“Are You Coming To Get Me?”

“Righteous anger won’t hurt me for long! You have to mean it, Potter!”

How colorful that the “protagonist” is the villain and his name is Bear. Though, this is why “not all men, but some of them” is what’s here. He comes off as a nice guy , meek, and soft spoken and you wouldn’t think he’s the villain but then it’s clear that he clearly doesn’t really know about nor care that deeply for Nikki. He just wishes to have her and keep her without putting in extra work to keep the relationship genuine and uncertain and strips her of her autonomy.

I loved this movie.

finally watched obsession for the first time yesterday. that was one of the most effective horror movies I've watched in a while, the beginning is a bit shaky but everything after the willow branch snapping is really strong work. i'll never watch it again

"this guy's a fucking loser. BABE LOOK AT THIS FUCKIN GUY" *rewinds*

*my dad after Nikki asked bear if he liked her and he said no*

"I'm so sorry." OBSESSION (2025)

I was watching someone react to Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part one for the very first time and when Lucy Malfoy extended his forearm to some Voldemort at Mark Manor, one of the guys said hey is a touchscreen

And I wanna smack him and laugh really hard at that joke tbh

"is being with me so bad?"

KILL YOURSELF LITERALLY EXPLODE EVERYWHERE HOLY FUCK!!!! FREE HER!!!! GOD!!!

Was thinking about how fitting it is that Bear wants to be a food critic while Nikki wants to be a writer.

He wants to complain about the creations of someone else, adding nothing but despair to their lives, refusing to contribute anything helpful or new.

She wants to create something original but is stuck in an imitation of herself, forced to reenact a plot she hates.

‘Obsession’ was amazing and Inde Navarrette’s was such a revelation! 😭💖 One of my favorite horror movies of recent years hands down!!

it is terrifying that bear only sought to "alter" his wish rather than cancelling it but what is even more terrifying is that he wouldn't even have called the number had nikki not inconvenienced him. if she did not act in such extreme ways bear wouldn't even have a problem. which is sooooo sooooo terrifying because he was completely fine living and being "loved" by nikki who he knew wasn't the real her. he claimed to love her, but even when she started acting like a totally different person it was water off a duck's back for him. he DIDN'T CARE whether it was the real nikki or an entirely different person.

even when she begs him to kill her, he does not feel even a shred of pity for her; he only worries "is being with me that bad".

the only reason he tries to change anything is because her behavior started to scare him FREAK him out. had she acted in a meeker way, bear would've lived with her HIS WHOLE LIFE knowing she ISN'T the real nikki NOT GIVING A FUCK about what she would've wanted. PERIOD.

the more i sit with it the more i realise that the title of the movie did not refer to nikki's obsession with bear but rather his obsession with her. because i know fs that what he felt for her definitely wasn't love.

on my second viewing of obsession, i had the realization that nikki’s story at the party wasn’t the movie using incest as an easy shorthand for making the audience uncomfortable or creating a general “things are off” vibe but was another way the real nikki was crying out—a metaphor for the fact that nikki, like gretel, is being made to fuck her “little brother” (bear) under duress, at the behest of an external magic (the witch’s spell in her story; obviously, bear’s wish)

[acefuruya]

I genuinely appreciate how obsession doesn't try to frame bear as morally grey but just fully leans into how deplorable he is. a lesser movie would have tried to give him redeeming moments along the way but no, at every single crossroads bear makes the wrong choice. when the customer service rep asks him if he wants to cancel his wish, he says no, and asks to alter it. when nikki, the real one, begs him to kill her, he asks her "if it would be so bad to love him", and right at the end, backs out of killing himself and tries to throw the pills up. he is the villain, not another victim, not a confused, cowardly boy, the villain.

[starvariety]

if i think too hard about nikki’s experience in Obsession i feel physically ill. imagine one second you’re just walking up to your house after a night out, and then the next, you’re looking out of your own body, but you’re not longer in control. you’re a prisoner to a terrible, unnatural version of yourself that only exists because of a choice someone else made. when you scream, nobody listens. when you claw your way out for long enough to explain that this isn’t you, nobody listens. when you beg the man who trapped you in this situation to put and end to it, to set your free, he just. doesn’t. listen. and then when you do finally regain control, all your friends are dead, and you are covered in their blood. because of a choice someone else made
