Obsession (18)

— ,Cinemas
A car waits outside a small house as a woman stands in the doorway, at night.

A life dream becomes a worst nightmare when a boy wishes his best friend would love him more than anyone on earth, in this chilling relationship horror from newcomer Curry Barker. 

Working together in their friend's dad's music store, Bear (Michael Johnston) adores his colleague Nikki (Inde Navarrette) and wants nothing more than for her to love him back. After snapping a One-Wish-Willow, he can't believe his luck when Nikki falls madly in love with him.

What starts as a dream come true turns in to a literal nightmare, as the real Nikki is lost completely in the power of the wish, with only one way out...

From 26-year-old YouTuber and DIY filmmaker Curry Barker comes a genuinely terrifying new horror, posing questions around consent, romance and adoration.

A box office smash, Obsession stands as this century's highest-grossing original horror film. We're bringing it to our screens, for anyone brave enough to face it...
