What to Know

Critics Consensus

Taking an icky conceit and twisting it to deviously crowd-pleasing ends, Obsession is dauntingly disturbing while also skillfully amusing and thrilling.

4/5
This is, essentially, just a dark exercise in genre: a romcom gone horribly, upsettingly wrong. In this sense -- and we suspect Barker would take this as a huge compliment -- Obsession is the worst date movie imaginable. Go to Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap 3h
Curry Barker’s supernatural nightmare 'Obsession' is a better version of 'Wonder Woman 1984.' Go to Full Review Monica Castillo AV Club 4h
A-
With a simple premise and one unassuming wish, Barker immerses his audience in a dark scenario that only escalates in tension and carnage. It’s the kind of horror movie that makes a viewer uneasy almost from the start and doesn’t let up... Go to Full Review Eric Goldman Eric Goldman (YouTube) 2h
What a spectacular performance by Inde Navarrette. Nikki is going to be very iconic going forward. People are going to be really into this character and really into this actress and it will be very well-earned. Go to Full Review Devan Suber The Film Stage 4h
Familiar as it may be, Obsession provides a firm introduction to multiple budding talents while providing all the sick thrills and nasty twists on morality one could ask for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
