20 INTENSE OBSESSION / STALKER MOVIES | Spookyastronauts

[@johnpatrickintrampas2745]

I freaking love stalker films! the creepiest moments in everyone's lives is having a stalker in both indoor and outdoor.

[@omargracia1868]

The creepiest moment in ones life is when you discover that YOU are the stalker. That's creepy. Sometimes I give myself the creeps.

[@lisablount9321]

Yea it's fine if your into that person

[@Starkardur]

Alicia's performance in The Crush is still her best performance to date.

[@gavo1201]

Gunnhild Edwards Along with Clueless. Totally different type of movie of course, but it was a great performance for comedy. :)

The plot twist blow my mind.

It has great elevator music.

[@TequilaToothpick]

Perfect Blue is one of the greatest animated movies, one of the greatest J-Horror and one of great horror movies in general and more relevant than ever.

[@thoso1973]

Some classics that are must-see films imo: - Peeping Tom (Powell) - The Conversation (Coppola) - Body Double (De Palma) - Spoorloos (Sluizer)

[@lamaquinadefiesta]

The conversation is a masterpiece!

[@ScottBlade]

Body Double is an overlooked, awesome flick!

[@spookyastronauts]

Some great ones here!

I'm glad that Chloe (2009) is in your list in the description, it's such an underrated movie! Yeah okay, the ending is pretty crazy and ridiculous, but the rest of the film makes it worth the watch.

[@PeachFlavoredKaiju]

My favorite intense obsession movie is perfect blue i love that movie. Great list as always Emma

[@chiefkamachi1]

I just saw it a month ago. Ive never seen a film before that connects the viewer as much with the protagonist. At the end I really felt like I was in the movie in place of her. And going crazy just like her when the movie progresses. Its weird. But what a masterpiece.

Great film!

I'm so happy you put Creep & The Hand That Rocks The Cradle!! I'm a fan of stalker films too :) I think i't's probably because we are more normal than the stalkers, plus we are happy it's not us!?! Great countdown again!!

[@lamaquinadefiesta]

Yess, Emma serving what we need! One of my all time favorite is called Caché by Michael Haneke and it's not really horror, but it's a really well made stalker movie about a man who finds a tape left at his door with footage of his house and some weird drawings, he keeps receiving more tapes at his door, always footage of something that has to do with him... I'm bad at sharing the story of a movie without spoiling it, so just watch it!

[@linusfotograf]

Check out Lost Highway for more stalker tapes!

[@TheManiac666]

Ratter sounds similar to a movie called Alone With Her (2006). It involves a guy who sets up a bunch of hidden cameras in a woman's house and uses what he sees to become a part of her life. Very creepy and well done. P.S. The Gift is awesome :)

[@HorrorGod920]

Also similar to the liven the den

[@AlyssaJaneVolta]

Thank you for including Ingrid Goes West! I love that movie so much. It is in my top 10 of all time and one of my comfort movies ❤️ The character Nicky is such an underrated villain!

[@dead_beatbunny]

Yes! I love it so much and don't know anyone whose seen it. So underrated.

[@brajeshsingh2391]

the manner in which Emma presents the list adds to the quality. The enthusiasm is just great. makes you want to watch all of them. Great presentation. just notice how she says The Fan , The Fan and finally The Fan. Great. Though I could not understand the meaning of the phrase Cookie Cutter. Also I really could not understand the "specific reason" she chose the order ? Lets see if anybody can find it out ? I request it to be a secret for a month. i will watch this video again a few times to see if I can find it out ? Let us see what can the reason behind the order. Another great stalker/ obsession film presented in the most comical manner is What About Bob ? its nowhere near horrar or thrillaar as she says but just came to my mind so I wrote about it.

