There is an easy way to settle this little debate. Five years from now, will people remember OBSESSION as a 2025 or 2026 movie?

@sbskelpie Matt publicly hates on so many modern movies. Don’t shit where you eat Matt!!

@MovieDweller Lmao trying so hard to convince yourself that a critically acclaimed film that made 2000x its budget is bad 😂
English
You can tell so many of these new young filmmakers haven’t seen anything good. All their influences come post canon collapse. Did YouTube guy know he was swiping a de Palma title? Doubt it. Did he watch the fury for inspiration? LOL He’s thinking MIDsommar is peak.

@KaneHypeGuy @BlackMajikMan90 I heard this exact number from an insider. Insane!

@BlackMajikMan90 I believe it, but do you have a source?

Backrooms is now looking at a $45 Million Opening Weekend at the domestic box office.
Horror simply can’t be stopped right now.

@BrettRedacted The true projection (studios always undershoot to allow for over performance) is allegedly 45…… insane

@horrorerik @BrowseHorror They kept saying “we didn’t use CGI!!” But they used SFX and almost certainly a little cgi. Which is fine!! We don’t need to lie
English
@BrowseHorror So they DID make her look older or at least uncanny
English
this is why it’s so important to take a shot at casting new actors. some of them could play the role better than an A-lister could. I’m glad we’re doing this again

@TomAandTom1 There’s a movie in theaters currently that breaks entirely new ground in this subgenre, so…
English
I’m tired of possession films
Most are repeating beats from ‘The Exorcist’ but we’ve seen those before
But they skip the investment in character and authenticity that made the beats land
English
@biandreadytofly But the director comes from comedy are there are undoubtedly bits of comedy. Agree that calling it a dark comedy lessens the seriousness though
English
If hate to be a movie director in 2026 because you can put an obvious sexual assault scene in your film and some fool will still dare to call it a dark comedy because two scenes made them laugh
Duhlorean@Duhlorean98
Look, there’s no shame in admitting that Obsession is a dark-comedy. There’s also no shame in admitting that it’s a horror movie. Stop boxing movies into one specific thing. A film can be both horror and a dark-comedy.

@21stcenghoul Source? I’m 90% sure it has slight augmentation, which is fine!!
English
Like wdym there’s no cgi this is her real face wdym
Film Crave@_filmcrave
Still recovering from that scene.
English
@gpdejesuss It’s definitely slightly augmented, but that’s okay and doesn’t take away from her performance!!
English
there had to have been some cgi or something here bc good god
Film Crave@_filmcrave
Still recovering from that scene.

@fender_belly Not how it works. Those films require big actors for audiences to show up. Can’t hire big actors with a budget of 1m.
English
Cool now let’s do this for legal thrillers and character dramas made for adults.

@Tom_LSOO These films couldn’t be more different?? What variety do you want
English
Great to see new filmmakers getting their big break but kinda wish there was more variety in genre here

Horror movies directed by YouTubers.
English
I do think Hereditary kinda ruined horror movies possibly forever and is also one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made
English
@rob_rubsam The good news is that’s irrelevant because the movie is already critically acclaimed and is doing crazy box office biz
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
Went to film school at a top tier school. Most faculty were not experts. YouTube filmmakers are the future. You’re out of touch, bro.
Charles Bramesco@intothecrevasse
Well, no, because in film school you are taught things by experts in their field
