Fatal Attraction (1987)

Curry Barker’s film, Obsession, soars in success this past May leaving everyone who has watched it in extreme chills and disturbance. And taking it to new levels of why men are always the root of horror films even when they try not to be. This film easily falls into my favorite genre along with Fatal Attraction and Gone Girl where men famously don’t get to “have their cake and eat it too”. In these specific types of movies, we witness the lead female character acquire these psychotic, destructive traits because of the disloyal, traitorous actions of their male love interests. There is nothing more horrifying to me than a man getting what he wants at the cost of others but facing no consequences, which is why Obsession did not disappoint.
