Todd Howard, Peter Molyneux, and David Cage walk into a bar. This joke is now a completely underwhelming interactive experience and I'm sorry if you expected something better.

@andrew12la For real. This is such a better exploration of themes than what most of the discourse is. He's a victim of his own cowardice, which ultimately leads him down a dark path.
English
yeah I think this is really important. bear's fatal flaw, the thing that causes every problem in the movie, is cowardice, and cowardice as a fatal flaw hits so much harder when he didn't actually have anything to be afraid of

Inde Navarrette Talking about the question “Does Nikki like bear before the wish?” In an Obsession Q&A with @MichaelJVO and Curry Barker | credit to TikTok!! I’m forgot the user!!
English
@FranklinH3000 I lived across the street from a local rental store. We rented from them nearly every weekend, movies AND games. It's a source of my love for horror films. This is like... a normal thing people experienced? You're the exception to the norm I think.

Now they're making up 1950s advertising-style fables about Blockbuster. Going to Blockbuster was not some communal ritual.
Paul Anleitner@PaulAnleitner
If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster. And we should. While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable: The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together. That experience was special.
English
@sawyeurism I mean, in a very convoluted way that the protagonist isn't considering, yes it's a selfish wish. Him not considering her wishes in his wish is the point of the story. I don't think it's "damn this guy is a villain", more so it is "damn this guy is naive and doesn't respect her."
English
Soooooo the wish didn't backfire. The wish itself was a cursed wish. That's the entire point of the movie. Bear was the villain from the beginning.

If Obsession gets a sequel with a different wish that backfires on the protagonist, what should it be?
English
@SherrardRory @rob_rubsam Complaining about the one film that has good lighting. Clown shoes moment.
English
On this subject: Obsession is a well-made, very small-scale horror movie with extremely apparent flaws, first and foremost a narrative glibness and emotional incuriosity you'd expect from an internet sketch comedy team
John Squires 🎃@FreddyInSpace
So many weird responses to a new crop of filmmakers making the leap from YouTube videos to directing features, as if it's somehow not completely natural that the future of Hollywood is getting their start making online content. Film school for a new generation. Get used to it.
English
@PattyNest @Jermaine_kiing He's a negligent cat owner for not being home? Cuz he got talked into going out instead of wallowing in despair? I mean, he's clearly distraught about it and trying to find a way to cope. I just think this is a weird path to go down when there's so many other red flag moments.
English
@Linktm @Jermaine_kiing It’s possible. It’s also possible that he was negligent:
Some things are likely to be up to interpretation. And the way I see it. He was being a negligent Kat owner focusing too much on his woo for me crush
English
Not only is he immediately the villian, but he barely tries to actually be a decent person cause he got exactly what he wanted. And once he fully grasps the wish, he goes all in and becomes an even more disgusting monster and just gets worse as the film goes on
The Moonlight Warrior 🌙@BlackMajikMan90
Bear is not immediately the villain of Obsession, as he simply couldn’t overcome his overwhelming insecurities for female affection. However, there is a certain point (or two) where it’s made abundantly clear to him that this isn’t a game and something is extremely wrong. Yet he does nothing about it and continues to believe that he can make this situation work. That’s when he officially becomes the villain because the situation completely spirals out of control.
English
@rh_Limejuice @ScarletWidow901 100% this. I hate the two extremes takes. I'm having a convo with someone about how he's a negligent cat owner (????) and so was a villain from the start.
English
@ScarletWidow901 I agree with everything you said however on the other end of the spectrum there are people claiming he is a pure evil character with no nuance which isn't true, he is more interesting as a villain because we see desperation and naivety turn into cruelty and selfishness gradually
English
I want to write something about this film cus I genuinely love the psychological aspects of it.
I am not shocked that people (men) support him. All they saw was a guy who wanted to be loved & used a magical stick. They say “he didn’t know it was gonna actually work” as a +
𝕶𝖆𝖙🕷️@fadetokat
Why are some of yall defending this bummy looking mf. He’s the true villain in all this
English
@PattyNest @Jermaine_kiing Sure. I just don't think it's something you can assign a moral attribute to (or the director intends for us to) though. That's a very specific set of circumstances that had to occur. Maybe the cabinet had just stopped holding close and opened while he was out.
English
@Linktm @Jermaine_kiing So it seems like an accident and his own negligence.
Sure sometimes things happen. But as a pen owner, you still need to make sure that they don’t accidentally get into things that could kill them.
English
@PattyNest @Jermaine_kiing Needless to say we duct taped the shit out of it after that. So, honestly, it seemed like a very believable freak accident. Which is why they kept showing him struggle to close the cabinet right after finding the cat.
English
@PattyNest @Jermaine_kiing His medicine cabinet didn't properly shut, cat got into the cabinet and played with the pill bottle eventually opening it somehow (loose lid?)
I had a kitten that somehow opened an old chute door above our bathroom toilet and tried to jump in. We rescued her just in time.
English
@lovesicknoon My coworker just told me about the Cavill/Gyllenhaal film. I was like "I've heard nothing."
English
algorithms are so funny. i just saw someone ask how Obsession is making more at the box office with very little advertising than “the new Henry Cavil movie.” no idea what you’re talking about. i can confidently say i’ve seen zero ads for a new Henry Cavil movie.
English
@PattyNest @Jermaine_kiing ...why are we bringing the cat into this????
English
@Jermaine_kiing Yes. Not in the same vein as later on, but he buys her a toy instead of an actual gift. Doesn’t even give it to her. Calls her nickname he knows she doesn’t like. And the whole thing with his cat bothers the hell out of me… He’s not a good guy at the start.

