A Tale of Dark Desires
A Supernatural Descent into Obsession
The story centers around Bear Bailey, portrayed by Michael Johnston, a shy music store employee who secretly loves his coworker, Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette. Bear finds it difficult to reveal his feelings until he stumbles upon a mysterious artifact called the One Wish Willow at a local crystal shop. Ignoring the shopkeeper's warning about the potential repercussions, Bear wishes for Nikki to love him above all else.
This wish quickly comes to fruition, leading to a relationship that seems perfect at first. However, the film takes a dark turn as Nikki's affection spirals into a dangerous obsession. As her behavior grows increasingly erratic and violent, Bear must confront the consequences of his wish and seek a way to undo the supernatural forces at play before things spiral out of control.
From Indie Roots to Box Office Triumph
From Micro-Budget Roots to Global Success
The film's financial journey has been remarkable, especially considering its modest production budget of around $750,000. Reports suggest that 'Obsession' has achieved impressive global earnings, raking in over $522 million at the box office. This success has positioned the film as a notable achievement and garnered significant attention for director Curry Barker.
Barker's shift to feature films follows his success on digital platforms, where he gained fame with creative partner Cooper Tomlinson through their comedy sketches on YouTube and TikTok. His earlier micro-budget project, 'Milk & Serial', helped shape his directorial style leading up to 'Obsession'. The film runs for one hour and 49 minutes and features a talented cast including Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter.
