To watch this film is to experience unaccountable dread and terror, as you enter the mind of a Gen Z man trying and failing to get a date.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=205\">Henry Nowak and the return of clan justice<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The young man in question is called Bear. Never was a name so ironically bestowed for this Bear is anxious, tentative, and terrified of overstepping. He\u2019s in love with a co-worker at the local music store, a girl called Nikki, but cannot steel himself to declare his affections to her. In a hippy shop selling crystals and dreamcatchers, he buys a \u201cOne Wish Willow\u201d \u2014 marketed as a \u201ccollectible toy from the Eighties\u201d. He breaks it in half as instructed, and wishes \u201cthat Nikki Freeman loved me more than anyone else in the world\u201d. He immediately gets his heart\u2019s desire, and all hell breaks loose.<\/p>\n<p>To boomers, this may sound like a familiar tale of the terrifyingly unhinged power of the female libido, with shades of\u00a0<em>Fatal Attraction<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0<em>Single White Female<\/em>. But this film is no nostalgic reprise of that late-Eighties theme. The obsession of the title belongs as much to the male as to the female; and if anything, the latter is to be thoroughly pitied. Thanks to the fulfillment of Bear\u2019s wish, Nikki is subject to an all-consuming romantic possession that drives her towards abject self-debasement and social humiliation against her better nature. During a rare moment of lucidity, she begs for death as a release, and who would blame her? We\u2019ve all been there, Nikki love.<\/p>\n<p>Actress Inde Navarrette pulls off an astonishing feat as the obsessed young woman, alternating insane aggression with comic pathos. Her devotion is child-like in its intensity, completely untrammeled by attempts to play it cool. Most of the time she is all id, no ego, openly begging Bear for more affection, ferociously guarding him against imagined rivals, and covering the front door with tape to stop him leaving for work. When that fails, she becomes literally rooted to the spot until he returns, with devastating consequences for the carpet.<\/p>\n<p>But for all of Nikki\u2019s spellbound antics, the more interesting character is Bear \u2014 sensitively played by another relative unknown, Michael Johnstone. His story makes a compelling contrast to the original \u201cmonkey paw\u201d trope, created by author W.W. Jacobs in 1902. Jacobs\u2019 short story depicted a cozy working-class domestic scene, interrupted by the arrival of an acquaintance fresh from the colonies, carrying with him a mysterious shriveled object that will grant three wishes. Ignoring the visitor\u2019s dire warnings and his own misgivings \u2014 \u201cit seems to me that I\u2019ve got all that I want\u201d \u2014 the family patriarch, Mr White, wishes for two hundred pounds. Next morning White receives this exact sum as compensation for his son\u2019s death, \u201ccaught in the machinery\u201d at work. The old man\u2019s second wish is to bring his horribly mangled son back. His third wish is to cancel out the second, finding himself too afraid to answer the ominous knock at the door.<\/p>\n<p>As befits a child of his time, director Barker says he first came across <em>The Monkey\u2019s Paw<\/em> via an episode of <em>The Simpsons<\/em>, but one hopes he\u00a0has\u00a0read Jacobs\u2019 story too. Along with all the timely social anxieties it expressed about the costs\u00a0to the working classes\u00a0of industrial progress, and the threat from the exotic foreigner (Mr White, anyone?), there was a simpler message there too. The Indian fakir who originally put the spell on the monkey\u2019s paw, Jacobs wrote, \u201cwanted to show that fate ruled people\u2019s lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow\u201d. White\u2019s mistake was to fail to accept his lot in life, trying in Promethean fashion to alter destiny instead. As such, he firmly belongs in the pantheon of classic Gothic overreachers, along with Victor Frankenstein and Dorian Gray.<\/p>\n<p>But Bear\u2019s tragic flaw is precisely the opposite. He is a chronic underreacher who uses his modernized monkey\u2019s paw as a lazy proxy for a deliberate, intentional choice. Romantically he is paralyzed, terrified of being seen to \u201ctake advantage\u201d of a girl \u2014 even though that\u2019s precisely what he eventually does. And even after it seems clear Nikki has fallen under his spell, still he can\u2019t bring himself to publicly own his feelings. When she asks him if he likes her, his guarded response is: \u201cWhy, do you like me?