THE MOVIE OBSESSION IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!!

Ajouté : 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Obsession is one of the most petrifying films of all time. That is there will have you contemplating your entire life thinking, can I even sleep in the dark tonight? I might be sleeping with some music on. I might have a little lampshade on. I might be calling someone. Can you come over? I can't be alone tonight. That's the type of horror film obsession is.

[00:00:24]Early in the morning.

[00:00:28]>> What's good other people? It's your boy Cam Topical Juice and we are talking about the film Obsession today. I don't always talk about films. Usually when I talk about films, I'm dissecting them, analyzing them, looking at the imagery, the symbolism, and tying them into real life things, right? But in this video, I just want to talk about Obsession because it's a film that's gone viral.

[00:00:49]It's a film that has got people talking for for the first time in a long time.

[00:00:54]It's actually a good horror film. Most modern horror films are rubbish, but Obsession changes that. Obsession is actually a good film. Now, obviously, all jokes aside, of course, I wasn't actually scared. I'm a big man. No film can actually scare me. We know it's not real. Whatever. Whatever. But in terms of the suspense, wow, the suspense. also in terms of the characters and how real those characters are and what those characters can do given the circumstances, given the context. That is where the the horror comes in. That's where the scariness comes in. Now, this video is not going to be too too long and it's going to be full of spoilers.

[00:01:33]If you haven't seen it by now, then that's a you problem. Feel free to click off the video or mute it. In fact, don't click off. Mute it and let the video play. Put it on two times speed. Let the video play for my watch time. All that goodness. I appreciate you. If you don't care about the story, just watch the video anyway. I appreciate you. But yeah, this video is going to have spoilers. So before we actually kind of talk about it, um I'd really appreciate if you watch the video through to the end. Like the video, subscribe. I'm trying to hit 100,000 by the end of the year. Your subscription, your support means the world to me. I'd really appreciate it. And if you want to support me further, head over to my Patreon. My video that I'm going to film and edit and upload today will be around all the scientists that have gone missing um or dead in America. Now, I haven't really written any notes, so I'm kind of I'm kind of I'm going to be spitballing a bit here, but I need to give you a synopsis of the film, right?

[00:02:20]So, the film is basically about a guy called Bear. Bear is a lonely and insecure man, you feel me? Young man, I don't know how old he is, maybe early 20s. He works in a music shop basically with a couple of friends. And I put friends in, you know, inverted commas because they're not really friends. He's got this friend called Ian who he leans on for support. But Ian is clearly selfish, self-centered, um, emotionally kind of unavailable, not very supportive. That's the type of friend Ian is, and that further isolates Bear. Now, we'll get into that in that that dynamic in a minute, but he also works with a lady called Sarah, I believe her name was.

[00:03:07]And Sarah is the only genuine character in the film. She's the only one who really empathizes with Bear and cares for him. But he isn't looking at Sarah because he's focused on Nikki. And Nikki is the girl he is obsessed about. He's the one that she's the she's the person that he has loved for a long time and she's friendly to him and she is kind to him, but she doesn't find him attractive like that. I don't think she's really into him. You feel me? So, there's four of them in this music store or whatever the hell store they work at. And Bear basically comes across this magic stick thing. And when you break it and make a wish, that wish comes true. Now, the film isn't focused on the how. The film doesn't really want you to focus on uh whether that's realistic or not. It's it's a supernatural horror film. Of course, it's not realistic. You can't just break a stick and make a wish. So, it it doesn't really go into a backstory of how where the stick came from and what the where the power draws from or what it all means. That's not what the film's about. The film is about given the opportunity to have these to to make these wishes, what would you do? What would you wish for? And how far would you go to make like your dream come true even at the expense of other people? Most people wish for millions of pounds or to be an athlete or whatever whatever whatever.

[00:04:33]But then there's some people who wish for love and that's what happens to bear. So there's a bit of context around Bear. There's not too much context, but the film starts by making you really really empathize with Bear. It makes you sympathize with him. His his nan has passed away and that's why he's living in this apartment. his his nan gave him an apartment, right? But not only that, his cat also passed away at the start of the film because the cat got into the medicine drawer and overdosed, right?

[00:05:04]So, we feel sorry for Bear. He's he's been he's grieving. He's he's at this he's at this dead end job with minimal ambition. He's lonely. You can you you feel sorry for Bear. You feel like he's someone that you want to root for. You know, he's a he's like quite a good-looking guy, but you can tell he's he he lacks a lot of confidence. He's he's deeply insecure and he leans on this Ian boy for like comfort, right?

[00:05:28]And he talks to Ian and said, "Yo, I really like, you know, Nikki. I'm I want to ask her out this and that." And throughout the dynamic, Ian's kind of trying to put him off asking her out and interrupting the conversations and you could just tell Ian's not a good friend.

