I honestly can't say this is the worst movie ever made, but mostly that's because I haven't seen every movie ever made. The plot has more holes than a pair of fishnets and every single person acts like they're being made to do it at gunpoint. Poor wasshername, who had some sort of career before Secret Obsession, hoppity hops from trope to trope as the Woman with Amnesia. The slow reveal includes a Sad Cop who is battling his way to redemption, a Nice Nurse who must be making a billion dollars a year because she seems to be the only person ever working at the hospital (although she also finds time to conveniently be in a car park for an accidental path-crossing) and a Mysterious Tattooed Guy who.... actually I have no idea what he was doing or why. Bad Husband slowly reveals his badness through general creepiness, the threat of sexual violence and then by being a total murderer. Gorgeous wood house in the woods where all the action happens is ironically less wooden than all the acting. (One of my fave bits is where hubby boasts that there's no shortage of wood for the fire, whilst gazing into the flames of a gas fireplace). Watch this with your friends and take a shot whenever something stupid or inexplicable happens. You'll be buckled by the end of the first act and possibly hospitalised by the time the credits role.

Made for a drinking game!
Considering canceling my Netflix after this terrible movie...
It's so bad that I felt disrespected by Netflix. Now they're making any generic movie to convince users that's worth it paying a monthly subscription. I should've been paid to spend my time watching this
Predictable from the Beginning
"Secret Obsession" is one of those thrillers with the plot predictable from the beginning. The title and the trailer are spoilers, the use of clichés is amazing, and the film is very disappointing despite the name of Dennis Haysbert in the cast. The drama is shallow, and the mystery is inexistant. The beautiful house and the landscapes in California are worthwhile watching. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Obsessão Secreta" ("Secret Obsession")
