Clive
Riordan, a London psychiatrist, becomes thoroughly fed up
with the endless stream of lovers his wife, Storm, seems to
enjoy. He plans revenge against her latest conquest, Bill
Kronin, after he catches them in the act. As far as Storm
and the rest of the world are concerned Bill has simply disappeared
but there's far more to this than would at first appear...
At
its core Obsession is a simple tale of revenge. But,
one with an almost Hitchcock-like quality to it. It's not
an overly complicated plot: Man jealous of wife, man catches
wife with new lover, man attempts to kill new lover and get
away with it. But, it is the suspense that is the real killer
here. Will he get away with it? Will the police discover what
is going on before the murder can take place?
This
is also a tale of murder with a twist. Riordan's method of
murder is cunning and calculated. He has already started to
plot against his victim, even before he has met him. Fed up
with his wife's cheating ways, Riordan plans the perfect crime
months, maybe even years, in advance - leaving nothing to
chance.
While
the picture quality on this release is superior to VHS copies,
it wouldn't have done any harm if the film print had been
cleaned a little before its transference to DVD There are
plenty of hairs and minor imperfections on the film stock.
There are are also no real extras on this DVD apart from brief
biographies for the main cast and crew - but then, to be honest,
the film is enough.
If
you fancy seeing how a real chiller should be made then Obsession
is worth a look.
