I finally broke down and put this one on. I wasn't necessarily avoiding it but I've often found a repelling nature of things that garner overt public opinion. I don't think it's to be intentionally contrary but I also wouldn't be so bold as to presume that doesn't play a part. Regardless, in the best interest of the 31 days and closing it out well I figured I'd tackle this one in the home stretch to see if it lived up to the hype. A few months ago I don't think you could go anywhere without hearing about somebody raving about Obsession. Every time I heard "You've gotta see it!" I just recoiled a little further. Well, we've crossed the threshold and now it's time to find out how it went.

The Possession of Hannah Grace

I should start with a disclaimer. I'm well aware that we are definitively beyond the 31 Days of Horror and it's been full on Christmas season for an entire week now. So how did I end up back her in the thick of all things spooky? Well I made some new friends tonight. I was on the TikToks, and as an aged man of 43 I'm fully allowed to call it that intentionally. There was a young lady I had come across earlier in the day who was once again entertaining a live broadcast. Before anything untoward has the opportunity to take root, she's a lovely young lady who is more than likely 15+ years my junior, lives several states away and is currently in a wonderfully committed relationship with a young man whom I am also considering a new friend. They are a delightfully talented and entirely interesting young couple I'm quite thankful to have stumbled across. While enjoying the para-social aspect that this venue creates, It did not take terribly long before the conversation steered full on into horror movies. I was pleasantly surprised a bit but absolutely intrigued and we spring boarded into a lengthy and terrifically engaging conversation among a handful of participants darting to and fro through a curiously accumulated catalog of titles. By the time the event had run its course a good while later and she was retiring for the evening, I had created my own new list of films to consume. Eager to begin, as new recommendations often spark a sense of urgency in me, I questioned where best to begin my endeavor and she gave me the name of this film. Thus, here we are once more. I should think that is more than enough ado, so we shall curtail any further and get on with my thoughts about the film...

the big one
I think most normal people don't get the type of anxiety I do when someone asks me what my favorite movie is. And I know if you're reading this you're nodding your head along with me, ""Yes Ron. We understand it's an insane question to ask a person who loves movies as much as WE do." I mean to put somebody on the spot like that, it's RIDICULOUS. My point is, if you see a guy walking your way wearing a t-shirt that reads "There is only one "Return" and it's not of the King" the polite thing to do would be to ask them, "Isn't Return of the Jedi amazing?" and they will embrace you like a brother. Here's a list of the top 10 movies I'm comfortable disclosing...on this day.
