The surprise horror hit "Obsession," which garnered significant attention for its low production cost and high box office returns, is now available for streaming on-demand.
The film, written, directed, and edited by emerging filmmaker Curry Barker, made its theatrical debut in May. It has since grossed over $370 million worldwide on a reported budget of just $750,000. "Obsession" marks Barker's feature film debut after gaining recognition for his work in YouTube sketch comedy.
The plot centers on a hopeless romantic, played by Michael Johnston, who breaks a mystical "One Wish Willow" to win the heart of his crush, Nikki Freeman, portrayed by Inde Navarrette. The logline suggests that while his wishes are granted, they come with unforeseen and dark consequences.
