Obsession Film's Darker Original Ending Revealed

The film Obsession's release saw some confusion regarding an unrated cut, which may have been a mislabeling. Writer and director Curry Barker's original vision for the film's ending was considerably darker than the final product shown. The initial script detailed a bleak conclusion where Nikki, after witnessing the deaths of Bear, Ian, and Sarah, would immediately commit suicide.

This drastically different ending was changed on the actual day of shooting. The revised ending allows Nikki to survive, facing arrest for a triple homicide, an event that will be acknowledged in Barker's future film, 'Anything But Ghosts.' It remains unclear if the original, darker ending was ever filmed, which could make it a candidate for a future director's cut, though the current ending is thought to be more effective.
