"Evil Obsession," an erotic thriller? More like a neurotic chiller!, 6 April 1999
2/10
Author: D.S. from USA

A chiller, not a thriller, is the best way to describe this dreary feature, about an obsessed nerd (Corey Feldman) fixated on supermodel Margo Johnson (Kimberly Stevens), while someone is murdering other supermodels.

A script without depth, "Evil Obsession" leaves many questions unanswered. For example, given the popularity of showbiz supermodels -- from coverage in top publications to television entertainment-related sources -- why would the news of these murders be so downplayed? No sign of the press. Just the sound of the radio personality's announcement and a visual showing a lead character reading a newspaper's headline.

Well, of course, this is a low-budget feature with a low aim. And it doesn't have much aim, neither. We're expected to care, but don't, about numerous subplots, such as the possibility of romance between Johnson and her hired detective (Mark Derwin) -- their flirtatious and imminent lovemaking scenes are anything but hot -- and the possibly lethal manipulations of Margo's pompous acting coach (Brion James).

And the performances in director Richard W. Munch's film run the gamut from the mentally comatose to the proverbial hambones. Perhaps seeing is believing. But why waste the time?

"Evil Obsession," for all you erotic thriller fans, plays more like a neurotic chiller.
