💌 Be careful what you wish for.

🎬 This week on CineNerds we’re breaking down Obsession (2026), the breakout horror hit from writer-director Curry Barker. Bear, a lonely music store employee, uses a supernatural toy called the 'One Wish Willow' to make his childhood crush Nikki fall in love with him. His wish comes true... and then it gets terrifying.

We dig into the dark comedy, nightmare fuel, and the brutal question at the center of it all: is love real if you forced it?

With a 94-96% on Rotten Tomatoes, a $750K budget that grossed over $370M, and performances from Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, Obsession is already being called one of the best horror films of 2026.

Join us as we unpack toxic romance, Blumhouse-backed chaos, and why this YouTube-to-theater success is rewriting the rules.

☢️ Detention is hell. Radiation is worse.

🎬 Trashy Tuesday is going full Troma with Class of Nuke 'Em High, the 1986 cult classic where a nuclear waste leak turns high school into a mutant freakshow. Expect toxic love triangles, giant monsters, exploding heads, and zero budget + 100% attitude.

Join CineNerds as we break down why this gross, gory, glorious mess is peak Troma trash and somehow still a blast. Class dismissed. 🧪

🎬 This week on CineNerds we’re diving into The Backrooms, the viral internet creepypasta that became a full-blown feature film.

What started as a liminal-space photo and YouTube shorts has now hit the big screen with A24 backing and Kane Parsons directing. We break down the endless maze of yellow rooms, the entity sounds, and the dread that comes from fluorescent lights + nowhere to go. Is it pure atmosphere or does the movie actually deliver scares?

Join us as we explore the lore, the found-footage roots, and why Gen Z’s favorite horror ARG is finally getting the theatrical treatment. Don’t noclip into this one alone.

🎬 CineNerds steps into Hippopotomas, Edward A. Palmer’s micro-budget psychological thriller that proves you don’t need monsters to be terrifying. Shot in a single location, this claustrophobic indie uses mind games, manipulation, and raw tension to crawl under your skin.

Join us as we break down the shoestring filmmaking, the pressure-cooker performances, and why this horror gem punches way above its weight.
