Dark Obsession

I don't think many people are going to get past the main actress's terrible acting. The script is barebones and boring but no worse than a Marvel movie. The plot is predictable but the setting is secluded and spooky. Unfortunately nothing happens plot-wise for the first hour and without any interesting characters or intelligent dialogue a lot of people are going to end up turning it off before the finale. There are hints of schizophrenia and domestic violence brought in toward the end, I repeat, hints, they have no depth. Mena Suvari is apparently doing the voice over for the main character Anne's alter ego, which I see absolutely no point in. I would not recommend this film to anyone.

I consider this as one of those "clan projects", or so I call them. You can identify these projects when you look at the writers, directors and actors and find identical names within those roles. I firmly beleive that as these are close-knit projects, the full cast and producers just invade imdb once the movie is out, and rate them as high as they can and provide astonishingly good reviews. What really fascinates me that this movie is rated 7.2 as of April 2024 after 1,200 ratings, so they did a pretty good job at telling their friends to invade imdb as described above. With this way, even the casual movie watchers who have a very strict criteria of not watching any movies with a ratings below 7 could fall into the trap of watching this one. Anyways, don't get fooled: if you don't like the first 5 minutes, you can easily shut down this film as it doesn't get any better. It ridiculusly beleives it has invented the plot twists of the thriller genre and takes itself 100% seriously. What a joke.

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.

This is one of those new age physiological, mystery thriller films that will have you on the edge of your seat right to the ending. Dark Obsession is about a painter who struggles with inner demons after being forced into a life of solitude when her husband leaves suddenly. The plot starts of a little slow but done intentionally as it gradually picks up pace and theres plenty of unexpected plot twists and a good amount of dialogue that had me entertained. This turned out great and my favorite cast member is Mena Suvari who plays maya. I highly recommend this if your into thriller films. A surprisingly good ending also. Well worth a watch.

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!
