Why it’s HorroRated
Obsession is Curry Barker turning a be-careful-what-you-wish-for premise into something genuinely upsetting. It opens like a shy-guy romance, then curdles once the wish comes true, and it never lets Bear off the hook for wanting it. Inde Navarrette gives a ferocious, physical breakout performance as Nikki. Made for under a million dollars, it's the debut of a major horror voice.
Synopsis
Bear (Michael Johnston), a shy music-store clerk, is in love with his coworker Nikki (Inde Navarrette). When he breaks a novelty charm called a One Wish Willow and wishes she would love him, it works, and Nikki's devotion becomes something that frightens him. Curry Barker, best known for the YouTube sketch channel "that's a bad idea," wrote and directed this first feature, with Cooper Tomlinson and Andy Richter in support.
