The horror film 'Obsession' is rapidly gaining popularity among genre enthusiasts and is poised to become one of the highest-rated horror movies of the year. With its gripping narrative and intense scenes, the movie is expected to shatter box office records. Moviegoers have flooded social media with reviews, praising the film's horror elements and graphic violence.
Fans and Netizens Rave About 'Obsession'
Netizens have been expressing their admiration for 'Obsession' and the performances of lead actors Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette. Many have highlighted the film's gore sequences, with some noting that certain scenes filmed by Inde appear deliberately unrealistic. A detailed post from one viewer read: 'Finished reading the Obsession screenplay, and Curry clarifies that when Nikki throws up on Bear, it is mostly stomach acid from lack of food, indicating further that she was so entrapped in “loving” Bear that she ignored the most basic human necessities.' Another fan praised Inde's acting, referencing a scene where she walks inhumanely behind Bear: 'Dis s**** right here gave me goosebumps lol super creepy.' Another social media user added: 'Just been to cinema to see this. It's good. Inde Navarette is one hell of an actress. 8/10.'
Bear Has Become the New Villain
Amid the excitement, many are focusing on a particular scene that reveals a deeper layer of the story. Netizens have shared that this scene proves neither Nikki nor the entity that possessed her is evil; instead, Bear is the true villain. The pivotal moment occurs when Nikki begs Bear to free her from the curse, and he responds: 'What's so wrong with being with me?' This line has sparked intense discussion online, with fans interpreting it as Bear's refusal to let Nikki go due to his need for control. One fan explained: 'The real horror of Obsession isn’t Nikki, it’s Bear, because Bear represents a kind of horror that is very real for so many women. Men whose ego, obsession, entitlement, and need for control can completely ruin your life and alter your future forever. He did not love Nikki; he just loved the idea of her and the fantasy of being chosen.' Another person added: 'Love how nobody understood that the true message of Obsession is for men who idealise their crush to unrealistic levels. Bear didn't love Nikki; he loved the idea of her. He didn't know the real Nikki.' The same netizen expressed: 'Bear's blind love for Nikki was his downfall.'
