*This review was filmed originally back in May!*
Obsession is one of the year’s most talked about and most beloved and debated films from all accounts and serves as the debut of a former comtent creator turned first time filmmaker Curry Barker, but with rave reviews from festivals, a newcoming director and a cast of known actors who are rising talents along with an interesting but scary premise, how is the final product? Let’s discuss it all here in this long overdue review for Obsession as EpicJoshua’s Joshua Drake Randall talks about the good and bad of this future horror classic that’s making a big Hollywood story since it’s release.

Bear (Michael Johnston), a hopeless retail worker who uses a mysterious novelty item called a "One Wish Willow" to wish that his coworker Nikki (Inde Navarrette) would love him more than anyone else in the world.
