Unfortunately, I really couldn’t see in Obsession what the rest of the world seems to have discovered. The film is beautifully shot and, especially in the second half, veers into incredibly effective horror—which is very impressive for a debut film with a budget that’s rather modest by Hollywood standards.

Nevertheless, I was really put off by how similar the premise is to Get Out. Both films ultimately take the concept in different directions, and—especially when it comes to symbolism—they pursue…

To be honest, Backrooms is probably one of the hardest cinematic experiences I’ve ever had to categorize, and it’s really difficult for me to talk about it without spoilers. Still, I’m going to give it a try here, since I definitely need to see this film at least one more time in the theater, and then I might be able to delve deeper into the points I’d like to elaborate on in a future review.

What quickly becomes its downfall, however, is how predictable it ultimately turns out to be; everything builds up to a turning point that you can foresee from the very first second, which is then, unfortunately, not developed creatively any further and drags on for the last 80 minutes without any surprises,…

I can actually hardly put into words what I just witnessed on the big screen, but I think we could pretty much leave it at that—it’s a prime example of action cinema.

The Furious is choreographed in a similarly dance-like and unrealistic way as the John Wick movies, but it’s so much more raw; the camera work is more dynamic, and every punch, kick, and headbutt is palpable rather than drowned out by the din. Nevertheless, the characters can take…
