I wish this movie did something other than grate on my nerves.

Obsession really surprised me. Despite its simple premise, the lack of any real monsters, and a petite young woman as the horror factor, this movie is actually fairly uncomfortable and atmospheric. A large part of that is due to the absolutely incredible acting of Inde Navarrette, and I cannot praise it enough. Her ability to flip expressions at the drop of a hat is really impressive, and the way she twitched her eye throughout was very talented. It's actually really impressive considering her limited roles in the past. The other aspect of this movie operating at a high level is the technical production. The way shadows frame Nikki's face in multiple scenes adds to the creepiness, and the movie does a really good job of framing where her out of focus character in the background of various shots heightens the tension. I also think the sound design is really strong. In a movie theater, the various jump scares worked largely due to the punctuating and grating sounds. This movie seems fairly straightforward and predictable, but yet it fully engaged me throughout. I think that the themes in the movie are actually fairly clever, showcasing how despite Nikki tormenting Bear, she is also very much a victim. That nuance, built upon the friend dynamics and larger messaging behind the movie, helps make it feel more than just a simple wish gone bad trope. Couple that with the other elements I mentioned, and I think this movie is actually a pretty good horror movie. I can see it not being a very pleasant watch for some people, and I think the reviews overstate its humor. I think it falls more in the unsettling side of horror than the fun entertaining side. Regardless, it is worth a watch if only to watch Inde Navarrette put on a stellar acting showcase.

I don't think he suffered enough

No. No, no, no, no, no. If the ideas behind it might even be considered, this film is a pile of really, really, really very bad shit.
