Overview
- Reviews published this week by Argentina’s La Nacion and Clarin rate the film highly and highlight its tight craft and nerve-jangling tension.
- Obsesión follows Bear, a shy music-shop worker who uses a “One Wish Willow” trinket to make his longtime crush love him, only to trigger a wish-gone-wrong nightmare.
- Publimetro Mexico reports a May 21 theatrical opening in that country and features cast and director interviews on the film’s balance of uneasy humor and psychological horror.
- La Nacion lists a 108-minute running time and an adults-only rating, while Clarin notes screenings in Buenos Aires venues including Cinemark Abasto and Cinépolis Recoleta.
- Coverage frames the project as Barker’s step up from viral microbudget work, with a reported production cost near $800,000 and influences that nod to the Monkey’s Paw premise.
