YouTuber turned feature filmmaker Curry Barker’s indie horror movie Obsession has been a surprise hit of the season. Not only has it surpassed box office expectations, raking in over $400 million globally, but it has also become the highest-grossing Focus Features film ever.
Leading lady Inde Navarrette’s performance as Nikki has been celebrated by audiences and critics alike (including Mashable’s own Kristy Puchko). Even horror icon Stephen King said he can’t stop thinking about the film’s blend of horror and humor.
If you missed out on the twisted flick in theaters, it’s officially available to watch at home this month. But you’ll have to hold off a little longer for its streaming debut. Here are all the details you need to know to watch Obsession.
What is Obsession about?
Obsession is a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” It follows lonely young man Bear (Michael Johnston) who’s crushing on obsesssing over his friend Nikki (Navarrette). He’s not very skilled in talking to women, let alone dating, so when he gets his hands on a “One Wish Willow” that promises to make his dream come true, he wishes for Nikki to love him more than anyone else. As you can imagine, things don’t go as planned.
