Curry Barker makes a significant mark on the horror thriller scene as writer, director and editor of the surprise hit Obsession (B). His YouTube sketch partner Cooper Tomlinson is a hoot as best bud of the nervy central protagonist, well played by Michael Johnston, but this is really Inde Navarrette’s movie when a supernatural wish prompts her character to become ferociously fixated on the anxiety-ridden hero. Barker has skillful control of pace and tone as he introduces a tight ensemble of characters working together at a music store and casually raises the stakes. It gets quite intense and doesn’t necessarily have a vision for how to end as Navarrette brilliantly chews the scenery through and through. Viewers will undoubtedly relate to the film’s themes if they’ve ever been in a possessive relationship. Darky almost devilishly lit, filled with propulsive paranoia and altogether agreeably atmospheric, the movie has a lived-in feeling and moves briskly. Like last year’s Together, it’s a good horror date movie memorable for its strange central duo.
