The Movie Group Chat: Obsession

Is Obsession actually a great horror movie — or did Curry Barker make something even more important? Jeremy, Justin, and Chet get into one of the most talked-about horror movies of the year and debate what makes Obsession work, where it doesn’t, and why its impact goes far beyond whether you personally love the movie. The group breaks down Curry Barker’s filmmaking, the breakout performances from Inde Navarrette, Michael Johnston and Cooper Tomlinson, the movie’s incredible attention to visual detail, and why Obsession feels like a major moment for a new generation of filmmakers and moviegoers. Then the conversation gets deeper: Is Obsession really about love, control, possession, or simply being careful what you wish for? Was Bear a victim, a villain, or both? And the biggest question of all: who is actually responsible for everything that happens — Bear, the one-wish willow… or Ian? Plus, Chet catches some incredible filmmaking details on his second viewing — including the way Nikki and Bear are lit, the movie’s use of silhouettes and foreshadowing, and the little choices that may explain why Obsession connected so strongly with audiences. Whether you think Obsession is great, overrated, iconic, or somewhere in between, there’s a lot to talk about. We believe in movies.
