If you're a horror fan, then you know that it might be the most pozzed of all genres. Seemingly every other big new horror movie is a retarded allegory for sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. It's to the point where any horror movie getting any buzz whatsoever is almost certainly woke as shit.
Obsession is the current big deal in horror, so of course it's very overtly about male entitlement, misogyny, etc. Because we can't have horror that is character and plot driven with maybe a little sprinkling of social commentary on top. Nah, it's all gotta be subtle as a trainwreck.
Anyways, good horror suggestions:
- The Empty Man
- The Void
- Terrified
- When Evil Lurks
- Bone Tomahawk
Recently watched those and enjoyed them. The Dark Valley is that rare German film that's well-shot, excellently staged and occupies a slot in the very small sub-genre of western-horror-thriller.
As for Obsession -- hilariously someone had a short spoiling the ending but I had no idea what it was I watched. It looked like it was the wench who was the villain? Or was it one of those situations where the guy was some kind of manipulative sexist/etc?
I have seen Obsession pop up on my feed occasionally, but other than the spoiler, I've soundly ignored it because it looked similar to another recent feminist horror film whose name I can't remember.
It's a Monkey's Paw movie. A guy makes a wish for a woman to love him. She falls in love with him, but there's a part of her fighting back against the wish. So something is controlling her to make her obsessed with the guy.
You could view the male lead as the villain, as he made a selfish wish and isn't considered about the condition of the woman he supposedly loves is in.
Ah okay, thanks for explaining that.
All of his problems are a result of him being effeminate. I'm not sure how OP sees this as feminism when the problems in the movie would have not happened or been solved by him being a "toxic" male. Hell if he'd not been a butter soft bitch and just told the girl how he felt then none of it would have occured
Yeah, I believe you are right. You can't even blame the willow because most of the people who made wishes were okay.
