Full of "practical" special effects with clear 80s and 90s appeal, The Obsessed is an extreme body horror inspired by the story of Ricardo Lopez (1975-1996), the stalker of Icelandic singer Bjork.
The direction of The Obsessed (review here) is by BAD TRIP Bros, an Italian-Albanian factory composed of Domiziano Cristopharo (House of Flesh Mannequins, Red Krokodil), Iva Cakalli and Jacopo Tomassini. Together with Andrea Cavaletto (Hidden in the Woods, Hyde's Secret Nightmare), the latter two also handled the film's screenplay.
Plot: Ricardo (Jacopo Tomassini) becomes infatuated with singer Eva to the point of obsession. The man will begin writing letters to her and dedicate a video diary to her, but the news of the artist's engagement will plunge him into a state of despair that will drive him to accumulate resentment toward Eva until he makes an extreme gesture.
Also in the cast of this first Albanian horror produced by BAD TRIP Bros. are Bjordi Mezini and Elisa Carrera Fumagalli (Deep Web XXX).
The artistic team of BAD TRIP Bros consists of Jacopo Tomassini/Iva Cakalli (both heading the technical and FX department) and Domiziano Cristopharo, while the soundtrack is by Antony Coia (Virus: Extreme Contamination, House of Flesh Mannequins) with tracks by Susan DiBona (The Theatre Bizarre).
