the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.

obsession (2026) is packed with upsetting details but i think there is one that can be interpreted in a number of ways. when bear opens his lunchbox and sees the polaroids, one with “you” caption, another one with “not me” caption. when it is true that it is real nikki’s way of trying to communicate i genuinely think that it is because she is worried about bear as a friend, perhaps because she thinks he might not have realized yet (even though he knew from the beginning), she tries to warn him that nikki he sleeps next to is not his nikki. it is not necessarily a cry for help but trying to save her best friend. the same friend who betrayed her from the very beginning.

I saw Obsession on Friday and it has completely captured my mind for about 2 days. personally, I love lower-budget horror films with a cast of unknowns. it allows me to fall into the story without thinking of the actors as just the actors. one of my favorite things, though, was the practical effects. I am not a fan of excessive CGI, and this movie truly hit the mark for me. it showed that practical effects are still absolutely terrifying, and are often much scarier than CGI.

despite one actress in particular being newer to the industry, Inde Navarette gave a performance worthy of an award. she gave the real Nikki so much depth, intelligence, and personality in the mere 10-15 minutes we had to get to know her that I felt so much empathy for her character by the end. she played both characters, because to me they were completely different people, seamlessly.

as for the plot itself, it held my attention the entire time and it was riveting. to me, it truly showed its meaning loud and clear without directly saying it. there has been a lot of debate online about who the 'real' villain is, I think that's how it shows that the story was told effectively. Bear is not meant to be comically evil. to me, he came across as a seemingly normal guy that nearly every girl has met.

the writing so effectively showed the culture around sexual assault that most people didn't understand it, because misogyny and sexism is so deeply ingrained in our day-to-day lives. Bear was a villain so well-written that many people refuse to view him as one because they see parts of themselves in him.

all in all, if you're looking for a movie with amazing unknown actors, a deep and beautifully written plot, and an allegory that will stick with you for days, then Obsession is for you.

*Minor Spoilers for Obsession 2026*

So I did go see Obsession again last night and made sure to pay extra attention to Bear’s little opening monologue when he’s practicing his love confession to Nikki.

Bear doesn’t say a single thing about Nikki as a person in his speech. He doesn’t say that he loves her kindness and how she cares for others, he doesn’t talk about how he loves her creativity or care-free spirit, he doesn’t talk about what he likes about her.

He talks about nice things she’s done for him. He talks about what she means to him. He talks about her being there for him, and how he likes how she’s treated him.

And while I won’t pretend that those things aren’t important, they are the only things Bear mentions in his big vulnerable romantic speech.

Bear’s “confession” tells us literally nothing about Nikki other than that she’s been nice to Bear in the past.

But in a subtle way, his “love confession” tells us a LOT about Bear and his actual feelings for Nikki.

He likes that she’s been nice to him. That’s it.

He likes that she’s been nice to him, and whether it was an unconscious process or not, Bear has responded to Nikki’s being nice to him by becoming obsessed and infatuated with her.

To the point that, once he’s (albeit initially unwittingly) in a position of power over her, he completely disregards her personhood and begins to feel entitled to her and her body.

That’s another layer to Obsession that I find absolutely chilling. That so often just being nice or polite to someone won’t lead to them showing you that same kindness in return, but will instead lead them to feeling entitled to you.

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.

[vampireistic]

i absolutely love how nikki is nearly always bathed in shadow (whether it’s fully in the dark or with a single light behind her with her as the faceless darkness). she’s quite literally become a shadow of her former self. no autonomy, no personal thoughts or emotions, just a carved image of what bear desired.
