Obsession (2026)
[SPOILER WARNING] I’ve seen it twice now and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I think they did a really great job at making a believable villain who slowly gets worse as the film unfolds. My friend Violet pointed out to me that towards the end Bear comes to Ian with two wish willows, one for Ian to undo his initial wish, and a second for him (which he hides) to alter his wish to keep Nikki. Overall pretty disturbing movie but also funny when it needed to be. Not a fan of super in your face horror, so this was just my pace. I also really liked the soundtrack or rather that one ambient track. The 4:3 pissed me off a little. I get the whole nostalgia thing but I don’t really think the film would’ve lost too much without it. I guess it plays on the whole small-town-love-story thing but eh…sucks to watch a movie with two gaping black bars on either side.
