    I liked backrooms way more than obsession, it has some interesting themes, suspense and some unpredictability. For me obsession was just another default American horror movie where the characters make stupid decisions, but I guess they are both OK considering their budgets

      Oh, I couldn’t disagree more on your interpretation on obsession. Bear is not stupid and he doesn’t make his decisions out of stupidity. Everything that happens after the dinner scene, he knows exactly what’s going on and he doesn’t care. That is why it becomes so scary on so many levels.

      I’m still curious about Backrooms and it is totally fair to not like Obsession as much as Backrooms, but the way you talk about it, it seems like you wither missed the point of Obsession or you didn’t pay attention to the story.
