About this event
Screening because we've got FOMO ... Bear (Michael Johnston) is a lovelorn man with an unrequited (or so he assumes) crush on Nikki (a sensational Inde Navarette). He gets his hands on the mysterious "One Wish Willow", and breaks it while wishing for Nikki to love him more than anyone else in the whole world. Bear gets exactly what he wishes for, but very soon finds out that some wishes come with a horrific cost... The first released of the Spring 2026 horror films made by directors who made their name on YouTube (the other being Kane Parsons' Backrooms ), Obsession was made for a $750k budget, before grossing over $200m worldwide within the first month of release. Talk about profitable! The film also stars director Curry Barker's long-time collaborator Cooper Tomlinson, both creators of the "that's a bad idea" sketch comedy YouTube channel.
