Film Threat

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.

Dark Obsession tells the story of a painter wrestling with her inner turmoil following her husband's abrupt departure, which thrusts her into a solitary life. The narrative begins at a measured pace, a deliberate choice that paves the way for a gradually intensifying storyline peppered with unforeseen twists and engaging dialogue. The film excels in its execution, and Mena Suvari, portraying Maya, stands out as a favorite among the cast. For fans of thrillers, this film is a must-see, offering an ending that is both surprising and satisfying.
