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

Amnesia might not be so bad after viewing Secret Obsession

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

What a crap movie. I’m sorry, but if you want cheesy dumb cliches this movie has got em all. The girl has no survival instincts at all. The cop has discovered so many red flags yet doesn’t come with backup. He was no help at all. The look she gets when she sees the stairs. As if going down stairs on one leg is impossible. And it’s unbelievable how many strange things she discovers about him yet she still asks him what’s going on. If junk like this lands on Netflix maybe I should start making movies and give it a shot….
