First-time director Curry Barker’s horror sensation, “Obsession,” has launched on digital platforms after an impressive theatrical performance, amassing over $370 million globally. Remarkably, the film achieved this success with a production budget of less than $1 million, marking a significant achievement for the debut filmmaker.
Audiences can now purchase or rent “Obsession” through major digital services like Prime Video and Apple TV. However, it is not part of any subscription streaming packages yet, requiring viewers to make a separate transaction to access the film. Details about its inclusion in a subscription-based service are anticipated in the near future.
The digital release comes with a suite of bonus content, including behind-the-scenes footage and director commentary, offering fans deeper insights into the making of the film. A physical release is slated for July 14, available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD. Additionally, a streaming debut on Peacock is on the horizon, expanding the film’s accessibility to a broader audience.
“Obsession,” crafted by Barker as both writer and director, centers on a young man’s wish for romance that spirals into darkness after encountering a mystical artifact known as the One Wish Willow. The film has garnered significant attention for its intricate psychological horror narrative, deftly touching upon themes of obsession, consent, and complex relationship dynamics.
