Be careful what you wish for

Supernatural horror continues to solidify as the film genre of the moment as Curry Barker’s ‘Obsession’ hits it big at the box office.

Written, directed and edited by the filmmaker (26) known for the YouTube sketch comedy ‘that’s a bad idea’, ‘Obsession’ plays like an extended episode of ‘Black Mirror’ in the wake of films such as ‘Weapons’ and ‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’.

At the centre of the film are music store co-workers, Bear and Nikki, played by Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette. Bear (a nice guy), likes Nikki, (the cool girl next door), but is unsure if his feelings are reciprocated. However, he is slowly working up to telling Nikki how he feels.
