Spoiler Review: Obsession

from Eye of the Storm Movie Podcast · host Daniel Gawron

This week we review and discuss Obsession, a supernatural horror movie movie directed by Curry Barker and starring Michel Johnston, Inde Navarrette and Megan Lawless, about a man who who buys a supernatural toy that grants him his wish for his childhood friend Nikki to fall in love with him, resulting in horrifying consequences.We discuss the surprising box office success of this movie when similar movies are usually ignored by audiences, whether this might be the first true Gen Z horror movie, debate who the real villain in the story is and how this compares to our expectations going into the movie, whether the depiction of Nikki's possession makes sense or if too much of it is just there for shock value and how this impacted audience reactions when we saw the movie in theatres, how this movie compares to other stories about love potions and "monkey's paw" type wish fulfillment, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast0:00 Intro0:19 Movie Recommendations (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, From Season 4)06:26 Synopsis & Overall Impressions11:50 Spoiler Discussion53:27 Conclusion & Ratings
