The U.S. has gone wild for Obsession<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Writer\/director Curry Barker’s twisted horror movie<\/a> about a wish gone wrong is not only a box office hit, but also the highest-grossing Focus Features release of all time. Audiences have screamed, critics have raved \u2014\u00a0especially over the impeccable performance of leading lady Inde Navarrette<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While the film centers on an aimless young man called Bear (Michael Johnston), it’s Navarrette’s cursed girl Nikki who’s become the internet’s obsession. When Bear wishes for his crush to love him more than anyone else, Nikki becomes a horrifically distorted version of herself, who lives only for his attention. <\/p>\n

Today, Obsession <\/em>comes to digital, and with it comes a featurette clip, in which the film’s cast looks back on how Navarrette brought this harrowing portrait of being trapped by male desire to such vivid life. <\/p>\n

As seen above, Johnston and fellow castmates Cooper Tomlinson and Megan Lawless share what it was like to be on set as Navarrette created Nikki. For her part, the heralded actress credits Barker with helping her work on finding the physicality for Nikki and her “uncanny valley” look. And he marvels that this scream queen was new to letting loose with a good yell. <\/p>\n
