We wished us an unforgettable and unique horror movie, and I got it exactly with the “obsession”

Only when you think you saw Each hypothesis can be imagined For a horror movie, someone comes with a very simple person, very ideal, committed, you cannot believe that it has not been done Million times before. with maniaThe writer and director Carrie Parker tells the story of Bear, a young man Madly in love With his dear friend and workshop Nikki. Bear wants Nikki how to feel, but he cannot mobilize courage. Therefore, when a gag is on the gap of a promise to give you one desire, it cannot hurt it. But oh, how wrong it is.

Using KNICK-Knack called “One Wish Willow”, Bear (Michael Johnston) wants to love him Nikki (Inde Navarrette) more than anything in the world, and is achieved magicly. Almost immediately, things become embarrassing. From nothing, Nikki begins to act incredibly strangely, just as there were two people fighting inside. Birm is fine with her, because she is finally in it. Soon, things begin to escalate, escalate and escalate. Their reactions are funny, then creeping, then violence, then truly Creeping, then truly Violence, then really truly… get the idea. For the entire film, Parker keeps us on the fingers we presented by constantly changing the level of intensity. Each scene changes violently from one to another, but, thanks to great shows from Johnston and Navarrette, the movie never feels embarrassed. Everything fits her smoothly.

Both threads are incredible in the movie. Johnston begins as a great man, a nice man who lacks confidence-initivity, he appears to be well with his desire. But with increasing things, more embarrassing, terrifying, we see him struggling with how much he is ready to pay this, and how much he is ready to tolerate. The movie wants you at the same time to love it and hate the bear, and root it to reach his dreams, but it is advised to do what he did to his friend, and with every scene, Johnston transmits all of this in his being. Then there is navarrette, which, as Nikki, is not less than amazing. She got a huge scale that she plays in this role, of course, but she is always captivated, terrifying and madly loved. It is a similar balance of the movie lens on Bir himself: You know the reason for his love a lot, but he is increasingly panicked for what is happening because she puts her body through Ranger and returns again.

Although Parker could maintain this story as the only focus, Bear and Niki are the best friends, Ian (Cooper Tomlinson) and Sarah (Megan Al -Halim), they offer a perspective that affects the need in all of this. Just like a real relationship, and sometimes when you are within one, you really don’t know how anyone else seems to be. Ian and Sarah quickly discovered that something is very mistaken in the relationship of Bear and Nikki, and that this view provides more transformations and turns.

There is even a line across a line about the traditions of such a mysterious ruling called “Wish One Willow”, which we would like to see more exploring. But this may happen if we visit this world again. Since the idea that the “single -wishes” is present in the real world, ready to raise the life of a person, it is mature, if not more than that, from the story that we see reveals.

But the real brilliance of mania– Do not make mistakes, it’s wonderful – it is its simplicity. Bear wished Nikki to love him more than anything in the world. anythingThis means more than herself. More than her friends. More than, anything, the film pushes those limits and plays with the idea to an incredible effect. Never go beyond the top, but it also does not allow you to forget the limits of these words.

Sometimes while maniaI was loud loudly. At other times, I felt terrifying legally. There were a lot of moments along the road full of shock and disgust. It contains everything you want in a horror movie. The fact that it provides such a new and unique rotation on the idea of ​​desires or love makes it better.
