Review of Obsessed

Obsessed (1992 TV Movie)
5/10
time capsule
19 May 2006
Warning: Spoilers
My wife watches Lifetime constantly. I derided this movie when it came on, but the sight of shoulder pads on Shannen Dougherty's blazer made it impossible to look away. This file is a great fashion time capsule for the early 90s. There's also acid washed fabric, big earrings, granny boots, long sweater/leggings combo, and lots of teal and purple. Story's really predicable. The denouement scene where the boyfriend and the distant father meet could've had a flashing sign in the background that read "FATHER FIGURE COMPLEX." The scene where Shannen shows up drunk at Devane's house wearing only a trench coat (but somehow having perfectly styled big hair of the era) was hilarious.
