Michael Johnston plays a guy who has a crush on a co-worker (Inde Navarrette). He ends up making a “magical” wish that she’s completely devoted to him. Her almost instant love devolves into an uncontrolled obsession…until it turns bloody and bad. This is one of those psychological dramas that’s more about dread and anticipation than real scares. The actors are committed to their roles and writer/director Curry Baker maintains some small sense of anxiety, but there’s only one pay-off scene that makes an impression. Otherwise, it’s a slightly-disturbing, slow-burn film with too much talk. It’s more about atmosphere than real tension. 2.0 out of 5.0 stars
