shift as if we had just been hypnotized as well, the following hour and a half is a dizzying roller coaster into the deepest layers of hell. i cannot explain enough the amount of stress i had watching this movie, i said people were gonna be so annoyed with me after watching this movie, but i know my entire theater was annoyed of me DURING the movie. i swear even watching it with a fair crowd in a dolby cinema wasn’t enough to sound out my screams of pure shock and terror. this movie holds back on absolutely nothing, it will not hold your hand and tell you things will be okay, trust that it will only get worse… some obvious highlights, we’ve all been talking about inde navarette… she is a fucking super star, i wish to give her every award in the fucking world. a fairly normal girl who is put under an unfair spell, you can feel the unnaturalness of this mysterious new presence, even in the more normal moments, her character gives codependency a whole new meaning. every second she’s on screen makes you all the more uncomfortable, even otherwise, her presence is always felt. another performance i would love to highlight is that of micheal johnston because together, they’re the ultimate power couple. watching an incel loser, taking over a girls life and get his life ruined by his irrational decision making, was still the absolute worst, curry barker knows how to make me feel horrible. he doesn’t think about anyone but himself and his image and you can feel his regret settling in right after that first night, but he still can’t help but be pulled into his impossible fantasy and once he realizes what he’s doing is wrong, things are too far gone, he had become a full bag of shit. other honorable mentions, i loved the soundtrack with its lovey dovey chords and frightening screech’s, i loved the way it was shot, shadows play an essential role in this movie and its shortened aspect ratio makes things more personal and claustrophobic, had to keep backing into my seat at every moment. i love the way it drags it’s simplicity into some thing far more sinister and creates a tale of every persons worst nightmare, a man. nikki wouldn’t even want to choose the man or the bear after this, she’ll just say pull the trigger. really though i can’t think of anything i disliked from the top of my head, i like the mystery surrounding it. this is the first horror movie that is actually about to keep me up at night, not just because of its gnarly source material, but because of it was absolutely amazing… okay bye
