1987's "Obsession: A Taste for Fear" takes viewers into the future. The actual year isn't shared by the movie, but it's a tomorrow that offers video production, laser guns, go-kart-like cars, and, well, rotary phones. The details of this vision aren't exactly worked out by director Piccio Raffanini, but the helmer is absolutely committed to style, trying to transform this murder mystery into a highly visual picture that's loaded with lighting, color, and characters in various stages of undress. "Obsession: A Taste for Fear" lives up to its title, as so much of the screenplay is devoted to people who simply can't stop fixating on one another, and Raffanini is dedicated to selling the erotic possibilities of the endeavor. The film doesn't contain much suspense, lacking a tighter grip on tension as a killer is on the loose, best left for those solely interested in low-budget cinematic achievements sold with noticeable technical effort.
