Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: To me it's more like Barbarian and Get Out, than Longlegs or Backrooms

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]...which is not a coincidence because all three of those directors (Jordan Peele, Zach Cregger, Curry Barker) are sketch comedians-turned-horror directors. The things that set <i>Obsession</i> maybe above a lot of similar movies is that A: it's unusually well-made, especially for a tiny indie movie that was made for less than a million bucks, B: it's a little stickier than average, kind of like <i>Weapons</i>, because of the subject matter and the sort of, I dunno, allegorical payload(?) and C: Inde Navarrette's incredible performance. (I also think Michael Johnston did a good job of portraying a protagonist who is a sad sack loser that SPOILER BELOW: ----------------- ...turns out, when given the chance, to be a completely despicable piece of shit)[/quote]
