Obsession

Never in my 18 years of life consuming Horror media have I been this terrified while watching a horror film. These new and young Horror film directors know what they are fucking doing dude. They know EXACTLY what scares the younger generations because they grew up with the same Internet Horror that we did. Their are so many inspirations from old analog Horror in this film that even new analog Horror has not been able to replicate but this film did it perfectly. Ever since I was 7 years old and watched some random YouTube video of a women doing a makeup tutorial and randomly smashing her face into her table It has traumatised me and always been something in horror that gets a visceral reaction out of me. And this film did just fucking that. I have never covered and held my face tighter than in this film. The tension build up was slow and random, you had no idea when the next jumpscare or whatever was going to happen it. You knew it was coming you just had zero idea WHEN it was going to happen. The techniques used to make Nikki's character so horrorfying were absolute masterclasses. Whatever they cooked up for when she would walk backwards like in stop motion sent my stomach into fucking knots dude. Horror as a genre is currently peaking in this day and age.
