'Obsession' Stars Michael Johnston & Inde Navarrette Talk Queer Horror Breakout

This is the Queerty Interview, where we bring you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, activism, and beyond. Cameron Scheetz, Entertainment Editor at Queerty, hosts this episode featuring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, the queer stars of Obsession, one of the buzziest horror movies of the year.The theatrical debut from YouTube sensation filmmaker Curry Barker, Obsession begins with a classic “be careful what you wish for” premise before spiraling into increasingly terrifying territory. Michael Johnston stars as Bear, an aimless young man who is tired of being friend-zoned by his longtime crush Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette. After using a mysterious gift shop tchotchke to wish that Nikki would love him more than anyone else in the world, things quickly take a horrifying turn.With Obsession now in theaters, Michael and Inde join Queerty to talk about the strangest things they had to do on set to bring the movie’s scares to life, why horror fans are connecting with the film, and the relationship lessons they hope queer audiences take away from the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
