“I would choose you over everything…”

OBSESSION releases in theaters on May 15th 2026. The supernatural horror film stars Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson and Megan Lawless. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-eight minutes.

Bear has been in love with his friend, Nikki for years, but has never found the courage to tell her how he truly feels about her. After purchasing a mysterious “One Wish Willow,” he makes a wish for her to love him more than anyone in the world. To his surprise, the wish comes true, but it comes with devastating consequences.

Here is the trailer:

OBSESSION is a terrifying watch that transcends past the supernatural with its fresh take on infatuation, lingering with the viewer after the credits roll. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Inde Navarrette gives an unhinged performance worth talking about.

I wasn’t too familiar with her before this film, but wow is she on my radar now. She went all out with this portrayal in such a chilling way. I’d rank her right up there with Mia Goth in Pearl and Naomi Scott in Smile 2. She was that good!

There were so many tense moments in this and others that broke me emotionally. Navarrette never skipped a beat. She poured every ounce of crazy into the character of Nikki and it worked brilliantly.

A new take on the infatuation/obsession genre.

It’s already one of my favorite genres, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how unique this entry was. It still fit nicely into the infatuation/thriller genre, but it also took a stab at some other themes without hitting the audience over the head with its message.

The raw and unfiltered moments were so well done. There can be so much said about this movie and I think it tackled loneliness, heartbreak, and the need for acceptance in such a thought-provoking way while still managing to cause goosebumps to appear on my flesh every single time Nikki appeared on screen.

The ending was also exceptionally well done. It refused to sugarcoat things and really left me in such a state after I walked out of the theater. That’s when I know I’ve just witnessed something truly brilliant.

The Cons:

I don’t have many…

While it may not be for everyone, this film checked off a lot of boxes for me. My only con would be that it was emotionally upsetting at times and maybe the lore could have been explained a little bit more.

I also felt like I needed to be in the right state of mind to watch this. I’m not sure that I would watch this one multiple times because it had such a profound impact on me with my initial viewing.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

(5/5 stars)

OBSESSION is a tense and disturbing film that flips the infatuation genre upside down with its fresh and unhinged take.

Inde Navarrette is definitely a Scream Queen after that chilling performance!
