Obsession - Arvostelut

När komikern Curry Barker ger sig in i skräckgenren är det smart, annorlunda och otroligt läskigt.

...en demonisk dejtingsaga kryddad med brutalt våld och deppig incelkultur.

Filmens kraftcentrum är Inde Navarette som kärleksmonstret Nikki, sekundsnabbt skiftande mellan förförisk charm och psykotiska utbrott.

...tar den klassiska, varnande klyschan ”var försiktig med vad du önskar dig” och ger den en djupt modern, obehaglig twist som fungerar ungefär hälften av tiden.

Seriously powerful and seriously impressive.

...as good as Johnston is, Obsession belongs to Inde Navarrette who delivers one of the year's best performances that you won't be able to forget.

A boy wishes for a girl to love him, only to experience swift, nasty consequences, in this timely, creepy debut.

...the way in which it twists and warps the dusty material into a startling meditation on unhealthy infatuations is hugely impressive.

Put your hands over your face and clamp your popcorn bucket between your knees – here be jump-scares.

...distills the ambient gender-based resentment of 2020s internet culture into a horror film that could be described as an EC Comics-style pulp morality tale...

Love goes gruesomely awry in this horror twist on the needy partner.

The film’s big set pieces are as chilling in their effect as they are confident in their execution.

I was constantly torn between wanting to hide from the chaos and being unable to look away.

Definitely not for cat lovers.
