Obsession

About This Movie

So, we have 'Obsession,' a curious blend of comedy and horror that tackles the strange infatuation some folks have with true crime. This one’s got a tone that walks the tightrope between darkly humorous and genuinely unsettling. The pacing feels a bit erratic, which fits well with its offbeat premise—the fangirl’s descent into madness is almost hypnotic. It's not overly polished; instead, it embraces a rawness that makes the characters feel disturbingly real. The practical effects are decent for its time, adding a layer of grit. Performances lean into the absurdity, leaving you both chuckling and cringing. It's definitely one that stands out for its unique take on obsession and fandom.

Obsession has a bit of a cult following among collectors, often hard to find in original format due to its limited release. The film's eccentric blend of genres keeps it intriguing, alongside its campy practical effects. Given the rising interest in horror comedies, it's one that avid collectors keep an eye on, especially if they appreciate the more unusual narratives in the genre.
