Sharp Corner: How One Obsession Turns a Quiet Home Into a Nightmare

Sharp Corner is a gripping psychological thriller that dives deep into the fragile human mind when obsession replaces reason. The film tells the story of Josh, a devoted family man whose life takes a dark turn after witnessing repeated fatal car accidents on the sharp curve right outside his home.

What begins as concern quickly escalates into fixation. Josh becomes consumed by the idea that he must save every victim, believing that being in the “right place at the right time” can change fate itself. As the accidents continue, his obsession grows more dangerous, pulling him into a psychological spiral that threatens his marriage, his career, and the safety of his young son.

Directed and written by Jason Buxton, Sharp Corner blends intense drama with slow-burning suspense, presenting a disturbing yet emotionally charged portrait of guilt, control, and the human desire to find meaning in tragedy. Ben Foster delivers a powerful performance as Josh, supported by Cobie Smulders as his increasingly concerned wife, Rachel.

The film’s tension doesn’t rely solely on action, but on atmosphere, performance, and the unsettling question: What happens when the desire to save lives becomes an addiction?

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers that explore the darker corners of the human psyche, Sharp Corner offers a compelling cinematic experience best enjoyed on the big screen.
