Curry Barker's horror film OBSESSION has achieved remarkable success, surpassing $370 million globally following its theatrical run. This box office triumph is particularly notable given the film's modest production budget of $750,000, a stark contrast to typical Hollywood expenditures.
Initially known for his YouTube comedy skits, Barker transitioned to directing with OBSESSION, assembling a fitting cast for his vision. The film, which was released on May 15, has garnered a 94% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, a significant achievement for any film, especially one made with limited resources.
Following its successful cinema engagement, OBSESSION is set to premiere on Peacock on July 17. This move brings the highly-rated horror movie to a streaming platform for broader viewership. Meanwhile, Barker is actively engaged in future projects, including a supernatural horror film for Blumhouse titled Anything but Ghosts, slated for 2027, and a new installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
