    When I saw the trailer for Obsession before Hokum (which is a great movie btw), I honestly thought it looked kind of generic. I’m surprised to see so much praise for it. I guess I will have to check it out.

      I saw it with my wife. Neither of us are big horror fans but we both agreed the movie is well done. The movie isn’t flashy, but it has solid writing and good performances.

      Personally I thought Obsession was just as generic as any of the other 10 horror movies that come out every year. I saw it because of the hype, and I still don’t understand the hype. The only explanation that makes sense is they ran a successful social media campaign and everyone loves to jump on the hype train.

      I wonder if they made the trailer so bland to not spoil anything, which is ok for me.

      Usually for horror movies I just watch a few seconds of the trailer to get the vibe of the movie
