Obsession

Jodi, Lara and Philip review the independent horror sensation, Obsession, from writer/director Curry Barker. The film follows a group of four friends who work at a local music shop and meet up for weekly trivia nights. In a typical teenage (or in this case, early-twenties) fashion, the 2 girl/2 guy dynamic is far from devoid of romantic tension. And one of the guys, Bear, seeks the help of Ian when he is overcome by his feelings for Nikki. Ian is unable to provide much more than moral support, as Bear will need to take matters into his own hands if he stands a chance with Nikki. Bear buys a gift for Nikki to go along with his date proposal, but he eventually chickens out. His gift, a novelty item called a "One-wish Willow," promises to grant a single wish to the user who cracks it like a glowstick. This seven-dollar children's toy couldn't possibly be the key to winning Nikki's undying affection, could it?