i do believe that nikki told sarah she sees bear as a brother but sarah also told bear that she’s good at hiding her feelings when she has a crush so my dark theory is that she’s previously saw bear as a brother but as they grew closer those

@derintheestalli No jumpscares but pure dread and images you can't erase from your mind.

@Eon1Eno All the discourse was "I'm gonna watch the unasked for sequel with the white woman that I assume is the same premise as this." :-/
English
I'm mad af that I missed this in cinema. And I feel this is the on going problem with the audience that want representation, but don't show up for it. When Hollywood actually delivers a female POC banger of a film, no one talks about it. #TheyWillKillYou
#JusticeForRogerFortson@AtlBlerd
Why did no one talk about this flick? Im 12 mins in and on the floor dying laughing! #TheyWillKillYou #BlackSiskelandEbert📽

@emopunkgrrrl I didn't even like Hereditary all that much when I saw it in theaters. Felt like I was missing something.
English
Hereditary came out 8 years ago. Theres been like 30 horror movies that have been the best “since Hereditary”.
Aaron@aaroncabrera_
I loved Weapons but Obsession seriously might be the best horror movie since Hereditary
English
@DandyMystified @PhxntomHaunt Antagonists can also be tragic tho. I feel like that's what is lost in the discourse. Baron IS a tragic figure, not because of any external force but because of his own ineptitudes and cowardice. I think you can feel bad about the path that led here without being a rape apologist
English
@PhxntomHaunt Bear is literally the main antagonist lmao, bros selfishness and cowardice ruined everything and destroyed Niki’s life
English
English
@CinemaPrincipia @codylarae_ @ZachTheRide3D A key point is the line in the drive home where Baron doesn't understand the difference between romance and love and conflates the two. It's your first clue that he's emotionally immature, but also isn't able to truly grasp the difference between "real Nikki" and "fake Nikki".
English
Way too much apologizing going on for the lead character in Obsession you guys need to learn how to watch genre man. These are morality plays! The movie isn’t grey area-ing his plight, he wishes the girl he has a crush on will love him because it’s abundantly clear he’s a coward
English
@ema_sasic I was busy reading about Mandela effect conspiracy (which made the next scene in the shop even funnier.)
English
Aside from Inde’s performance and the insanely creepy cinematography/lighting, one of my favorite moments in Obsession is when Bear is reading a Reddit thread about One Wish Willows and someone wrote “my mom has been ugly all her life and now she’s gorgeous!”
English
@alecrobbins @DeclouxJ I love shows that make tv slowly start dimming because it can't detect any color contrasts on the screen and thinks its idle.

a screenshot this poorly lit and graded being the official key still for a marquee show on the world’s biggest streamer is psychotic lol
