A teaser poster for Obsession has arrived ahead of tomorrow’s trailer debut.
The simple artwork defines obsession as “a relentless attachment to an idea, feeling, or emotion; often paired with mental strain and physical unease.”
Written and directed by Curry Barker (Milk & Serial), the buzzy horror film opens in theaters May 15 via Focus Features and Blumhouse.
In the movie, after breaking the mysterious One Wish Willow to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
Michael Johnston (“Teen Wolf”), Inde Navarrette (“Superman & Lois”), Cooper Tomlinson (Milk & Serial), Megan Lawless (“The Girl from Plainville”), and Andy Richter (“Conan”) star.
James Harris, Haley Nicole Johnson, Christian Mercuri, and Roman Viaris produce, with Jason Blum, Leonora Darby, Mark Lane, David Haring, and Ruzanna Kegeyan executive producing.
Obsession premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, followed by screenings at Fantastic Fest and Sitges, where it won the coveted People’s Choice Award.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of TIFF, “Obsession takes you on a wild ride. While Monkey’s Paw scenarios often yield predictable outcomes, and this outcome is practically telegraphed from the start, Barker manages to surprise with the journey itself. And it’s one insane journey paved with blood-soaked violence and no shortage of nightmare fuel.”
