OBSESSION



Obsession (2025) directed by Curry Barker. There are some wild Generation Z and Millennial horror films being made right now, and this is one of them. "It's not a romance, but a love story." It nods to plenty of predecessors—Single White Female, The Exorcist, Weapons—while navigating its own path. If you liked It Follows, this will provide the same intensity and unstoppable pursuit. If you liked Fatal Attraction, this will provide the same off-kilter (and stomach-churning) madness. If you liked Big, then this is the horror version. (This was The Wife's observation.) There were some classic jump scares that caught the entire audience off guard, even when they almost announced themselves. Recommended.

Watched at the Grand Cinema in Tacoma.
