OBSESSION is a strong yet flawed indie horror feature debut from Curry Barker. His ability to clearly establish his premise (“be careful what you wish for,” especially if it’s to be with your crush), utilize effective jump scares, mix horror and comedy, and particularly,…
Matt NegliaSep 11, 2025This being the biggest pickup at TIFF by a distributor makes a lot of sense. Everything about its high-concept cringey teen rom-com turned gory possession movie and sense of style (grey palette, underlit shallow focus symmetry, visceral jump scare sound design) is readymade…

Obsession should and will put Barker on the map as a horror filmmaker you need to watch. Thanks to fantastic turns by Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, you'll be addicted to this sour Valentine's Day counterprogramming.
Obsession is satisfyingly slick proof that [Barker] knows just what to do when levelling up to a different platform, and while his debut might have been a film designed around a very modern form of horror, this time he’s looking back, his set-up using elements of a classic fable and the kind of grabby schlock you’d see in a video store back in the 1980s.
Obsession should keep everyone awake long after they get home from seeing it.
