Focus Features has premiered the full trailer for the highly acclaimed horror feature “Obsession” which first played at the Toronto film fest where it was named first runner-up for the People’s Choice Award: Midnight Madness. It marks the second film of actor turned filmmaker Curry Barker whose film “Milk & Serial” became a viral video sensation in 2024. This new film currently sits at a 97% in Rotten Tomatoes from 35 reviews.

James Harris, Haley Nicole Johnson, and Christian Mercuri produce. Focus acquired the rights in a $14 million deal.

One of my favorite authors talking about how awesome this film is, essentially because it does some old tropes to perfection and the acting and characters are great. Note, the reel as some broad spoilers.
