Making a notable entry into the digital realm, the horror sensation “Obsession,” directed by newcomer Curry Barker, is now available for purchase or rental on platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV. This move follows a remarkably successful run in theaters, where the film grossed over $370 million globally on a production budget of less than $1 million. However, the film is not yet part of any regular streaming subscription package, with an announcement on when it will be available for streaming expected in the future.
Audiences can look forward to an enriched digital experience as the release includes additional content such as behind-the-scenes footage and a director’s commentary. For those who prefer physical copies, “Obsession” will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on July 14. Additionally, a streaming release on Peacock is anticipated, although the exact date is yet to be announced.
Written and directed by Barker, “Obsession” has captivated audiences with its story of a young man’s romantic aspirations taking a sinister twist upon encountering a mystical artifact, the One Wish Willow. The film has been lauded for its psychological horror elements and its exploration of themes like obsession, consent, and relationships, earning it widespread attention and acclaim.
While fans eagerly await the film’s availability on subscription-based streaming services, the current digital release provides an opportunity for a broader audience to experience Barker’s debut work. The impressive box office performance and ensuing digital release mark significant milestones for the first-time director, solidifying “Obsession” as a noteworthy entry in the horror genre.
