Intense ‘Obsession’ Clip Can’t Keep Nikki Out [Watch]

A new clip has been made available by DiscussingFilm for the hotly anticipated Obsession. Forget coffee. This is all the jolt you need to wake up this morning.

In it, star Michael Johnston finds himself locked in a bathroom while Nikki (Inde Navarrett) pounds on the door, screaming for him to let her in and wanting to know what he’s doing. The clip’s giving the clingy nightmare partner from hell, and has me more excited than ever to finally see the film later tonight.

In Curry Barker‘s film, after breaking the mysterious “One Wish Willow” to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic (Michael Johnston) finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.

Obsession features Inde Navarrett’s breakout role: “Her ghoulishness has all the makings of a newly minted horror icon. I’m not exaggerating when I say this performance is genuinely startling,” Josh raved about the film. “Think of Mikey Madison’s fireworks in Anora, then imagine she’s been bitten by a Deadite suffering from the world’s worst migraines. Her suffering is nearly as frightening as the suffering she enacts on the world around her. It’s a revelation.”

Dread’s Ashliene McMenamy wrote an excellent piece on why Navarrett should already be considered for award season. Based on that and the clip below, I’m already on board for Navarrett to win all of the awards.

The film has been Rated R for “strong bloody violence, grisly images, sexual content, pervasive language, and brief graphic nudity.”

Obsession is now ready to become your obsession in theaters via Focus Features.
