Curry Barker's New Horror Film Set Up at Blumhouse

Curry Barker, the filmmaker behind the blockbuster debut "Obsession," is developing a new original horror film. The project is set up with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Film Group, with Barker attached to write, direct, and produce. This collaboration stems from Barker's existing relationships with Blumhouse Atomic Monster, Spooky Pictures, and Divide/Conquer.

Barker's previous film, "Obsession," has achieved significant commercial success, becoming Focus Features' highest-grossing release of all time and is projected to exceed $300 million globally. His second film, "Anything But Ghosts," is currently in post-production with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Focus Features.

Both Barker and the studios expressed enthusiasm for the new partnership. Barker cited the dream environment for original storytelling at Universal and Blumhouse, while studio executives praised his ability to connect with audiences and redefine cinematic possibilities. The film will be distributed worldwide by Universal Film Group.
