In a remarkable feat for a debut filmmaker, Curry Barker’s horror sensation “Obsession” has transitioned to digital platforms following a resounding success in theaters. Garnering over $370 million globally, the film was produced on a modest budget of under $1 million, establishing it as a major hit in the horror genre.
Movie enthusiasts can now purchase or rent “Obsession” on digital platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV. However, it is not yet part of any streaming subscription service, requiring viewers to buy or rent the film for the time being. Fans anticipating its inclusion in a subscription service can look forward to an announcement about its streaming availability in the future.
The digital release of “Obsession” is enriched with bonus content, including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from director Curry Barker. For those who prefer physical media, a release on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD is scheduled for July 14. Moreover, a debut on the streaming service Peacock is also planned, although the date has yet to be confirmed.
Written and directed by Barker, “Obsession” delves into the unsettling story of a young man whose quest for love goes awry after encountering a mystical artifact, the One Wish Willow. The film has captured widespread attention for its psychological horror elements, tackling complex themes such as obsession, consent, and the intricacies of relationships.
