Anne (Blaine Morris), an aspiring painter and housewife, struggles with inner demons and a mysterious presence lurking in the forest surrounding her home after being forced into a life of solitude when her husband leaves unexpectedly. The only person she can speak to is her closest confidant Maya (Mena Suvari), who has a dark secret of her own. Do the answers perhaps lie with her mother (Adriana Barraza), who desperately tries to connect with her, or her fearful neighbor, Charlotte (Danielle Harris)?

The art found in Dark Obsession comes from its quick edits, use of natural light, and a very Lifetime soundtrack. Sure, Hollywood could do it better, but there’s fun and freedom that shines in this indie thriller.
