‘Obsession’ Review: Inde Navarrette Solidifies Scream Queen Status In Curry Barker’s Horror Directorial Breakout

The horror genre has a talented new storyteller with Curry Barker in his sophomore feature Obsession, as well as scream queen in the making with star Inde Navarrette.

In the film from writer and director Barker, Bear (Michael Johnston) makes a wish on a cheap novelty toy, a One Wish Willow, that his longtime friend Nikki (Navarrette) will love him more than anything else in the world. The wish is granted immediately, with sinister and gory consequences ensuing.

It’s ultimately a movie about consent and the importance of communication in dating and relationships. This whole bloody affair could have been avoided if Bear could have worked up the nerve to tell his friend how he feels.
