Released into theaters on May 15, 2026, Curry Barker’s “Obsession” is a hit horror movie. The film focuses on the main character, Bear, who has a crush on his friend and coworker, Nikki. When Nikki mentions she lost her crystal necklace, Bear takes it upon himself to purchase a replacement, hoping to finally win over her heart. At the shop, Bear finds this silly little scam toy by the name of “One Wish Willow.” Assuming it is fake, Bear wishes for Nikki to love him more than anyone else in the world. Later he would realize this was the worst decision of his life.
The movie itself was incredible. The acting, the twist and the plot were phenomenal. At first, it was clear that the actors and actresses chosen for this film are new and more coming-of-age. However, that does not mean much of anything because they really took it to the top. The main characters were portrayed with an insanely high skill level. The actress playing Nikki really outdid herself as well, giving her all for the character.
This film is described under the “supernatural horror” genre, and it really is fitting. The whole idea of the One Wish Willow is that it is a supernatural essence granting the wishes, and one wrong word in the original wish can mess everything up. The jumpscares, though some were expected at the moment, were definitely good. They were timed just right to where you knew it would happen but not when, or you would think it was going to happen and it did not. It was very interesting to see in a movie. The whole plot in general was fantastic and this movie is a 10/10 watch, certainly recommended to see.
