Our take

In this restricted horror, a young man uses a supernatural trinket to make his crush love him, and the spell turns possessive and deadly. Sustained bloody violence includes a face-smashing set piece, along with on-screen sex, brief graphic nudity, pervasive strong language, and suicide and self-harm scenes tied to the curse. Magical coercion is framed as a cautionary lesson, though the tone stays disturbing. Best reserved for mature horror fans who already handle MA 15+ psychological thrillers.

Uplifting themes

The wish-gone-wrong arc warns that forcing love can destroy both people involved

Story (may spoil tone)

After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.

  • Nikki's behavior escalates from flirtation to violence. Where could Bear have drawn a boundary before things turned lethal?
