Obsession - Movie Review!

Tyrone Magnus’s Review of Obsession

Tyrone Magnus says Obsession is far creepier than he expected. Its simple premise follows a nerdy guy who uses a strange wand from a magic shop to wish that his cooler, prettier friend will love him. The wish takes effect quickly—and, as Magnus puts it, the “car” sputters into motion before rapidly getting out of control.

The woman’s affection becomes an intense, increasingly aggressive and violent obsession. Magnus praises her performance as frighteningly convincing and notes that a few Exorcist-style callbacks hint at what may really be happening. He also credits the sound design, effects, and music with making him genuinely scared. He jokes that the male lead looks remarkably like a young Joaquin Phoenix.

Magnus gives the film 4.5 out of 5, calls it one of the best horror movies he’s seen, and predicts it could become a classic. He’d watch it again if it came on TV and strongly recommends it to horror fans. He keeps the ending under wraps.
