She stares...
For a very long time.
She smiles...
For a very long time.
She thinks...
For a very long time.
Stares.
Smiles.
Contemplation.
A highly lethal combination born from a dark wish.
You wished she would notice you..
You wished she would reciprocate the same crush on you..
You wished she would fall for you.
But be careful what you wish for.
Better yet—
Be careful when manipulating thoughts and
emotions that were never yours to control.
Because that is when obsession isn't just obsession
anymore.
It becomes something far more dangerous and
ungovernable..
While the premise itself isn't particularly original, the film's actual atmosphere is what gets the movie over. It wasn't just the plot, but the execution that made Obsession quite unsettling.
The prolonged stares.
The lingering smiles.
The moments of silence.
And the internal bellowing sounds did not sound anything like Nikki, but sounded like something else plotting right inside her..
The lead actress, Inde Navarette, carries much of that unease, delivering a performance that kept me invested even when I felt I knew where the story was headed.
Original?
Not particularly.
Effective?
Absolutely.
