THE OBSESSION

Yesterday night, I watchef movie " THE OBSESSION". I have been planning to watch it since two months. And finally yesterday was the day. I quiet enjoyed this movie. But i must say, the main lead female character was Fabolous. She nailed this character.

Lemme share my review about THE OBSESSION

At 10:00pm, I just opened my laptop, thinking I would watch ten minutes and then sleep. But Destiny had other plans....haahah even from from the first scene, the film pulled me in and did not let me go. It was not a loud, fast horror film. It was quiet, slow, and uncomfortable in a way that stayed in my mind long after the screen went dark. Starting few minutes, i felt the movie too slow but graually i was becoming more engaged in the story.

By the end, I was not just watching a story about two people. I was watching what happens when love turns into control, when desire turns into fear, and when a person refuses to let go. But still i have to stay
EVERYTHING IS FARE IN LOVE AND WAR ....
hahahah ...!

The Story

Bear , the main lead male character..has liked Nikki since childhood. He has been stuck in the friendzone for just as long. Because he is extremely introvert ,shy, awkward, and unable to tell her how he feels. Although he tried several time, in fact he rehearsed the purposal too, but failed everytime.

On a whim, he buys a “One Wish Willow” from a magic shop. The shopkeeper told him that many of the buyers claimed it is true. He bought it. At first he thought to give it to niki, but because of his introvertnesss, he couldn't. And at last he himself made a wish.He wishes Nikki would love him. And it works too well.

His exact words were:
I wish Nikki would love me more than anyone in the world

At first, it feels like a dream. Nikki, who was warm and smiling , suddenly wants to be with him all the time. She laughs at his jokes. She wants to stay close. Bear finally gets what he wanted for years.

Then the table turned .....!

Nikki does not just love him. She needs him. She watches him. She follows him. She became obsessed with him. As exactly he wished for, love more then anyone in the wolr.
She gets angry when he talks to anyone else. She gets violent when he tries to get space. The love becomes possession, or can say Obsession.

The film's big twist is that this is not really Nikki anymore. The obsessed version of Nikki is a demonic entity possessing her body to fulfill the terms of the wish, while the real Nikki is trapped somewhere else. Even in many scenes , the really tried to talk to bear. Bear realized it many time but ignored at first.

That is why the film feels so disturbing. Bear did not just get a girlfriend. He made a deal, and the price is Nikki herself. Also the plot follows many if of creepy scenes like the obsessed Nikki cooked bear's dead cat, performed ritual's at cat's death, selaed the door with tape so that bear couldn't not leave her for even a second, Nikki killed her befriend Sarah, and Ian friend too.

The story ended, when bear tried to end the wish. He came to know the only way to end or reverse the wish is His own Death. So he tried to kill himself. Before that, he bought another ONE WISH WILLOW and asked her friend IAN to make a wish to reverse everything back to normal. But he thought of it as a joke and made a wish for 1 million dollars....( I think this one was a fabulous wish ..hahahha).

Now he was only left with last ONE WISH WILLOW...whi h was caught by Nikki ( the obsessed). He was in the washroom trying to kill himself. As he consumed all the pills to kill himself. The next moment he about to spit all of it, at the same time , Nikki made a wish about Bear and he become also obsessed and forgot about the pills. Which caused his Death. After his death the really NIKKI becomes awake but at what cost? Three dead bodies in front of her ..and all of them were her friends.

The Performances

The beginning felt almost normal infact too slow. That is what made it so disturbing later.
The first picture I took was of her named NIKKI in the restaurant. She is smiling( but her smile was giving me goosebumps...like literally), wearing a soft off-shoulder sweater( which i definitely loved) and her long dark hair falling over her shoulders.

From this scene, anyone can get idea that i must a couple date because of course She looks like any girl you might see on a first date, laughing at something someone just said.That is how the film tricks you. It starts with charm. But then came the twist ... the mood changes.

In the second picture, the same girl is in a different place, a bar or a club with neon lights behind her. Now, She is angry, annoyed, maybe hurt. Her famous dialogue
No no no no no no no no nooooooo
Bear, i love you so so so so so so so sooo much.
Oh my goodness her face was really creepy but beautiful at the same time.

That was the moment I realized this film was not going to be a simple love story. Her expression said everything:

Then came the night drive. I remember holding my breath during that scene. The third picture I took is dark and messy. Sarah and Bear were talking in the car in the midnight, Nikki came there and crashed the car window and killed Sarah in just a blink of an eye. Was a damnnn scene. After killing Sara ,she simple came and hugged Bear like a innocent criminal. Hahaha

The next scene I captured is one I cannot forget. The two of them are lying together on a couch with blood all over them .What struck me was not just the blood. It was the way they were holding each other. It did not look like love. It looked like exhaustion. Here she killed IAN too. Now Sarah's dead body in the room, and IAN's dead body in front of them ..huhhhh

Now comes the part, when he finally decided to kill himself. First he tried to shoot himself with gun, but couldn't. Then he consumed pills ..

Now Bear is also dead, Niki came back... terrified, shocked ,covered in blood and surrounded by three dead bodies.

I remember thinking: This is what it looks like when a person has given up everything for someone else, and still it is not enough.

When the film ended, I sat in silence for a long time. My laptop screen went black, and my room felt too quiet. I did not feel entertained in the normal way. I felt shaken, thoughtful, a little sad.

Watching The Obsession movie was not a fun experience. But at the same time fun too ...i guess i am also talking creepy now ..bahaha
It was an intense, uncomfortable, human experience. It made me think about how thin the line is between caring and controlling, between wanting someone and owning someone.
