Obsessed

About This Movie

Obsessed (1983) is a lesser-known gem from the Hong Kong horror scene. It’s got this eerie tone that really creeps under your skin, with a pacing that builds tension slowly but surely. The atmosphere is almost palpable, immersing you in its unsettling world. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, showcasing some gruesome moments that stick with you. The performances carry a weight that adds to the dread; there's an intensity in the characters that draws you in. It’s distinct from the more mainstream offerings of the time, tapping into themes of obsession and madness that resonate in a uniquely unsettling way. Not your typical horror fare, for sure.
