CARRIE doesn't really do it for me at all and most of his 80s-onwards output is totally uninteresting to me (though I've been told I should see RAISING CAIN because it's really far out there).
So, can any fans of OBSESSION tell me why I should consider spending the time and money on it? I'm willing to give it a shot if I can be lured. |
I like it because it's an ott melodrama with great actors, director, writer and composer all playing to the gallery. Of course, I've yet to see a De Palma film that I didn't like, or at least appreciate. But I think any Giallo or thriller fans should get a kick out of it. I personally can't wait to see it on Blu-ray.
Plot-wise... lt's best to go in cold and just let the film unfold. The less you know, the more you'll enjoy it.
