The trailers have been creepy; the news that director Curry Barker has some exciting new projects in the works, including a new <em>Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em> movie, has only heightened interest in this one. Today, Focus Features has shared a clip that\u2019s just over a minute long\u2014plenty of time to make us cringe in the best way possible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose video-container\"><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OBSESSION - &quot;Nice Date&quot; Official Clip\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/UWVznyWUS-E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>For context, Bear (Michael Johnston) has long had a crush on Nikki (Inde Navarrette). She\u2019s pretty, she\u2019s cool, and she is definitely someone he wants to spend more time with. He breaks out of the friend zone with the help of what he thinks is just a silly novelty toy, hoping Nikki will fall for him\u2014only to learn the powers of the \u201cOne Wish Willow\u201d are entirely real. Very quickly, the situation distorts his romantic dreams into something terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>This date, for instance: an onlooker might think Nikki\u2019s making a scene at dinner when Bear asks her a painful question\u2014except she seems almost possessed when she rises to respond. Her escalating reaction is not \u201cnormal upset\u201d; it\u2019s \u201cdark forces are controlling me\u201d upset, from the looks of it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll find out more about Bear and Nikki\u2019s (presumably doomed?) relationship when <em>Obsession<\/em> hits theaters May 15.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
