ブラムハウスの新作ホラー映画に観客が悲鳴を上げる

劇場に悲鳴が戻ってくる。

カリー・バーカー監督によるブラムハウスの最新ホラー映画は、「望むものには気をつけろ」という古典的な警告をひっくり返したものだ。この映画は、密かにニッキー(インデ・ナヴァレット)を愛し、チャンスを掴むことを決心したベア(マイケル・ジョンストン)を中心に展開します。彼は、ニッキーが自分に夢中になることを期待して「One Wish Willow」を購入しました。そして、驚くべきことに、それはうまくいきましたが、彼の期待とは異なりました。ニッキの感情は激しく情熱的になり、ベアはすぐに圧倒されてしまいます。

ScreenRantのアッシュ・クロッサンは、この映画の監督と主演のジョンストンとナヴァレットにインタビューし、この映画が他のホラー映画と比べてなぜそれほど恐ろしくユニークなのかについて語った。

強迫観念に観客は悲鳴を上げ、席から飛び上がる

この映画の最初の上映では観客を本当に怖がらせ、最も恐ろしく生々しい部分では人々が悲鳴を上げたり飛び跳ねたりし、監督のナヴァレットでさえ目を覆ったことを認めた。バーカー監督はこの反応に興奮しており、 映画終了後に観客が拍手しているのを目撃したとスクリーンラントも報告している。

インデ・ナバレッタ: 大人の男性がジャンプしているのを見たとき。

カリー・バーカー: そうだね。

インデ・ナバレッタ: 叫んだとき。

カリー・バーカー: それか、最後に拍手をしたとき。

マイケル・ジョンストン: そうそう、拍手だ。

ジョンストン氏はまた、視聴者を本当に引き込むこの映画のビジュアル スタイルについても指摘し、執着は大画面で体験するのが最適であると強調しました。

正直に言うと、この映画をポップコーンのある適切な映画館で見るのをとても楽しみにしています。実際にポップコーンを食べた上映会に行ったのは久しぶりですが、今回は違うことを願っています。大きなバケツで楽しみたいですね!

でも、飛びそうな予感がします。これはぜひ劇場で見るべき映画です。

ジョンストンによれば、観客の反応があまりにも激しいため、映画自体を聞くのが難しいことも多いという。 スーパーマン& ロイスにも出演しているナバレッタは、映画の最も恐ろしいシーンを顔の表情、特に目を通して表現することに重点を置いたと説明しました。

You know, one of the first things we really focused on was the smile – but not just any smile. We tried a bunch of variations, and eventually landed on one where the eyes were wide open. I really wanted the audience to see what was happening in those eyes, because, cliché as it sounds, they really are the windows to the soul. It’s unsettling to see a smile combined with something…off, like paint, and that discomfort was intentional. We had a lot of freedom to experiment, which was great. But seeing it all come together – the smile, the music, the building tension, and knowing what happened before – that was something else. I saw it for the first time at TIFF, and honestly, it completely floored me. It was a truly gut-wrenching experience.

What Sets Obsession Apart From Other Horror Films

What makes Obsession stand out from other horror movies—and even within the large collection of Blumhouse films—is its originality. Director Curry drew inspiration not from specific films like The Invisible Man or The Twilight Zone, but from the creative approaches of their filmmakers to craft Obsession‘s terrifying narrative.

I didn’t start with a specific movie and think, ‘What if this were horror?’ There wasn’t really one, at least not that I can recall. I was more inspired by filmmakers I admire and films like ‘The Invisible Man.’ While ‘The Invisible Man’ isn’t related to the plot of my movie, it explores similar themes of relationships, and that’s what resonated with me.

The film is rooted in its narrative and the emotions it hopes to evoke, which is what initially drew scary movie enthusiast Johnston to the project.

Michael Johnston is a fan of horror films, so he was thrilled when he received the script. He especially appreciated that it wasn’t a standard scary movie. During his meeting with Curry, they quickly realized they shared a vision for a realistic and emotionally impactful film, and were aligned on the qualities they admired in their favorite movies. They immediately saw eye-to-eye.

Everything Else The Obsession Cast & Director Said About The Film

ScreenRant: I’m sure everyone’s asked you guys if you would use the One Wish Willow.

Curry Barker: Would I use it?

Inde Navarrette: Actually, we haven’t been asked that.

Michael Johnston is wondering if they would actually use it, not just want to. He’s asking what they would do if they genuinely had access to it.

Inde Navarrette: Yeah, I would use it.

ScreenRant: I would too.

Curry Barker: It’s pretty dope. Not going to lie.

Michael Johnston: I’d have to be really careful.

Curry Barker: I would have it in my room for like a year.

Michael Johnston: Exactly.

Curry Barker: And contemplate or calculate, “How am I going to say this? What am I going to do?”

ScreenRant pointed out that when making a wish, it’s important to be very specific and consider potential negative consequences. For example, wishing for a large sum of money like a billion dollars could come from a dangerous or unethical source.

Michael Johnston: If you have to launder it, what if it’s blood money?

ScreenRant: From a mob or something.

Curry Barker: Where’s that money coming from?

Inde Navarrette is pointing out that the source of something is unknown and there’s no documented history to trace it back to. They’re saying it’s originating from an unclear place.

Michael Johnston explained that the difficulty lies in actually using it, as purchases will inevitably draw attention and raise questions.

Curry Barker: The government immediately would be like, “Where’d you get that income?”

Inde Navarrette: We can learn how to money launder. I don’t think it’s that hard.

ScreenRant suggests a scenario where one person wishes for money, while another wishes for the knowledge of how to hide the source of that money, implying they would work together to do so.

Inde Navarrette: We’ll open a mattress store.

Curry Barker: Wish for $2 billion. I’ll wish for laundering.
