Critics Consensus

While it may offer some thrills and unintentional laughs, Secret Obsession is mostly a formulaic and dumb thriller.

This is a pretty bad movie, but it seems to be bad in the way it's meant to be bad. It's cheerfully trashy, and if that's up your alley, have at it.

Secret Obsession does pretty much exactly what you expect it to, and presumably what you want it to, if you watched the brief preview clip while browsing Netflix and then decided that, yes, you would like to hit play.

Quarter two [Netflix] subscriptions are down... Offerings like this would be a part of the reason.

For all the hype Netflix had given this film, it might as well have been another Scary Movie.

Rated: 2/5

Lyles' Movie Files

Successfully proves that patented formula of predictably cheesy yet entertaining heroine in distress films aren't as easy as Lifetime makes it appear.

Rated: 3/10

Trash acting, trash dialog, and trash story.

Very predictable (yawn) suspense thriller. I gave it 2 stars because Dennis Haysbert (the Allstate guy) gives 110% and is a very believable character. He'd be great in a regular role as a police detective tv show.

Not my favorite movie at all, specially because it's very predictable, you can guess everything in the movie if you know about thriller movies. The shots are ok, nothing special at all, besides, more creativity with them would make it a better movie in cinematography terms. The fashion is mediocre supposing the time, 2019, it's kind of no fashion sense at all, but that's ok because it's besides the point. Overall it's ok if you want a movie to spend your time, nothing else.

The movie's familiar plot didn't deter me, but the actress's lacking performance was a major letdown.
