The new film Obsession, directed by Curry Barker, arrives full of expectations and already promises to stir the public’s psyche by mixing romance, suspense and horror in an unconventional way.
Already plot, we follow Bear, a romantic young man who works in a record store and harbors a silent crush on her best friend, Nikki. Everything changes when he finds a mysterious object capable of granting wishes. By using it to win the girl’s heart, he finally gets what he always wanted, but he soon discovers that fulfilling desires can have a high and frightening price.
O which starts off as a romantic comedy of sorts quickly turns into a dark journeywhere love gives way to obsession and control completely escapes the protagonist’s hands.
One of the highlights of the trailer is precisely the narrative turn. The story starts off light, almost innocent, but delves into intense psychological horror, exploring the consequences of choices and the most disturbing side of human feelings.
Among the curiosities, the film already has an impressive track record: it was shown at important festivals such as the Toronto Film Festival and Sitges, where it won over the public and critics. Furthermore, accumulates high approval on specialized websites, reinforcing the hype surrounding the launch.
Another interesting point is that the film plays with a classic horror idea, the famous “be careful what you wish for”, but updates this concept with a more emotional and psychological approach, focused on obsession and human relationships.
With a cast led by Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, Obsession is not just another scare film: it is an unsettling experience that provokes, disconcerts and sticks in your head long after the final credits.
It opens on May 21st in theaters.
