Dark Obsession

From the very beginning, this movie had me captivated and on the edge of my seat. It's a truly thought-provoking film that, at times, left me pleasantly perplexed, eagerly anticipating what would unfold next. The performances were impeccable, effectively creating a raw and gritty atmosphere. I remained in a state of suspense and found myself deeply engrossed in the characters throughout the entire film. I tend to lose interest quickly in many movies, but this one held my attention firmly. Each person involved in this project should feel immensely proud of their contributions. The diverse cast enhances the overall brilliance of the film. It has undoubtedly secured a spot among my all-time favorite movies.

Almost gave up early on as this is a slow burn and Blaine Morris's Anne is hard to warm to. Her sympathetic victim acting needs some real hard work, especially evidenced in her scene opposite Danielle Harris where it is annoyingly apparent who is the queen and who is the wannabe. Glad I kept watching as the plot gets juicy despite some cliche dialogue.

Overall this is well worth a watch. Kept me on the edge of my seat with decent tension and a great ending. Would have rated higher with a stronger lead. Will be interesting to see what George Henry Horton puts out next.

Standout performances from newcomers Leonard Amoia (Henry) who hit a perfect balance of is he or isn't he creepy and Lucy Werner (Maggie) in her darker scenes. Mina Suvari, as expected, stellar.

Exceptional performances and exceptionally gripping writing - what a group of gifted filmmakers! Every aspect of the plot falls into place seamlessly, and every piece of the puzzle is meticulously crafted, avoiding any semblance of predictability. I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend this movie. It represents the culmination of all the care, patience, and meticulous attention to detail poured into its creation. The climax at the end of the film brings everything full circle, leaving you with a profound sense of satisfaction. Occasionally I'll watch a movie and add it to my- one to watch again another time. This is one of those films!
