What happens when a horror film feels painfully familiar?
In this personal episode of Riff & Respawn, I read my piece on Obsession, exploring what I loved about the film and how its portrayal of control and fear connects with my own experiences of domestic abuse.
Alongside the film discussion, I share what it meant to live around unpredictable violence, to tread on eggshells and to feel that leaving didn't necessarily mean escaping.
Content note: Contains film spoilers, discussion of domestic abuse and coercive control, violence towards animals, and references to suicide. Please listen at your own pace and step away whenever you need to.
