    Bear was a r@pist. Periodt. Ian was a snake of a friend who encouraged Bear to pursue her, even though he was hooking up with Nikki. Sarah was a classic pick-me, “one of the boys” girl. OH MY POOR GIRL NIKKI, CRYING AND BEGGING TO BE PUT DOWN, BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE.

    What hit me most about Obsession is that a day later, I still cannot stop thinking about it. And I think that’s because the film is operating on a much smarter level than its premise initially suggests. This is the kind of setup that could have gone wrong in so many obvious ways. It could have become broad “hashtag cinema,” where the creepy possessive guy simply learns a lesson about toxic masculinity. It also could have accidentally drifted into ugly territory where the film frames the woman as somehow deserving punishment for “friend-zoning” him, as if she had been manipulating his feelings all along. But what’s fascinating is that the movie avoids both traps almost entirely. This film works because…

    It’s been a few months since i’ve seen this. I still check the corner of my room for Nicky. this movie scared me to my CORE. I think from a girls perspective, this movie genuinely hits a different. not having autonomy of your body… actually makes me sick to think about. BEAR can absolutely die. after he hears Nicky BEG for him to kill her… and makes it about himself. No thanks. This is one of those movies that is so visually amazing and makes you forget that you’re watching from a screen. 10/10 but cannot watch it again for the sake of being schizophrenic.

    Despues de verla quede impactada. Que pedazo de pelicula ,solo puedo decir. Fue increible la incapacidad del hombre de darse cuenta que todo eso estaba mal, hizo mierda la vida de una chica hermosa, buena y talentosa para cubrir su propia necesidad, aca el verdadero monstruo era el, lo peor de todo es que si cabia la posibilidad de anular el hechizo ni si quiera lo queria como opcion despues de las tantisimas cosas horribles que ya habian pasado.

    De très bonnes idées et le film répond brillamment à son objectif cad nous mettre dans un état de stress et de peur constant. Film assez prévisible et scénario facile toutefois. En mini série ça aurait été top pour prendre le temps et exploiter au mieux l’univers.

    ”Bear, I think we should break up…😘” I don’t think anyone ”enjoys” horror films (movies). No… I don’t ”think”. I KNOW people don’t enjoy them. They CANT POSSIBLY feel good feelings while watching straight bullshit!! You all say you like coffee, but it’s only because it’s kind of weird and non-conformist to say otherwise. And as you all know, I am immune to all human conformities, 🙄, because I… ( insert that one scene from Thor: Ragnarok where Jeff Goldblum…

    Indie Naverette really showed her diversification as an actress though this performance. The rawness and versatility of her emotions throughout this movie was absolutely insane to watch! Aside from the above, all I have left to say is WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F**K DID I JUST WITNESS 😂

    MaddynovaPepper ☮︎ 8 月 22, 2026

    FUCKING. HELL. That was horrifying. I somehow had NO idea going in that this was going to be so scary I genuinely jumped out of my skin at every jumpscare and had to pause frequently whenever some slow tense scene came on to brace myself from what ever horror or inevitable jumpscare I would have to experience next. This is probably the most terrified for my life I’ve ever been whilst watching something 😭 Honestly lost all sympathy I had towards Bear the second they showed him using chatgpt like lmao fuck him I’m not American enough to even take that stupid name seriously anyways 💀

    J’ai vu peu de films d’horreur mais celui là est celui qui m’a fait le plus peur DE LOIN. Je me suis chié dessus tout le film (comme dans le film lol). J’ai même crié pour la scène de la voiture 😋. Je trouve la plus part les films d’horreur prévisibles et là justement ses actions sont tellement imprévisibles que tu t’attends à une dinguerie à tout moment et au final c’est pas ce à quoi tu pensais 🥳. La fin est classique mais c’est ok 👻

    Really enjoyed this. Logically upped the stakes bit by bit until it hits you with a brick (hehe). Inde Navarette – a star! I can see why more “respectable” actresses are turning to horror: because it’s fun! Apparently the YouTuber director wrote the movie after doing the Aaron Sorkin Masterclass which is quite charming. RIP Ian the one good billionaire.

    Esse filme me fez tanta mas tanta raiva que assim que eu terminei eu tava considerando dar 1 estrela e ai percebi que ele cumpriu exatamente ao que se propõe que é fazer você passar raiva e agonia. Realmente ele foi certeiro: essa situação seria de fato um filme de terror pra qualquer mulher. Ele e companion me fazendo passar as maiores raivas do mundo e odiar 100% mais homens.

    Definetly one of the best horror movies I have watched so far, mainly because the topics tackled are the most eerie, disturbing part, instead of cheap, unbelievable jumscares. Bear our protagonist is set up as the typical cinema cliché of a well meaning shy “nice guy” who is in love with a friend. And the real horror of his character was seeing him continuusly believing this about himself while comepletely ignoring the horror his best friend is going through, just…

    10/10 don’t want to watch again. The way this indie film discusses such a nuanced topic in such a discreet way is part of the reason I love it so much. Inde Navarrette’s character Nikki is portrayed so beautifully that I am still scared she is going to appear out of the dark. This movie is so disturbing it’s perfect

    i loved how freaked out we were when we both watched this movie together, i expected the movie to be corny at first but i was actually amazed by the cinematic quality and acting of both inde and michael. I think my favorite scene would be when nicky smashed sarah’s head and the scene i hated the most would probably be when bear and nicky were doing it and she just looked so lifeless, it makes me think ab the genuine horror of SA in the real world.

    *Spoilers* Horror is my favorite genre. I’ve seen a lot of horror movies. I don’t scare very easily but there were moments that genuinely gave me anxiety and had my heart racing. I was on the edge of my seat, leaning forward, completely engaged during some scenes. My favorite scene has to be when she’s watching him sleep. The actress that played Nikki killed it. She carried this movie. Bear was alright. I think the actor did well but his…

    I really enjoyed this film, and I am so in awe of how good a film it is given the extremely low budget that it had. It was creepy in a way that I didn’t expect, and I really enjoyed Inde Naverette’s performance; it is definitely the start of a successful acting career for her.
