Obsession Movie Review

​I know I am late to the party, but Obsession has been an AMAZING movie. So many topics to discuss about with this movie. 

First off, the budget for the movie being $750,000 and receiving a gross of over $443 Million Dollars Worldwide. This gives the Paranormal Activity success vibes of their budget being $215,000 and receiving a gross of over $193.3 million and also turned it into to a dynasty of movies. With the production, few characters, and limited places that was filmed, this movie is incredible. 

Many questions I have though when watching this. First off, Bear’s wish is ABSOLUTELY INSANE! Not to fall in love, not to have prized possessions, not shoot like Steph Curry or throw a pass like Patrick Mahomes, but for one person who he works with to be OBSESSED with him. Granted, he thought nothing was going to come out of this situation, but the word “Obsessed” is nuts. And also… pretty selfish on his part to force a wish like that on someone else. 

Why didn’t Bear just run away? Bear also had MANY situations where he could have just gotten in the car and ran away, Nikki did not gain flying powers from this wish, just get in your car, find the cheapest and farthest flight, and get out of there! It is almost like that hypothetical scenario of a snail following your entire life and it can’t touch you. In the back of your head, you know they are trying to find you. 

Why did Ian make that as his one wish?Bear’s friend Ian had the chance to really save the day, and he didn’t. An when he made the decision for himself, he then made an additional bad decision. If my friend ran up and told me to do something like breaking a “One Wish Willow” and try to save them, I would follow what they said, even if I do not believe in it at all to happen. But I understand, a Billion dollars is sick. Maybe Ian should have stated the wish better and hope for money in his bank account, or an unlimited debit card, but I wouldn’t be too upset if money came pouring down on me at my house. After receiving all that money, I would text my friend asking if they were alright, then bring my duffle bags full of money to the bank and move some where else. But he didn’t, he ran away from the money and went straight to the house where all the problems were happening. Great friend to do that, but unfortunately, he didn’t get to spend a dime of that money. 

The last question, which will never be answered is what happens next with Nikki? Does she say she is possessed? You have so many terrible things that people saw, you can’t say you just didn’t do it… in that scenario, you are just out of luck. What she should do is try to take that Billion dollars and hide somewhere, maybe there will be a part 2, we shall see.
