More About This Film
Obsession is a 2026 horror thriller directed and written by Curry Barker. The film centers on Bear, a young man who turns to a mysterious object called the “One Wish Willow” after struggling to express his feelings for his crush, Nikki. What initially seems like a simple supernatural shortcut to romance gradually becomes a disturbing exploration of desire, fixation, and the consequences of trying to control another person's feelings.
Blending supernatural horror with dark humor and psychological tension, the film takes a deliberately intimate approach to its central premise. Michael Johnston stars as Bear, while Inde Navarrette plays Nikki, whose increasingly unsettling behavior drives much of the film's tension. The production comes from Blumhouse, Focus Features, Capstone Studios, and Tea Shop Productions.