[@spookyastronauts]

Someone has guessed the order right in the comments. It’s not too hard ;)

[@brajeshsingh2391]

@@spookyastronauts yes it was rather simple. Alternatively the stalker is male and female. But the manner you presented it really added to the challenge. Could you do a review of Truth or Dare ? And the best horror sequels ? Btw the list is great. well done

[@anthonyarthursalinas3522]

OMG this was my absolute FAVORITE movie list! I had to save it because there are 3 I need to see. I really was delighted to see Fade To Black in here, as I had forgotten this movie from my childhood, when I would sneak up late at night and watch scary movies by peeking into the living room while my grandfather watched them. Unsane is one that I always talk about because I love that it was all done with an iPhone.

[@colleenchristi8245]

The Gift is SO good, and so CREEPY. Also, really love Rebecca Hall. And of course Duplass and CREEP can do no wrong. Great list as always, Emma!

[@Tamsin_bear]

I love stalker films despite the fact I haven’t actually seen many! Thanks for this, going to try and watch a load of these :)

[@Giantshredder]

The Crush is one of my favorite movies from my teen years. I was absolutely obsessed with Alicia Silverstone. Also, Fear....I learned so many of my moves from Mark Wahlburg. He was so smooth in that movie.

[@victorrobidas7095]

I was surprised at what you didn’t say about The Exorcist (1973)! For that time period, that movie was over the top! I remember my mother who was Superintendent of St John’s Ambulance being called to have Brigade members in attendance! It was known for how negatively it affected some viewers! (fainting, screaming, running out in absolute fear, some believing they were possessed, some were hospitalized and treated in a Psychiatric facility)! I’ve never seen it and won’t because of how it affected my mother! Suffice it to say, 1973-1975 were not good years in our home!

[@brandonbarker961]

"Windows" from 1980, starring Talia Shire and Elizabeth Ashley. It was the "Single White Female" before Single White Female, but was overlooked and swept under the carpet due to its controversial content at the time. Great list and nice to see "Berlin Syndrome" on your list of honorable mentions!!

[@Screenfunfacts]

Damn. I thought I was the only one knowing this movie. Made me feel special haha.

Hi, Emma! I’m so glad you mentioned He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not! I had just happened upon this film once, and stayed with it throughout, because Audrey Tatou ( I think I spelled that right) was attached to it! You’re right about the fact that it was predictable; but I was absolutely fascinated with Audrey Tatou’s performance, given the fact that previously I had seen her in DaVinci Code, and , of course, the wonderful Amelie!

[@misterigsby]

Play Misty for me! On Clint’s 90th birthday too- that’s a personal favourite when it comes to stalker flicks. Glad it made it onto your list :)

[@susetteoreilly5519]

Great list Emma. If you like movies that revolve around stalkers then i'd highly recommend the Spanish language movie Julia's Eyes, it's pretty scary & a great movie that i don't hear mentioned very often.

Hi Emma , Glad you like Cape Fear. One of my favourite somewhat campy films. Seems to intentionally go over the top a few times. Very clever film.

[@nickrommelaere9657]

Great list. Even though I have seen almost 4000 movies, you always manage to point out interesting ones I have yet to see. For my favorite stalker movie, I would have to say Eden Lake (2008). Keep up the good work!

[@spookyastronauts]

I love Eden Lake! But I think of it more as an invasion film

[@ali_saurus95xx92]

Amazing list Emma! I have an obsession with stalker films too so you’re not alone 😂🖤 I think why is because the psychological aspect of someone becoming that way is interesting (to me anyways) The Crush is one of my all time favourites, I just watched it last night for the first time in years 💜

[@whoiscalebreese]

The Loved Ones (2009) is a great Australian film that I think fits perfectly in the obsession/stalker category. Lola is such a great and creepy character, highly recommend if you haven't already seen it!

[@MrRagingMammoth]

God I love your content. You always manage to dig out films I haven't found, despite trawling for hours looking for horrors.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks Banks

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Excellent list of films, Emma. I'm happy to report that I have seen 32 (of the 40) films and 4 of those films are in my video library. "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" is probably my favorite of the stalker genre. Here are three more I could recommend: IN THE LINE OF FIRE (1993, w/Clint Eastwood) - While the villain wants to kill the president, he plays this intense cat-and-mouse game with Secret Service agent Eastwood. THE PAPERBOY (1994, w/Alexandra Paul) - A woman is stalked by the local paperboy, who is 12 years old. A creepy, tongue-in-cheek thriller. THE NURSE (1997, w/Lisa Zane) - A guilty pleasure about a live-in nurse out for revenge against the family. Lisa Zane plays the nurse very well.