[00:05:41]And it turns out, spoiler, Ian has been sleeping with Nikki and hasn't been telling him, right? So that's why he we find that out later in the film and it it's a bit of a kind of twist or whatever, but he's been sleeping with Nikki and he's he hasn't told him it's a he's a bad friend, right? But anyway, he wants to ask Nikki out. He's too insecure to do it. He's too scared to do it. And he buys Nikki this stick and he fails to give her the stick for whatever reason. He just doesn't give her a present. And in the car, he says, "I wish Nikki would love me more than anybody in the world." And breaks the stick. And instantly we see that Nikki's demeanor changes because before that when he dropped Nikki home, you can tell that she weren't really, yeah, they're cool. They're cool. The dynamic is cool, but she weren't really looking at him like that. And then as soon as he breaks the stick, she comes back out to the car and you can tell something's changed.

[00:06:34]Something's something has has changed instantly. Now, it's not that she's been possessed by some sort of demonic entity. It's almost like the wish stick thing has created a new version of Nikki, one that loves Bear. And the real Nikki is almost trapped in her own body. Like get out. I really liken it to Get Out, the sunken place. It's like Nikki is now a passenger in her own body while whatever the wish has conjured up, has created is now in the driving seat. Now, what the film does so amazingly well, my peoples, is it's the character development. As I said, you you're rooting for Bear at the start. You feel sorry for Bear at the start, but as the story goes on, you realize that Bear is actually the villain. Not because he's nasty or cruel, but because in his obsession, in his insecurity, he is capable of doing heinous acts. And what I mean by that is he is well aware of what he's done. Now, he didn't know it was an accident at the start. He didn't know breaking the stick was actually going to work. You feel me?

[00:07:58]It It was just a It was It was an accident. He accidentally got himself in this situation. But once he realized that the wish did come true, once he realized that the wish is real, rather than finding a way to break the spell, or rather than trying to give Nikki her autonomy back, he doubles down, he triples down, and he quadruples down, and he continues to live this life. And people are looking at him like, "Yo, you and Nikki weren't really like close like that and now you're dating and now she's obsessed with you and now she's all over you." Like, what? Where's that coming from? Like, maybe she's going through some things and you're taking advantage.

[00:08:39]Whatever. Whatever. So, that's where he becomes the enemy because he realizes what he's done. He realizes that Nikki is no longer in control of her own body and this relationship they're in is is a facade. But due to his obsession with Nikki, his love for Nikki, and his need to be adored or wanted or loved or whatever, his deep insecurities, he puts his own selfish desires above her own.

[00:09:07]Now, there's one scene here before we even talk about the scary bits and how mad this Nikki girl becomes. here.

[00:09:13]There's one scene where Nikki's in bed with him and the entity, whatever you want to call it, is asleep and the real Nikki is talking through her body. And she says, "Kill me. Kill me now." Like, just please kill me. I I can't I don't want to be alive no more. Kill me. And rather than him empathizing and realizing the severity of the situation he's found himself in, he turns around and says, "What's so bad about being with me? What's so bad about loving me?"

[00:09:50]When he said that pathetic line there, that was the moment you don't feel sorry for him no more. you you realize he is the enemy or not enemy, he's the villain of the story because the real life Nikki is not in control and you can argue that he's basically graing her. That's actually what it is. And when I first heard that I thought that's a bit that's a bit far like it's a film, it's not really adapting. But when you look at the the the the lock but when you actually look at the loss of autonomy, the loss of decision-m, the loss of control that Nikki has in this film, you realize it is it is a version of Grape.

[00:10:29]And when he's having uh relations with her, when he's being intimate with her, you can tell while she's making the noises and moaning, she's not actually present. She's kind of just in her own world like, and it's quite it's it's an uncomfortable watch. It is. It's it's an uncomfortable watch. You're you're you it's like you're looking at an S8 and basically mad things start to happen after she becomes obsessed. Now the film's called Obsessed because you think it's about her to him, but really it's actually him to her. And she she is a maniac, you lot. She is a psycho. It's not her fault. She's the victim in all of this. She's the victim, but she becomes super obsessed with Bear and to to the point that she like cooks the the the deceased cat and gives it to him for lunch and he finds out and he still doesn't do anything about it. He throws up in the bin and due to his need to be loved, like he he comes home to her and he just says, you know, you can't do that. he can't cook the cat. And it's like whoa.

[00:11:39]And like when he goes to work, she's standing there all smiling like the film Smile. And she's like smiling there. And then like she pisses herself standing there. And when he comes back from work, she's still standing there all covered in puke and poo and piss and all sorts of madness.

