The film Obsession (2026) was triggering. Anyone else feel this?
Just got home from watching the new horror movie "Obsession" which is getting very popular at the moment. I love horror movies and was expecting an intense experience based on what I had heard, but nothing could have prepared me for how I feel now. The movie was so horrifically pertinent to things I've struggled with in OCD, especially regarding my relationships with people in my life. It took deeply personally affecting concepts and triggers and took them to an almost soul-shattering extent, I'm feeling very on edge and I'm worried it's going to have a lasting impact. Hopefully I will get to sleep eventually lol.
I think the film is an allegory surrounding mental illness within relationships, so it makes sense. Plus, the title is literally Obsession. A friend I saw it with similarly observed their own experience with (non-OCD) mental illness in the film. That being said, the film in itself was beautiful and did a brilliant job at doing what it was trying to do.
I'm so curious if anyone has had a similar experience with this film, or any film I suppose? Let me know!!
