Obsessed revolves around the story of Lisa Sheridan, who develops unrequited feelings for her boss, Derek Charles. The woman makes several attempts to seduce him, even though she knows he is married. Derek’s wife, Sharon, becomes suspicious of an affair when she notices Lisa’s behavior. This movie was inspired by the works of directors Roman Polanski and Alfred Hitchcock.

Upon its release, the movie made $73.8 million at the box office on its budget of $20 million. Not just that, during the opening week, it took the top spot because this beloved musician starred in the film. Unfortunately, it failed to create an impact on the audience then, but this time it might change, considering Netflix has been known for making underdog projects popular via its platform.