[00:11:57]And she only exists to worship and be and obsess over bear. And there's there's party scenes where she does weird psychotic uh things at a party and she reads some of her weird ancestral poem which I think is really the real life Nikki coming out talking about how she views him as a brother, but that's a whole another Yeah, that's a whole another part. But what the film does so well is it builds suspense. It's there's moments when they're in bed and he wakes up at 3:00 a.m. and she's not there and you hear a scream and she's in the corner of the room just watching him sleep in the darkness and it is petrifying. Genuinely, it's like you're looking at it like what is going on here? She is nuts. There's themes of incel when it comes to bear, but not the kind of incel that you're used to from the stories and real life crimes and of fat, ugly, depressed or they're not always fat to be fair, but like just ugly, depressed people who blame women for their lack of being able to get women and things like that, right? It's a different kind of incel. Like he's he has friends, right? But there superficial friendship. this friend called Ian, as I mentioned, he's Ian is selfish. Ian is self-centered. He's a backstabber. And he's constantly trying to manipulate Bear. So, it's not a real genuine friendship. He's got no He's got no outlet to really express himself.

[00:13:23]He's got no one to talk to about these thoughts and feelings. So, those negative emotions, that almost that shadow self manifests itself through obsession towards Nikki, you feel me? And Nikki unfortunately is the is the person who has to bear the brunt of um Bear's warped perception. And that's why it's a so cleverly written because it's not your traditional horror film. It's not your traditional character, but it's a character that we've all seen before. It's a character that you can empathize with. It's a character that you can potentially even relate to. I mean, me, I'm nothing like Bear. I've never been introverted.

[00:14:06]I've always been social or popular amongst friends or whatnot. Like I I can't I can't relate to B in the slightest, but there's many people who out there who can. And that's the bit that's scary is that given the opportunity to make a wish, how far would you go to appease your desires, your obsession?

[00:14:26]It's it's madness. And there's a scene where once he realizes that it's gone too far, he tries to reverse it, but he can't. So he goes to Ian and he goes to his friend and says, "You need to make a wish. You need to break this stick and and reverse the the the spell." But in Ian's selfishness, he doesn't believe him. He says, "Boom. I wish for a billion dollars." And a billion dollars starts raining in on him basically. And and and it's it's just like it it epitomizes their fake friendship. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it. I mean, I've kind of spo spoiled it for you now, but it's very very well written. And the maddest thing is it was written by a YouTuber. And it just goes to it just goes to show, yeah, Hollywood in general is trash. There's no originality. There's no creativity.

[00:15:10]We're relying on YouTubers and content creators to create the best art. It gets you thinking like you want to almost watch it again. And it's just there's a couple of jump scares, but jump scares are cheap horror. That's cheap horror.

[00:15:23]That's not real horror. That's cheap horror. It's the the fear, the scariness comes from the suspense building almost that you know what's going to happen in certain scenes. Not everything's like unpredictable. You're if you're if you're well if you're good at kind of understanding movies and plots like you you know what's going to happen in certain scenes, but it still doesn't take away from the impact when it does happen because the suspense was so suspenseful. And the end the end was justified. Since I've spoiled it anyway, I might as well tell you the end. He tries to commit suicide because the only way the spell can be broken is through his death. So he overdoses, right? Or he takes a whole bunch of pills. But just before he throws up the pills because he changed his mind, the obsessed Nikki breaks another stick. And you hear it go and as soon as it breaks, he stops and he opens the door and it's clear that she's said she's obviously made a wish saying, "I wish he loves me the same way I love him." So the obsessed Nikki has broken the stick and made him love her as much as she loves him. So they're both psychos now. But as soon as they're kind of kissing and they're all in love, he overdoses because he didn't have time to throw up. So he he had to die. He was the villain. He deserved death. But it's as much of a tragedy film as it is a horror film because once he dies and Nikki comes back to reality, she's still left with the reality of what she's done. While she wasn't in control, she is still left with the trauma of murdering her two friends, him dying, overdosing in front of us, and and what what can she do? She's going to go to jail. I mean, it ends there, so you don't know what happens, but she's now left with that trauma of being a murderer and now probably going to jail for life for killing these people. Like, it's it's it's a real tragic ending, but a fitting one for him because he he had to die. Now she's got her autonomy back and her control back. She's a murderer.

[00:17:20]So, it it's it's it's just madness. It's a it's a really it's not a perfect film, but it's really really good and well written. I'm excited to see what that director does in future with more horror films cuz I'm a real horror theme. I'm a horror film guy. I really enjoy them.

[00:17:37]So, yeah. Um I just wanted to do a video on it just cuz it was it's something to talk about. It's it's mad. It's madness.
