We are Obsessed with Obsessed, Are you? Listen to our latest episode of Horror Movie Talk as we break down the finer points of this indie horror darling.
Synopsis
Bear is a shy and awkward guy who you could say is “obsessed” with his coworker and long time friend Nikki. Unable to profess his love to her, he looks for a little help from the “one wish willow” which will grant any wish. Upon making his one wish things rapidly change in his relationship with Nikki where the obsession isn’t just one sided. But… he soon realizes that there are unforeseen consequences to having her love, as things take a turn for the worst.
Review or Obsession
This movie really had me torn on whether I liked it or not. Multiple times I thought “man I hate this movie”. That did improve during my viewing of the film and after but I did find that I was trying to convince myself that I liked it when the truth is it just wasn’t all that enjoyable for me
With that said, I did like the concept and respect what they were trying to do, and there were some strong scenes that stood out in a good way
some of the humor lands but overall it’s just an uncomfortable experience that can get repetitive and honestly isn’t scary
I do think it is worth a watch, there is some interesting social commentary but as a whole it would be a much better short film and frankly just isn’t worth all the hype.
Score
6/10
