Everyone knows what this means but nobody knows what it's from.

Is that a movie or something?

I never watched more than a few episodes of Frasier, but I remember a commercial for an episode of it - one I unsuccessfully tried to find online just now. I shall paraphrase:

Niles(?): "What perfume is that?"

Unknown woman: "It's 'Obsession.'"

Niles: "No, it's not, I was just curious, really."

I hope you have enjoyed this flawed reenactment.

I think the movie is obsession

I know what it's from and I can't stop thinking about it.

I still haven't seen the movie, but I've seen a synopsis of the movie.

I am so disappointed.

But I'm hopeful.

Because what I really want to see is part two of this movie where a random group of like a hundred people get one and they know it will grant one wish and what wishes they make and what the consequences of a hundred random people across the world having a single wish granted all at the same time or within like the same few weeks.

Mothers grieving over their dead children who wished to be able to fly, but never thought about landing.

Competition from 10 or 15 people who wish to be the richest person in the world one after the other and having their wish granted only to be killed a day later by the next person who wishes to be the richest person in the world and having all of their riches transferred to that person.

People wishing for magic and being haunted by demons.

People wishing that their lost loved ones would come back to life and having the undead rise.

There is so much potential in this concept if I just hope somebody has the balls to actually reach out and go for it because it would be such a good movie.

You’re looking for Bruce Almighty.

But as a thriller slash horror movie, not as a comedy.

I still haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve seen a synopsis of the movie.

So, I feel like they leaned a bit hard on jump-scares to deliver the horror element. But the Wishing Willow is really just a vehicle for the plot, it's not important to the plot. The story is about male loneliness and youthful impatience and not being able to see past your own unhappiness to recognize the importance of other people.

And it's also about Inde Navarrette hitting it out of the fucking park with her acting.

Don't get hung up on the magical realism of the MacGuffin that kicks off the movie's 2nd Act. If you enjoy a good popcorn horror/thriller and don't mind liberal use of gross-out material, it's a stellar film.

Adding to this: the lighting work was fantastic. Lots of darkness and silhouettes really added to the creepiness.
