Obsession

*obsessed *HEAVILY over inde navarette in here, and everything else. thank you to everyone involved for making such a huge banger of a film hi everyone‼️ hope you like my new layout, it’s so sad i can’t keep it like this forever, it’s such an aesthetic. no i have not watched it four times already, it’s just for the layout, but this review is the second time ive watched it, literally the next day. after watching it yesterday and seeing how much it affected me, i didn’t even know if it was worth a rewatch, not because it’s bad of course, but seriously, this shit messed me up, even this time around. this time, i saw it with my amazing dad, he knew nothing other than i showed him my review from yesterday, so i practically introduced it to him. he asked if i wanted to see it with him to which i said of course i would love to, and i am so proud to say that he loved it. i don’t know all of his thoughts, but i told him he needs to write a letterboxd review about all of his feelings, so hopefully he does that, he doesn’t really write reviews. as someone who loved this movie, seeing his reactions were absolutely priceless and the first thing he said to me when i asked what he thought was “straszny” which means scary in polish. seriously, i haven’t seen him this freaked out by a movie in so long and it makes me so happy. we could hardly stop talking about it the whole car ride back, i had to drive cause he said he felt like he was gonna puke, me too dad, me too. we share a lot of the same compliments towards the movie, he immediately compared it to goosebumps because that shit was my favorite growing up, and of course he praised the amazing inde navarette, calling her “such a scary woman” but also very empathetic for her. he couldn’t stop talking about how badly he fumbled, saying “it was like he never loved her at all” and how he (bear) could've made it work because he did in-fact wish for it. i felt like maybe he missed the point of the movie, but like at the same time, yes, clock his tea, it was still very sweet to see him get so sentimental. but yeah, those were his thoughts, here’s more of mine. i can’t believe it still hit me so hard again, seriously, looking at it now, the trailers, though amazing, seem so misleading, they still don’t capture the creepiness of this movie. i think a huge part of that, which i don’t see enough people talking about, is the absolutely amazing sound design. horror is known for having the best and this movie was even more proof, i don’t even know how to explain it, but it starts off all nice and nostalgic almost, it’s like a gen z’ers dream. then it only sinks into madness, and there’s some shit during those final ten minutes that will truly keep me marveling about it, it’s like the movie starts to yell with nikki and become just as fierce as her. every action feels so much deeper and unsettling, it feels like you’re connecting to whatever entity is inside of nikki, it craves every chance she gets to show her devotion and it gets so under your skin, like it cuts your flesh and climbs inside, and it will stay inside of me tonight… i think it’s fair to say that my relationship with this movie is just like nikki’s, i truly don’t think it will ever leave my mind, it’s possessed me and i want every moment of it. okay bye
