انا شوفت اكتر فيلم رعبني في حياتي كلها...

Cinema Crowds and a Solo Screening

The reviewer opens with a rant about crowded cinemas: people cracking jokes, children wandering around during horror films, phones blazing, and couples chatting. So when he goes to see Obsession and finds himself completely alone in the theater, he’s delighted—until the film scares him so badly that he considers putting on Quran recitations or escaping to TikTok.

A YouTuber-Made Horror Hit

The reviewer frames Obsession as part of a new wave of horror films made by YouTube creators. Made on a tiny budget by YouTuber Curry Barker, the film became a huge hit with little traditional advertising. The reviewer compares its success with that of big-budget Star Wars and mentions another YouTuber-made horror film, Backrooms, which he admits he didn’t enjoy.

Spoilers: Plot and Review

Obsession follows Bear, a shy young man who loves Nikki but can’t bring himself to confess. He finds a magical object that grants one wish and wishes for Nikki to love him more than anyone else. His wish comes true, but Nikki’s love becomes frightening and possessive. She watches him sleep, lies to keep his sympathy, and tries to stop him from leaving. Bear recognizes the danger but keeps going because he wants to be loved.

The reviewer praises the film’s unnerving performances, lighting, sound design, and editing—especially the scenes in which Nikki seems to fight against another presence controlling her. He likes that the horror is both gruesome and darkly funny, and that the small cast and limited locations never make the film feel cheap.

For the reviewer, the most unsettling part is the psychological idea beneath the supernatural plot: obsession isn’t love, and Bear’s own fixation is part of the horror.

The ending turns the wish against Bear. Nikki’s possessing spirit makes a wish of its own, causing Bear to love her just as obsessively. He dies, the curse on Nikki is broken, and she wakes to the aftermath. The reviewer calls the conclusion clever, though he admits he predicted much of the plot.

His final takeaway is blunt: if someone is obsessed with you, get away. Real love and obsession are not the same thing.
