Friday wrap: Obsession, Cape Fear reboot
About this episode
Film critics Corey Atad, Kaiya Shunyata, and Hanna Flint join the Group Chat to talk about the remarkable success of the low-budget horror movie ‘Obsession’ (which recently became the first film since E.T. to see its box office numbers rise week-over-week in its first three weeks), and how a new generation of YouTube-reared filmmakers are changing the Hollywood game. The panel will also discuss Apple TV+’s new reboot of the classic thriller ‘Cape Fear’ and the Carney government’s recent directive to have Canada’s broadcast regulator revisit a plan that would force US streaming services to invest 15 per cent of its Canadian revenues in Canadian film and TV production.
