News Summary

• The horror genre has a talented new storyteller with Curry Barker in his sophomore feature Obsession.
• In the film, Bear (Michael Johnston) makes a wish on a cheap novelty toy, a One Wish Willow.
• Navarrette does her job like a pro, delivering a chilling performance as a possessed lovesick young woman.
• My only gripe is that there are only two kill scenes, and they are wildly disproportionate..
• One character is given enough blood and gore to nearly warrant an NC-17 rating, while the other character’s death felt like a lazy afterthought played for laughs.
• OK, I have two gripes — Andy Richter is in the movie for all of two minutes as the characters’ boss, and he has maybe one line.
• Seems like a waste of a comedic legend.
