MONTREAL — Sweet Sinner and Mile High Media have announced the release of Jacky St. James' “The Obsession,” an erotic thriller that explores a young woman’s misguided obsession with her roommate and its unsettling results.
Set for a late summer release, "The Obsession" stars Abella Danger and Chanel Preston as the leads, as well as Adria Rae, Reena Sky, Michael Vegas, Logan Pierce and Jay Smooth.
In describing the film's inspiration, St. James said, “When I met with Mile High to discuss upcoming films, the idea for ‘Single White Female’ came up and I immediately jumped on the opportunity to do a film loosely inspired by the cult classic. Although the plot of ‘The Obsession’ is different — it does center around one woman's obsession with her roommate — it is the intensity between Chanel Preston and Abella Danger that creates something truly unique and magical.”
St. James continued, “While researching for this film, what was most important to me was really getting into the ‘stalker’ character's head. Motivation and intention are important. Villains typically don't look at themselves as villains. Their internal monologue isn't always riddled with judgment or self-criticism for their actions. I wanted Abella's character, Michele, to have that level of truth — and Abella absolutely brings that. She is one of the most underrated actresses in the business, in my opinion and is capable of more than one would expect (given her popularity in all-sex releases). She brought something that wasn't just on the page — and that's the testament of a true actor. It was one of the few times in adult where I've watched the first cut of the film and said, ‘Yes. This movie is exactly what I hoped it would be.’”
Mile High Media vice president Jon Blitt said, “This is a remarkable erotic thriller from Sweet Sinner and Jacky St. James. 'The Obsession’ will have viewers questioning their own notions of sexual desire when admiration turns to obsession. It’s a very gripping and sexy film that I expect to grab major award contention.”
