‘Obsession’ Gets a One Wish Willow Popcorn Bucket

Published

on

Your wish for an Obsession popcorn bucket has been granted — but unexpected snacking may occur.

Based on the One Wish Willow novelty toy at the center of the film, the popcorn bucket is available at select theaters.

From writer-director Curry Barker (Milk & Serial), Obsession opens on May 15 via Focus Features.

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 of Teashop Productions, Haley Nicole Johnson of Under the Shell, Christian Mercuri of Capstone Pictures, and Roman Viaris produce. Executive producers include Jason Blum of Blumhouse, Leonora Darby & Mark Lane of Teacup, and David Haring & Ruzanna Kegeyan of Capstone.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of TIFF, “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.”

Obsession is rated R for “strong bloody violence, grisly images, sexual content, pervasive language, and brief graphic nudity.”

Barker recently wrapped production on his next film, Anything But Ghosts, and he’s currently developing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot for A24.
