October 14, 2009A reworking of Fatal Attraction with strong performances and a decent climax that just about compensates for the film's failures in pacing and plotting.

September 19, 2009What I love most about Obsessed is that it makes no sense. I could give you a long, drawn out plot synopsis or I could just ask you if you have seen either Play Misty For Me or Fatal Attraction. You have?

August 25, 2009Hoowee...what a spycho! The cast was pretty impressive and mst of the time delivered. It started out ok, started dragging a little but then delievered at the end wih the chick fight. It's ok to watch,not sure I would sit down for it again though.

Armond White, The New York Press
Even as junk, Obsessed isn't kick-ass enough. The wind-up to Sharon's explosion takes too long, and director Steve Shill can't stage a real donnybrook. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Great-looking actors, glossy locations and a knock-down, drag-out girlfight still don't make Obsessed anything more than a predictable and tawdry Fatal Attraction-style guilty pleasure. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Obsessed takes far too long to get cooking, and it works so hard at not being exploitation that it loses sight of its reasons for existing in the first place. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
I'd call this stenchcloud 'Fatal Attraction meets The Temp,' but that would insult those movies. full review

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
It's strictly a generic thriller, perhaps the 105th blatant rip-off of 'Fatal Attraction', but not without its own guilty pleasures. full review

Director Shill doesn't get fancy building tension from his nonsensical male-anxiety mayhem, allowing Knowles's beguiling fierceness and Larter's sexualized cunning to carry much of the prurient load. full review
