Obsession Turns a Wish Into a Nightmarish Crush

Obsession, Curry Barker’s horror film, reinvents The Monkey’s Paw with a stylish blend of dread, jump scares and dark comedy. Bear’s failed crush on Nikki leads to using a one‑wish relic that makes her fall in love—with terrifying, possessive consequences, driven by Inde Navarrette’s electrifying performance as Nikki. The movie, Barker’s breakout as director-writer, delivers shocking twists and slow-building suspense ahead of a May 15 release, backed by Blumhouse and Capstone.
