This movie is great. I was having flashbacks from my crazy fucking ex from college.

I had a hard time with the first fifteen minutes but after that it went places. Awkward guy is awkward, likes the wrong girl, has douchebag friend, etc.

The actress playing Nikki fucking carries though.

Zach Cregger vibes. I'm trying to summarize what that is exactly tho...

A very sharp and well executed horror that doesn't take itself too seriously?

Extremely well executed with an amazing performance. Doesnt waste a second of screentime either, shit just keeps getting crazier every minute. Barker made the exact movie they wanted to make and you could feel the studio just let him run with it

They may not be known for bringing in billions but it's tough to go broke on the back of well executed, efficiently told horror stories. I was really fond of A24's Talk to Me a few years ago or even the first Megan. I'll take all the competent 90ish minute horror flicks the studios want to make.

You know what Obsession doesn't do? It doesn't have a scene where our main character searches up wishes on Not Google during the second act to spoon the audience a bunch of exposition to explain what they've already figured out. So many horror movies do that and it's lame every single fucking time. Even good ones will trash their own pacing to fuck around on the internet for a couple of minutes.

I saw another horror channel on YouTube recommend this. Based on his description of the film it sounds pretty solid. I will definitely check it out.

I'll tell the wife it's a romance and get her to watch it too!

I have tried this technique in the past with my wife, but it's normally no dice she just starts talking and asking me why are we watching this. I think the last time I tried to do this was John Carpenter's The Thing, and it was a horrible experience. I wish you the best of luck but I have found that it's just better to go into my office and watch it on my widescreen computer monitor by myself with some headphones.

I watched Wolf Man yesterday and I was thinking it might be up your alley cuz I know you like the werewolf movies. It started off pretty good but then it just went retarded. And if you read deeper into it, it really is some sjw horror movie bullshit. Could have been great, but I was just waiting for it to be done.

Yeah that's the one. It started off pretty good and it looks great, but then it feminizes the dad, and then suddenly I don't know where the mom is the protagonist and the strong independent female because she's got a job and a career, but she's unhappy because she knows the dads a better parent than her. There's just a lot of stupid sjw stuff going on beneath the whole deal and I tried to turn my brain off from it but it was very hard not to notice the entire time.

I mean the dad character I thought was pretty well done and it was sad that he becomes the wolfman, but the wife just kind of comes out of nowhere and I'm like what is this crap.

I think we're really kind of got lost was not doing more with the locals with him going back up to Oregon in the middle of nowhere. I thought maybe the dude they find in the deer blind was going to morph into an important character but nope. They had the bones to make a really good movie, because I did care about all of the characters except the wife.

Yeah I think it could have been good but like you said had some failings.
