  Loved the performances; one scene I'll never forget; unsettling; didn't buy the ending.

  Creepy and lovely. There's a movie called Smile which shares some of its constituent elements to this movie in that the creepiness of it builds over time and then becomes unimaginably violent towards the end. This movie does that quite well and it is very effective at building its tension. So when the mind-numbing violence does happen, it Hogan impact and a significance. Smile sort of front loads all of that violence, which means that the tension doesn't have time to build and you have to rely on other things to make it scary. This movie is simply better at it. The main plot is just another learning opportunity when it comes to making wishes. Just don't. Having seen several movies on this theme, we ought to know this by now. The casting in this is great, the direction is amazing, and the scary elements are earned. It is a really good and scary movie.

  Curry Barker’s feature debut is a flawless, deeply unsettling masterpiece that takes the classic "be careful what you wish for" trope and turns it into a relentless nightmare. The film centers on a music store employee who uses a supernatural trinket to force his longtime crush to love him, unleashing a wave of horrifying, unhinged consequences. Visually striking and meticulously paced, the movie keeps you completely locked in from the opening frame to its devastating conclusion. What elevates this psychological horror film to absolute perfection are the phenomenal acting performances from Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette. Johnston is brilliant as Bear, capturing a desperate, tragic vulnerability that makes his downward spiral incredibly painful to watch. Navarrette delivers a tour de force performance as Nikki, flawlessly shifting between heartbreaking torment and a chilling, vacant fixation that anchors the entire film. It is an intense, unforgettable ride that stands out as one of the absolute best entries in modern horror.

  Obsession is an supernatural phychological horror film directed by Curry Barker, a youtuber turned filmmaker and what a crazy film he had made on a budget 1 million dollars. The concept itself is so interesting but terrifying at the same time that will make you think that why and how would Curry had come with such an idea. The film is so layered and deep in it's narrative that after watching the film every time you think about it, you will come across a new perspective and shade of every character. Technically the film is solid, may it be the sound design or the costumes or the prosthetics work or the set design which despite the minimal budget didn't look cheap. Performances of both the lead actors Michael Johnston & Inde Navarrette were exceptional, they nailed their roles. Michael does a great job as an observer, a guy who is terrified with what is going on around him, a guy trying to figure out but a subtle shade of selfishness in his character all along. And on the other side, there is Inde Navarrette, I don't think I have seen a better performance than her in any other film this year, the least the deserves is an Oscar nomination, she was freakin crazy as hell, you will be ab