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=203\">Land of milk and silicon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Crazy as she is, Nikki can tell what Bear\u2019s real problem is. At one point she gives him a \u201cTiger\u2019s Eye\u201d stone as a love gift, to bring him \u201cconfidence and will-power\u201d. But it doesn\u2019t work, reappearing during the film\u2019s finale to no avail. It\u2019s not hard to conclude that through this character, Barker has neatly encapsulated the predicament of a generation: unable to ask a pretty girl for a light, let alone steal fire from the gods.<\/p>\n<p>According to some recent estimates, nearly 50% of men between 18-25 have never asked a woman out on a date. Possible reasons are legion, but include the fact that there are simply fewer chance encounters with strangers as social life has moved online. There is an attendant awareness in the young of social media\u2019s potential for making private humiliations public. And there\u2019s the surrounding progressive culture, placing huge emphasis on the potential for men to get sexual approaches wrong. Unfortunately, the threat of heavy social censure only seems to produce confusion and fear in conscientious types, while leaving habitual sex pests perfectly unperturbed.<\/p>\n<p>In a sense, then,\u00a0<em>Obsession<\/em>\u00a0acts as a permission structure to examine this\u00a0inadvertent\u00a0mess, drawing to the surface of consciousness a widespread ambivalence, but without telling viewers how to feel about it. Such story-telling neutrality makes a nice contrast with the socially conscious horror that was popular about a decade ago, following the success of Jordan Peele\u2019s\u00a0<em>Get Out<\/em>. Made at a moment of peak didacticism, Peele\u2019s film \u2014 though otherwise pretty good \u2014 was widely interpreted as saying black people\u00a0should be\u00a0afraid of white people, and that white people\u00a0should\u00a0feel bad about this. For a while afterwards, we got a spate of\u00a0clunky lectures\u00a0disguised as horror films, addressed primarily to viewer\u2019s consciences and only secondarily to their viscera.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0<em>Obsession<\/em> prefers showing not telling, and is all the better for it. When I eventually staggered out of the cinema, senses bruised by spectacle and noise, the world looked temporarily different. Strangers\u2019 smiles seemed uncanny, the birdsong eerily pronounced. I felt peculiarly in touch with the numinous, and that doesn\u2019t often happen to me in Horsham. It was as if I\u2019d had a tiny holiday from reality, or a restorative miniature psychotic break.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t get much of this\u00a0uncanny afterglow from streaming films at\u00a0home,\u00a0which is another reason why the\u00a0phenomenal success\u00a0of\u00a0<em>Obsession<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Backrooms<\/em> is so cheering. It is striking that both Barker and Kane Parsons \u2014 the 20-year-old director of <em>Backrooms<\/em> \u2014 began experimenting with their craft on much smaller screens, bypassing turgid studio systems by taking their output straight to YouTube, and building massive fanbases there. But still the silver screen retained its old power to bewitch.\u00a0As a result, now these directors are luring the kids out of their bedrooms to watch with other people \u2014 a fact that may do wonders for the birth rate, if nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably these newcomers are encountering\u00a0the thrill of mental surrender to a huge cinematic experience at close quarters, with no pause or mute button available, in a place where it is frowned upon to have a rival screen out at the same time. And who knows? Perhaps they are also learning of\u00a0that\u00a0time-honored way to make an easy move on your\u00a0love object, something\u00a0that also used to be big in the Eighties: reaching for a trembling hand in the\u00a0scary\u00a0dark.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityflowjournal.com\/?p=201\">Dems are losing a winnable election<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s often observed that horror films are a good barometer of pressing cultural anxieties.