[@arvin8050]

Loved this video, Emma! I hope you do 20 slasher films next or maybe a video for the show American Horror Story.

Awesome list Emma. I am happy you mentioned "Crush" and "Ingrid goes West". I would recommend checking out "Perfect blue", but it was mentioned in comments and I suppose you already know this classic. Have you seen " Devil in the flesh" ?

[@boydcrowder5034]

Very awesome list you've got there. I've seen most of these movies. I will be buying Unsane, eventually. I watched Play Misty For Me for the first time last year, and, really enjoyed it. Absolutely loved Cape Fear. The Crush is also a favorite of mine. I would recommend the movie Striking Distance (1991). That is about a cop being taunted by a serial killer. It stars Bruce Willis and Sarah Jessica Parker. I would also recommend a movie called Stalked. It is from the early 90's. It is about a man that becomes obsessed with a single mother,and her son. This movie stars Jay Underwood. Thank you for another awesome video. I appreciate all the hard work that you do for us 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@WORKOBEYFILMS]

The queue continues to grow! Thanks :D

[@75jmm]

I've seen most of these, but The Gift is probably my favorite. Although I really loved Misery (the book is great too if you haven't read it). I also loved Wicker Park, I saw that one back when it first came out years ago. Another great list!

[@CorbCorbin]

Wicker Park gets almost no love. Killer soundtrack, with a weirdly filmed stalker story, that makes it seem like it’s going to have a supernatural twist for part of it.

[@filmfangirls9163]

Oh my gosh Fear was my first horror movie!! I wasnt used to gore or jumps so it really affected me! But watching it now having seen so much more disturbing, I find it entertaining for nostalgia. Whoa! How did I not know a stalker film starring Alicia Silverstone and Cary Elwes?! Time to watch the Crush!! Thanks, Emma!

Thanks for the disturbing memories! Hand that Rocks the Cradle and Misery are a couple of my favorites. Don't know if this one counts, but I would include Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp).

[@psychsephone9832]

I'm a year late but I can't resist dropping my fave here: The Collector (the 1965 movie, not the early 2000s horror franchise). It's an absolute masterpiece and a perfect adaptation of the book by John Fowles. There is more obsession than stalking in this movie since most of the plot centers around a captivity situation (the stalking came beforehand), but I still think it reigns supreme in this category.

[@nessalutton4493]

[@aaroncarson1770]

The thing about Fear is that it exacerbated my unhealthy obsession with bad boys. Wahlberg is so good, that even when he's being terrifying, I'm still a bit weak in the knees.

[@arupian666]

Couple of suggestions for you Em... "Alone With Her" is a pretty good flick, kinda disturbing and icky... "The Video Diary Of Ricardo Lopez"... SO profoundly and utterly disturbing. The most intense film I've ever seen about obsession because it's the actual video diary kept by the guy that sent the singer Bjork, a bomb. The film chronicles his final days, during which he mails the bomb (Hollywood can't even come close to the tension, seen in the doc, as he psyches himself up to go to Post Office). I had an overwhelming feeling of pity for him. He desperately needed professional help. Help that he never got. The official documentary stops short of the tragic, inevitable ending and I'd warn you against searching online for it. I searched. I saw it. And it haunts my nightmares to this day... truth is, indeed, stranger and more disturbing than fiction.

[@vidab.8149]

I'm hoping you have seen "The Hand That Rocks The Cradel" 👈 Fits perfectly in a Top 20 as well. Great List btw🕵❤

[@URBONED]

Some great films in here, and some I will definitely check out! Only odd one out that I can't agree with is Ingrid Goes West. To say it has a strong theme kind of melts my mind, because by the end of that film the message I got from it was "suicide is okay as long as you share it on social media first so that you will be saved".. I couldn't have thought of a more toxic message to send to people.
