(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 16% Rotten Page   1   D- "A trashy, empty calorie thriller that plays with racial bugaboos and DTV slasher conventions for a cheap, conversation-with-the-screen response. Oh my, this picture is junk food, but worse, it's an absolute toothless bore."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf D "TV director Steve Shill makes his feature film debut a forgettable one."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "A predictable, trashily entertaining time-filler. There are signs in the first half that it could have been more than that, and this is why disappointment sets in."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D+ "Are people not aware of the Lifetime Movie Network, which shows films like this 24 hours a day for free?"   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1.5/4 "[An] uninspired, generic psycho-chick flick...Puerile and simplistic in its synthetic gimmickry, Obsessed oozes nothing but contempt and a cornball solution for exploiting the repetitive misogynist melodramas"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "Tawdry potboiler...a very bad rip-off of Fatal Attraction."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "a stylishly empty stab at the genre that makes no bones about its obviousness even as it introduces a deliberately racialized twist"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/10 "Seldom does a movie thriller misfire so severely as this one."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2/5 "Obsessed left me completely uninterested"   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 1/5 "The payoff might be the perfect visceral ending for your aggressive modern woman, but a fine piece of storytelling it is not."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr ""I knew it would come to this," hisses Sharon when finding Lisa lurking around her beautiful Brentwood home--at which point I exclaimed, "Me too!"--and then the fun (and, for many, the entire purpose of the film) starts."   Reverse Shot   Leo Goldsmith "This is one of those impossible horror movies, like the kind about giant radioactive ants or invading aliens who want to steal our water. Lisa is just a crazy psychotic bitch..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "Gene Siskel used to talk about the Idiot Plot - a plot that could be resolved in five minutes, were all the characters not complete idiots. Obsessed represents the dictionary definition of the Idiot Plot."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2.5/4 "Director Shill doesn't get fancy building tension from his nonsensical male-anxiety mayhem, allowing Knowles's beguiling fierceness and Larter's sexualized cunning to carry much of the prurient load."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager "You would be better served by simply watching the video for the Beyonce-Shakira duet "Beautiful Liar"--not only does it do a better job of conveying the same basic story seen here, the choreography is a lot better."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "So hammy and overwrought that it's actually hysterically entertaining."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2.5/5 "Too "safe" to be a provocative thriller or an incendiary drama, and it's way too flat and sedate to qualify as a movie bad enough to mock."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 4/10 "A ludicrous psychodrama that offers vicarious thrills, particularly the highly-publicized, climactic catfight."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 4/10 "A hollow experience altogether, based entirely on its protagonist's despicable stupidity and unable to connect in a real way to anything human."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 16% Rotten Page   1
