Obsession is a 2025 American supernatural horror film written, directed, and edited by Curry Barker. It follows shop clerk Bear (Michael Johnston) as he makes a wish for his friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette) to fall in love with him, leading to terrifying consequences. Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter appear in supporting roles.

Barker is still developing as a filmmaker, albeit quickly: His previous film, “Milk & Serial,” was self-released on YouTube, and his next one, “Anything But Ghosts,” is a multimillion-dollar Blumhouse project starring Aaron Paul. He’s also been tasked with a “reimagining” of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” for A24, which isn’t as bizarre as it sounds—after all, the original “Texas Chain Saw” was one of those lightning-in-a-bottle movies, too. The question is whether his subsequent films will capture their moments as effectively as “Obsession” does, or whether this film will end up being a one-wish wonder.
