After a triumphant theatrical run amassing over $370 million globally, the horror sensation “Obsession” by debut director Curry Barker is now available for digital purchase or rental. Released on a shoestring budget of less than $1 million, the film captivated audiences with its chilling narrative and is now accessible on major platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV. As of now, the film is not part of any streaming subscription package, but a future streaming release is anticipated to be announced.
In addition to the film itself, the digital release offers fans a deeper dive into its creation with bonus materials, including behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from director Curry Barker. For those who prefer physical media, the movie is set to be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on July 14. Furthermore, a streaming debut on Peacock is expected, although details on this are yet to be confirmed.
“Obsession,” both penned and directed by Barker, explores the dark twists of a young man’s quest for romance, driven by a mystical artifact known as the One Wish Willow. The film has been lauded for its psychological horror elements, deftly weaving themes of obsession, consent, and interpersonal relationships into its narrative, earning critical and audience acclaim alike.
The film’s success is particularly noteworthy given the modest budget on which it was produced, highlighting Barker’s prowess in creating a compelling and visually stunning cinematic experience. As audiences await the broader streaming release, the digital option provides an opportunity for those who missed its theatrical run to experience the film’s haunting storytelling.
