‘Obsession’ trailer: A wish for love goes horrifyingly wrong
If you are planning to make birthday wishes or wish a star soon, the trailer of the upcoming horror film Obsession may make you reconsider your decision.
‘The Hawk’ Teaser: Will Ferrell Embraces His Inner Golf Champion
From Focus Features and writer/director Curry Barker, Obsession features Bear (Michael Johnston), a hopeless romantic who has a crush on his friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette). In order to ensure that she returns the favor, he breaks the mysterious “One Wish Willow”, wishing that Nikki would love him more than anything in the world. And boy, boy, does he get what he wants…and more.
ObsessionThe latest trailer shows that the “One Wish Willow” makes Nikki instantly fall in love with Bear. But what begins as cuddly affection quickly turns into something darker. If Bear was obsessed with Nikki before, she’s a hundred times more obsessed with him now. She becomes a horrible shell of herself, turning feral because of her magical love for Bear. (And is that blood all over her in the trailer hers, or someone else’s? Either way, we’re worried!)
According to the trailer, the magic of the “One Wish Willow” won’t wear off until the wisher dies, so it looks like Bear is stuck in the bed he made for the rest of his life. Hey, maybe next time, just ask your crush out instead of wishing for his eternal love and trapping you both in a horrible web of magic! Just a thought!
Obsession will be screened at SXSW. It hits theaters on May 15.
