“He wouldn’t leave without telling anybody…” Or would he…? An official trailer has debuted for an indie psychological thriller film with the most obvious and generic title ever – Dark Obsession, made by British filmmaker George Henry Horton. Not to be confused with any other dark obsession thrillers with a similar title, including 1989’s Dark Obsession. A painter struggles with inner demons after being forced into a life of solitude when her husband leaves mysteriously. Do answers lie with her mother, who desperately tries to connect with her, or also her fearful neighbor? “When we first started filming, we were told by SAG we were the first pandemic film shooting in the whole of the Southern United States. That we pulled it off is nothing short of a testament to the dedication and talent of our wonderful cast and crew,” the filmmakers say. This dark mystery thriller stars Blaine Morris, Mena Suvari, Adriana Barraza, and Danielle Harris, with Kathleen Kinmont & Luke Barnett. Doesn’t look like there’s much of anything to see here. Move along.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for George Henry Horton’s Dark Obsession, direct from YouTube:
Anne (Blaine Morris), an aspiring painter and housewife, struggles with inner demons and a mysterious presence lurking in the forest surrounding her home after being forced into a life of solitude when her husband leaves unexpectedly under mysterious circumstances… The only person she can speak to is her closest confidant Maya (Mena Suvari), who has a dark secret of her own. Do the answers perhaps lie with her mother (Adriana Barraza), who desperately tries to connect with her, or maybe her fearful neighbor, Charlotte? Dark Obsession, formerly known as Anne, With Love, is directed by the British writer / actor / filmmaker George Henry Horton, making his feature directorial debut after helping produce many other indie films previously. The screenplay is written by George Henry Horton and Blaine Morris. Produced by Horton, Morris, Danielle Harris, Alyssa Katalyna, and Matt Simonelli. Dark Obsession will debut in the UK starting August 28th, 2023 streaming on Sky, with a US release on VOD later this fall. Anyone interested?
