Can the next member of the Scooby gang who's going to shuffle off into the great beyond wait a couple years first, my heart can't take 3 of em dying within a couple years ☹️

Ugh, so many people complaining about the monster at the end of Backrooms *spoilers* being silly/dumb/cheesy and saying it ruins the movie, as if it has anything to do with the overall point and themes of the overall story and its ending. Yes, everyone, the movie is saying that the liminal, cartoony echo of the main character's past is the Final Boss of the backrooms, you are soooo much smarter than the movie for thinking it's not scary. (Same reason why it pissed me off when I would talk about the original Stephen King "It" movie growing up, one of my childhood favorites, and so many people's instant reaction was "well the spider at the end was dumb, so it sucked") it's like duuuuuude, why does one aspect that you found to be poorly done have to completely ruin an otherwise well made and thoughtful movie? Of course these are the same people heaping praise for Obsession, so it shouldn't be surprising.

Obsession is quickly becoming the most overrated movie of the year. Everyone I follow on Letterboxd keeps giving it 4 stars and up, and I feel like I'm going insane because the film was basically a nothingburger. A shallow plot that's been done way better in other movies and shows with forced-ass jumpscares and nothing thoughtful to say about the kinds of unhealthy relationships it's spoofing. This CANNOT be the future of horror, guys.
