waking up this morning thinking about this scene from Backrooms (2026)
as someone who doesn’t really like found footage, this found footage part in the film is one of the most striking, eerie scenes from horror. just bone chilling.
I won't give it away but there are some moments in Obsession where Nikki is fighting to regain her agency and I found them to be equal parts terrifying and heartbreaking. She's very much the victim of the film & glad Curry Barker took time to convey that. #obsessionmovie
Bear’s the real villain in Obsession but it’s more complex than just him being bad. The whole friend group had a toxic, transactional dynamic. Scariest part of the movie is that they don’t set out to do bad things, they just don’t communicate because they can’t accept the truth.
inde navrarette’s vocal work and physicality in obsession was truly remarkable, the way she was able to move her body is seriously some of the most uncanny shit i have ever seen, i hope she sticks with the horror genre, this is a star in the making…
I'm glad he said this because it's MY biggest takeaway from the film. Obsession is ultimately a tragedy where a woman is stripped of her autonomy for the sake of fulfilling a "nice guy's" fantasy.
thinking about wish nikki being cast in shadow. thinking about wish nikki’s eyes shining. thinking about how effective the sound design is. what a fucking film man!!
Obsession is low budget horror done to near perfection.
Proof that you don’t need a 100 million dollar budget when you cast well, have an outstanding script and genuinely believe in your vision.
Everyone delivers an outstanding performance here but it’s Inde Navarrette who steals the show. Delivering one of the greatest and most terrifying performances in horror history. A true scream queen in the making.
The scares are terrifying, the tension will have you in a vice grip and the tragedy that unfolds is a cautionary tale of male insecurity, being completely oblivious and stripping away someone’s very identity; whether you meant to or not.
The 2020 decade for horror is rivaling the 1970s or 1980s as the greatest single decade for horror and Obsession is just another example of why.
Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.
