"I knew it would come to this," hisses Sharon when finding Lisa lurking around her beautiful Brentwood home--at which point I exclaimed, "Me too!"--and then the fun (and, for many, the entire purpose of the film) starts. Full Review |

 3/10 |
Seldom does a movie thriller misfire so severely as this one. Full Review |

Obsessed left me completely uninterested Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Another movie that demonstrates it's bad feng shui to place a glass coffee table beneath a chandelier beneath an attic that can't even support the weight of a blond wearing little more than the whipped-cream bikini she sported in 'Varsity Blues.' Full Review |

They did this movie a few years ago. It was called "The Temp". So many holes in the plot, I stopped counting. An unintentional laugh riot! Full Review |

Slow, one-note and climactically risible. Full Review |

Not even the lovely Beyoncé Knowles can save this clichéd thriller. Full Review |

1/5 |
A dim reworking of Fatal Attraction, directed with anonymous efficiency. Full Review |

If Obsessed were a perfume, it would ming like happy hour at a squids' brothel. This atrocious, and atrociously derivative affair is not only an early contender for worst film of 2009. Full Review |

1/5 |
It’s execrable; a fist-chewing embarrassment that has no right to a theatrical release. Full Review |

1/5 |
Idris Elba, so good in The Wire, looks a long way from Baltimore in this overcooked Fatal Attraction-style yarn about a cocksure executive laid low by the office temp. Full Review |

1/5 |
Everyone involved should feel cheap and used. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Vanity bunkum of the first order wait until TV for this one. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Lurching woozily between daytimesoap psychodrama and a brainless, claws-out, pseudo-feminist slasher flick, Obsessed is one boiled rabbit away from bad-film nirvana. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
It could be the least erotic thriller ever made, unless die-you-bitch catfights through broken attic floorboards constitute some sort of kinky subgenre. Full Review |
||
|
7/10 |
This is a guilty pleasure from start to finish and there is absolutely nothing new here but Obsessed is brilliant fun. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Horrid, hackneyed and half-witted. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Beyonce's latest movie contains more laughs than the entire output of Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy. Just one problem - Obsessed is meant to be a thriller. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Obsessed is both a front runner for the worst movie of the year and a must-see stinker. Full Review |
