In The Night Kitchen (1987)

This Netflix series is about Ashley Garcia, who gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to work at NASA.

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.

KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't.
