★★★½ (3½ out of 4)
Have I got a movie for you—a next gen “Fatal Attraction” called “Obsession” that makes a star out of Inde Navarrette as a dream girl conjured from hell and turns newbie filmmaker Curry Barker into the freshest and most perversely funny voice in erotic thrillers since director Brian De Palma taught us about psychos who dress to kill. Barker’s influences are also 21st century; think Zach Cregger’s Weapons” with Aunt Gladys putting a rictus grin on a tortured psyche. But DePalma knew about how the fear of sex was just as strong, maybe stronger, than carnal attraction. Barker knows it too and wants to kick it around.
