    Better than I Expected

    This is the tale of a two troubled women, one addicted to love and one with darker troubles. As they start a stuttering friendship, dark secrets begin to emerge.

    Granted I went into watching this with very low expectations. That said, this movie was a pleasant surprise. The plotting was a thin, but not terrible. The acting was fine bordering on good from the two leads. Competent cinematography and directing.

    This movie is wiiiiiiild!!!!!!

    I recommend it because it pissed me off so much and I was yelling at my tv damn near the entire time, which in my mind, if a movie is making me feel any kind of emotion that intensely, then it's a good one. The story is pretty good. It has layers to it and the timing was on point. Also I really liked the ending. Definitely worth a watch.

    Obsession

    Now this is not the first movie and it won't be the last where Obsession gets the better of people. And while it does have some twists and turns that are, not unique, but still mesmerizing and tension filled, it is not really the best or prime example in that category. On the other hand it is also not the worst of movies I've seen on that topic.

    The acting is decent overall, decisions may feel wrong (they are), especially from our main character, but nothing that should make you too angry about the whole movie. Always considering the circumstances and the fact this is a movie and that it has to have some force and something that drives the whole thing forward. If thrillers are generally your thing, that will help with your viewing pleasure - if not you may not really be into this at all

    Decent

    This was not the film I expected but I liked it. It's low budget but done really well. The actors were decent and the story was different. My only complaint is that the pace is slow. Glad I watched it.

    Shelly is a new horror Icon

    A movie that plays like a genre mixing slasher meets thriller meets drama movie What works?
    • Great performances from our two main actresses Alexis Kendra makes what could have been an unlikable vapid character someone we care for . While Alig gives us a creepy and subdued performance but makes us feel sympathy for her character . Even small roles like the friend & the wife are great
    • The writing is top notch. Great character work. Alice isn't wholesomely altruistic. She is flawed , she does things for selfish reasons. We even understand her modern day first world problems . But it's a realistic character who we can relate and see things her way. I love the fact i didn't really know what Shelly's motives were and felt like she was genuinely unpredictable , does she what to hurt Alice? Really befriend her? Take advantage of her ?or something else? It's all revealed at the end , and has some great foreshadowing. Because we really don't know what Shelly wants out of all things, the story is an intriguing one .
    • Shocking with out being explicit . Some squirm worth moments
    • Great ending which gives you just enough answers, but leaves the door open
    what doesn't work so well..
    • Last act of the movie more or less turns into a turns into a standard horror movie
    • Young Shelly actor wasn't brilliant ( but still not a bad performance )
    • There are some 'movie conveniences' like Shelly driving away for no apparent reason to allow a plot point to happen
    • Shelly has super human strength in one scene for some reason.


    Flaws are relativity minor by comparison. A great horror movie , a great new horror character . Fab writing and acting
