Obsession, the horror film sensation directed by newcomer Curry Barker, has launched on digital platforms following an extraordinary theatrical run. The film, crafted on a modest budget of less than $1 million, managed to amass over $370 million globally, making it a standout success in the horror genre.
Audiences can now purchase or rent Obsession on digital services like Prime Video and Apple TV. However, it is not yet available as part of any regular streaming service subscriptions, requiring viewers to pay for access. The film’s release on subscription-based streaming platforms is anticipated in the future, though no specific date has been announced.
The digital release of Obsession is accompanied by exclusive bonus material, including behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from Barker himself. Physical copies of the film are set to hit the market on July 14, available in DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD formats. Additionally, a debut on the streaming service Peacock is also expected at a later date.
Obsession, both written and directed by Barker, tells the story of a young man whose quest for love spirals into darkness after encountering a mystical item called the One Wish Willow. The film has garnered significant attention for its exploration of psychological horror, delving into complex themes such as obsession, consent, and interpersonal relationships.
