‘Obsession’ is an Iconic Gen Z Horror Movie
<p>Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Curry Barker’s <em>Obsession</em>, one of the most exciting original horror films we’ve seen in years. We break down why the movie feels like evil <em>500 Days of Summer</em> meets <em>Hereditary</em>, how it turns modern dating anxieties, male entitlement, and the fantasy of “the one” into a supernatural nightmare, and why Inde Navarrette’s performance is the emotional and horrifying center of the film. We also discuss the movie as a Gen Z relationship horror classic, a darkly funny cautionary tale, and ultimately a tragedy about agency and possession.
