What is Obsession about?
Directed by Curry Barker, Obsession follows Bear Bailey, a quiet music store employee who struggles to express his feelings for his confident coworker, Nikki.
His life takes a disturbing turn when he discovers a strange object called the One Wish Willow at a crystal shop. Despite a warning about its consequences, Bear breaks the willow and wishes for Nikki to love him more than anything in the world.
At first, his wish appears to come true. Nikki becomes devoted to him, giving Bear the attention he has always wanted. However, her affection soon becomes overwhelming, and her behavior grows increasingly disturbing and violent.
What begins as a fantasy romance turns into a nightmare as Bear realizes that his wish has come at a terrible cost.
