‘Obsession’ and the Rise of Incel Horror: When Men’s Entitlement Becomes the Monster

A local film, Obsession, has sparked discussion about the portrayal of men's entitlement in horror movies. The film's storyline, centered around a supernatural curse, also explores the idea of a man feeling entitled to a woman's love and body without her consent. This theme has been referred to as "incel horror" by some women online, particularly on TikTok. They are reexamining past films and modern ones, like Obsession, through a feminist lens. Further details about this emerging trend and its potential impact on the future of cinema can be found in the original article in Ms. Magazine.
