Obsession Director: Curry Barker Cast: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, Andy Richter Rating: ★★★★★ I am breaking a cardinal rule of mine for movie reviews with Obsession. This will be a spoiler-filled review. Usually, I talk about how a film has been made and how it made me feel, and that is enough. But with Obsession, it is impossible to discuss its impact or critique it without the specifics of those scenes and themes. To say that Obsession will go down in history as one of the seminal horror films is no exaggeration. Curry Barker’s feature film debut is everything horror needs to be – dark, tragic, scary, and discomforting. But it is so much more. It shines a mirror onto our society’s most privileged and ubiquitous monster – the nice guys. And it does so in a way that feels relatable across genders.
