A bold new voice in horror, Curry Barker will unleash Obsession in cinemas next year. Watch the new teaser trailer for the movie here.
The horror genre is crying out for new voices to carry it forward. With Chris Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks and the continued presence of Osgood Perkins, it is in safe hands at the moment. But it could always use a few more new and talented horror writers and directors who have something new to say. We can add Curry Barker’s name to that list.
Obsession is an exciting new horror film written, directed, and edited by Barker. With a cast led by Michael Johnston, the film captivates audiences with its striking visuals and sound, making it a promising hit. Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless and Andy Richter also feature in the film, which has Jason Blum serving as an executive producer through his Blumhouse Productions banner. It tells the story of a music store employee who buys a supernatural toy and wishes for his childhood friend Nikki to fall in love with him. Of course, it is never that simple or without consequences. The film’s new teaser trailer has been revealed.
