Obsession is a movie that would give you chills down your spine. It explored the darker side of what obsession is. It's also the kind of movie that would make you feel different kinds of emotions.
So this movie is about a guy named Bear. He is too timid and shy to tell his crush, Nikki about his feelings for her. I kept wondering why it was so hard for him to confess his feelings to her. He has known Nikki for a long time.

Bear got chances to tell Nikki about his feelings but he chose not to and that got on my nerves. I mean, how timid can a man be?
Bear got a one wish willow. I honestly don't know what on earth he was thinking when he did but that was the beginning of chaos.
The night he got it, he drove Nikki to her house, and once again, Nikki gave him a clear opportunity to tell her if he had any feelings for her. Bear refused to tell her. I was so mad at him in that moment.
Next thing, bear brought out the one wish willow, made a wish and then broke it. He wished Perhaps, he didn't believe it would change anything, but on the contrary, it changed everything.
Bear had wished that Nikki would fall very much in love with him, and his wish came true. Nikki became so obsessed with Bear. It was as if she was possessed. Of course, it all resulted in a tragic turn of events.
One thing I love about this movie is that it's so simple, yet so good. This movie was made with a low budget but it did wonders.
The actors did a fantastic job in their roles. One person who stood out for me was Inde Navarrette who played Nikki. Her performance was absolutely incredible. She played the role of a possessed girlfriend perfectly. One thing that baffled me was how she managed to carry out some movements in the movie. The way she walked sometimes was just fascinating.
Her facial expression was everything. There was a scene where Bear asked her a question while they were in a restaurant and suddenly, her face changed and she snapped. The thing about Nikki is that she had episodes. One moment she's so weird and saying strange things. They next moment, she's calm.
Sometimes she would act as if she was crying for help. Next thing, she's acting okay. It gave the impression that maybe the real Nikki was trapped inside, while a whole different kind of person took over.
Obsessive Nikki didn't want to leave bear alone. She wanted to be with him every single moment.

Things go so bad that Bear lost both his friends, Sarah and Ian because of this obsession. Bear tried to undo the spell or whatever it was that made Nikki act that way, but he realized that there was no way out it this. The only way out was if one person died.
The end of this movie was a sad one because even Bear lost his life. Nikki got back to her normal self, but then, lives had already been lost.
This is a movie that would have you interested from the beginning until the end. It's totally worth it.
