Obsession

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.

I didn't get the end, it sound like a premature end!! Film begins like just another romance and there is no hope to be more than that, her husband takes second plan all movie along and he acts like a fool. Near to the end , table turns and it gets more interesting, but it's too late!The trap made by father and son has no sense to me, and the storyline lacks more explanation about that! Beside that, Loes Haverkort has a average perfomance but enough to make you keep watching until the end! To be watched late night on a boring sunday!

Utterly pedestrian and underwhelming. Completely by-the-numbers in all respects. Not entertaining at all. Nice to look at, with a pretty location, but that's pretty much all it has going for it.

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