I watched Obsession in the theater the other day. It's a little bit sad that the primary emotional residue from watching a slasher horror equal-parts-scary-and-silly-and-slightly-nonsensical movie like that for me is bitter nostalgia for being the age of all the characters, where most of my peers were single and had unencumbered social lives and messy and malleable interpersonal dynamics and so on. Maybe my secondary emotional reaction is a slight bit of something like relief over a depiction of a young man even more severely loveshy than I am/was.
Anyway, here are what I would call the three most important moral takeaways (only very vague spoilers here), the first of which is a platitude found in the moral message of like a quarter of all stories, the second of which is a common-sense message perhaps not given often enough in fictional media, and the third of which is most specific and also least necessary to propagate of all.
