Ahead of its screening at SXSW in Austin, Texas, next month, a new still from Obsession has been released.
It features Michael Johnston (“Teen Wolf”) taking an phone call in a restaurant while Inde Navarrette (“Superman & Lois”) looks on in the background.
Written and directed by Curry Barker (Milk & Serial), the buzzy horror film will be released in theaters on 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.
Johnston and Navarrette star alongside Cooper Tomlinson (Milk & Serial), Megan Lawless (“The Girl from Plainville”), and Andy Richter (“Conan”).
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 earlier this year, followed by screenings at Fantastic Fest and Sitges, where it won the People’s Choice Award.
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.”
Barker’s next film, Anything But Ghosts, is set to be produced with Blumhouse and Spooky Pictures.
