Uncover whether Curry Barker’s Obsession is worth the buzz and a trip to the theater with our reaction & review. Michael Johnston leads the film as Bear, a hopeless romantic who uses a supernatural “One Wish Willow” to win his crush’s heart, only to wind up trapped in a violent nightmare when her affection turns into a sinister fixation.
Does this Blumhouse supernatural horror deliver the dark comedy, perfectly timed scares, and unsettling twists horror fans want? What rating did it score? Plus, is *Obsession* worthy of awards attention and strong enough to stand out as 2026’s biggest breakout horror movie? Critics have broadly praised its tense atmosphere and shocks, with Rotten Tomatoes calling it a wicked twist on the monkey-paw story elevated by nuanced performances and terrifying subversions.
Entertainment expert Steve Lawson breaks it down in 10 minutes or less on “Popcorn & Root Beer (S2 E17).”
