Obsession

With a slow buildup and not so riveting plot, the storyline was predictable. However, there were some awesome performances from the actors which did make up for it. Being said that, the plot became interesting to the end, and the climax was all the more realistic.

...it would've become an instant hit. The acting is marvellous, the lead actress had a natural gift of acting just by using facial expressions, with a similar resemblance to Kristen Stewart. The movie is well paced, not giving many clues to the viewer about what will happen next. The plot twist is well introduced and is powerful enough to twist the whole story. Every actor plays their character in the best way possible. Absolutely loved this movie, the plot, the intensity of it and the atmosphere.

Predictable, sometimes boring, slow, and with an ending not realistic.

Nothing new here. I couldn't sleep and this was wrongfully in the horror category on Amazon movies. Also didn't realize it was in another language because it was called Obsession in English and I thought it might have been Naomi Watts from the cover but instead it was all European actors I've never seen before and they were all fine.

It was all just a bit meh, I guess? Even when they tried to spice it up a bit with sex scenes, they were only half-cooked. And no, I'm not saying they should have shown more skin, specifically, I'm saying they needed something a bit MORE to them. Like, maybe some more lingering and allusive shots OR something more overt and confronting. The scenes themselves weren't terrible, they just didn't really commit to anything with them. Then again, the movie is listed on Prime as "Horror" but there's maybe 5 to 10 minutes of almost-psychological-horror and that's it. I'd have LOVED for that to have been better fleshed out, too.

Like I said, it's neither very special nor overly terrible, but it COULD have been. It just needed a bit more work on the script. The actors were great, the setting was lovely, the sound design was awesome for the budget they probably had, the script just let everyone down. I'd like to see what a British studio would do with a remake of this tbh. Not an American studio, they'd probably crank up the bombast and over-stylise the sex scene. IF they even left the sex scene in, that is, we know how Americans love to censor sex and increase the violence. This, though, this just needs a bit more meat on the bones of the script. Give the sex a bit more weight, and actually push through on the psychological horror aspect barely hinted at here.
