★★★★★
“A brutal, expert vision of the next generation of hardcore horror”
– Josh Korngut / Dread Central
★★★★
“A frighteningly effective, and head-smashingly gory, cautionary tale”
– Benjamin Lee / The Guardian
“Combination of sadistic violence, ironic needle drops, and comedy mined from people responding to tragedy in pathetically self-serving ways will merit plenty of comparisons to Barbarian and Weapons.”
– Christian Zilko / IndieWire
“But what if you had actual control? What if, through a simple wish, you could make that person, the one you’ve loved from afar for what feels like a lifetime, love you? This is what Obsession posits when Bear (Michael Johnston) uses what appears to be a cheap party favor to gain the love of Nikki (Inde Navarrette), a girl he’s had a crush on since high school. While this seems more like the plot of a Disney Channel movie, the aftermath of said wish is more horrifying and disturbing than you’d ever expect.
It isn’t just one of the most stunning horror debuts of the last decade, but one of the scariest films of the 2020s. — [It] also walks the very tight line of comedy and horror; many scenes not only effortlessly bounce between the two, but also allow for moments that are equal parts of both”
– Spencer Brickey / Cinapse
