Last comment on this film: Comparing Obsession to films like Get Out or Sinners misses the point a bit (though I love them too). Get Out and Sinners had massive studio budgets, major production companies, and star-studded cast lists backing them from day one. In contrast, Obsession was a true independent film made on one of the smallest budgets in movie history. Despite having a fraction of those resources, it went on to break box office records and gross more money than anyone ever expected. It shouldn't be judged against movies that had EVERY industry advantage—what Obsession achieved on a shoestring budget is a rare, historic filmmaking feat that stands on its own. Obsession was an independent film made on a production budget of just $750,000. Because it was such a micro-budget indie, the cast and crew were working under typical low-budget rates rather than multi-million dollar Hollywood contracts—with crew members working for standard daily rates like $300, and actors making just a few thousand dollars for their weeks of work before the film blew up. Despite having a fraction of the resources of a studio film, Obsession went on to become a global cultural phenomenon, grossing a staggering $523 million worldwide and becoming the first original English-language film of the 2020s to cross the half-billion-dollar mark. Along the way, it completely shattered a 53-year-old cinema record by passing Enter the Dragon ($400 million) to become the highest-grossing film in history with a budget under $1 million. It even outperformed historic horror royalty like The Exorcist ($430.8 million lifetime gross), outearned The Blair Witch Project, and beat major contemporary summer releases like Elemental, Hoppers, and Scream 7 while dominating the box office. It shouldn't be judged against movies that had every industry advantage—what Obsession achieved is a rare, historic filmmaking feat that stands entirely on its own. I say all of this because we should appreciate smaller artists who are putting their art out there and seeing the public respond so positively, it’s absolute cinema. I’m in awe of what Obsession has done and I want to see more creative ideas like this from upcoming NEW artists/creators with fresh ideas and less of the same stale old Hollywood sh*t (like having the 50th Conjuring or another SAW film—no tea no shade, those are just the first 2 franchises that came to mind that have all been redone so many times over, it’s predictable). Anyways, love you both sosososososososo much, thanks for reacting👏🏻🖤😜
Ash, the director Curry Barker has said in interviews he has plans to make this an Anthropology TV series with different directors to put their own spin on the premise.
W Ash had the spidey senses about Bear
I joined the patreon for this specific reaction, I can't believe you both fumbled the ending lol, still love you guys 👍
I love how y'all clocked Bear and discussed him being the true obsessed one, and that the core of all the problems is his feeling of entitlement towards her instead of being concerned about her agency. While at the same time Ash is over here like "Okay but hear me out..." 😂
Here for the rewatch. Love how Ash clocked bear so quickly !!
I hope you two watch and react to Talk to Me, also another great movie
Will you be unblocking it soon? I really hate watching stuff on my phone.
Have you tried screen mirroring or air casting it to your tv?
In retrospect every time bear and Nicki were intimate it was sa, she didn’t consent to any of the things he did to her and would’ve continued to do to her so no wonder she asked him to kill her
i loveeee that hannah noticed the clock change - i did so too in the theatre and was really confused 🫣🤪🤷♀️ it turned out just to be a mistake while filming 🙃
Brother when she was reversing and saying “I’d never hurt you” but she was trying to stab bear, it was Nikki fighting what had her possessed she knows the only way to be free is by killing Bear
Thank you guyssss
I think every time Nikki saw her own reflection in something, the real Niki would come out. It would make sense to why she refuses to go into the restroom, hiding in the corner of the room, walking out of the room backwards. She is trying to avoid seeing her own reflection. The first time the real Niki broke through in the wish, she saw her own reflection in the side mirror of the car.
Great reaction. Also ash I sent you a DM can you check?
You guys have to watch the smile series after this because once you see it you’ll realize the actress who plays Nikki would be perfect for the Third film
Unlocked patreon just for this reaction! Great reaction as always :)
I think the director said he wants it to become a series where different directors create each episode with different wishes!
so sad yt blocked it but i HAD to watch this reaction
ash just cheering while hannah gags and has a terrible time lmao😭😭
i hate when people say nikki liked bear before the wish. she clearlyyyyy didnt. she literally said ew to him 5 times in the first 10 minutes and when she asked him if he had feelings for her you can tell by her tone that she was annoyed. i hate that any kindness from a woman can be interpreted as flirting. its so fucking stupid.
The director intentionally left clues for both sides to be debated. It’s not a definite answer. And it’s evident before and after the wish. It’s like in American Psycho and the detective questioning Patrick Bateman. It’s left for interpretation whether or not the Detective actually knew he was a killer. At times it did, at times it didn’t. Never really confirmed or denied. I too got the feeling she did have something for Bear, but I also questioned it as well. When you play in all the factors, from my take I believe she did have some underlying feelings but because Bear was too much of a wimp to take control, she couldn’t fully let herself like him like that.
Ash is a G for picking up on Bear literally 5 minutes into the movie lol
Its up on youtube
How about now? It's not on there for me
bear was unBEARable
I can’t forgive bear for two things 1. Asking to alter the wish initially instead of cancelling it knowing that Nikki was under a spell 2. He finally gets the chance to talk to the real Nikki and all he can say is “What’s so bad about being with me?”
What breaks my heart is Nikki trying with everything she had to tell Bear it wasn’t her. She left breadcrumbs (no pun intended bc of the Hansel and Gretel thing) to try and tell him like with the picture and writing “not me” thinking that the guy who she loved and trusted like a brother would hear her and help her. Instead he just kept using her. She trusted him and he only cared about himself.
This is the best reaction of internet hahahahaha from Rio de Janeiro 😎🇧🇷
weird I can still watch it fine on yt?
Same, in Australia. So might be region locked
Ash clocking Bear as a weirdo in the first 10 minutes is fantastic
34:54 is she turning into a cat?
Sorry for the L g, but appreciate the upload for patreon!!
Sorry famm
