New Trailer for 'Obsession' Teases a Twisted Supernatural Love Story

Obsession Trailer Revealed: Adam Scott Stars in Focus Features’ Supernatural Horror

A haunting new horror film is on the horizon. Focus Features has officially released the new Obsession trailer, a dark supernatural thriller directed by Damian McCarthy, the filmmaker behind the eerie cult favorite Caveat.

The film stars Adam Scott and promises a deeply unsettling story centered on the dangerous power of desire and the terrifying consequences that follow when love begins to blur into obsession.

A Love Story That Turns Sinister

Obsession follows a lonely music store employee who stumbles upon a mysterious artifact known as the “One Wish Willow.” Desperate to win the affection of the woman he has long admired, he uses the strange object to wish that she will finally fall in love with him.

But as the trailer suggests, manipulating fate comes with consequences. What begins as a seemingly harmless wish soon spirals into something darker, as reality itself begins to twist and distort around the characters. The deeper the wish takes hold, the more terrifying the cost appears to become.

McCarthy’s signature slow-burn style seems to be front and center here, leaning into creeping dread and psychological tension rather than relying solely on jump scares.
