Obsession is a 2025 American supernatural psychological horror film written, directed, and edited by Curry Barker in his theatrical debut. The film follows Bear (played by Michael Johnston), a music store employee who buys a supernatural toy that grants him his wish for his friend Nikki (played by Inde Navarrette) to fall in love with him, resulting in horrifying consequences. Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter appear in supporting roles. Having started as a YouTube sketch comedian, Barker uploaded his short horror film The Chair to his channel in 2023, for which he received an offer from producer James Harris to adapt it into a feature-length film. Barker took the opportunity to pitch a different film idea of his, Obsession, partly inspired by an episode of The Simpsons. Made for $750,000, the film was shot in the Los Angeles area in October 2024. Obsession premiered on September 5, 2025, at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where Focus Features acquired distribution rights for $14–15 million, the highest price commanded by a genre film in TIFF history, and Jason Blum came on board as an executive producer under Blumhouse Productions. Obsession was theatrically released in the United States on May 15, 2026, and became a critical and commercial success, grossing $167 million worldwide.
