Curry Barker's Horror Film Obsession Arrives on Peacock After Box Office Success

Curry Barker's indie horror film Obsession has moved to streaming after becoming a major box office success, with the supernatural thriller now available on Peacock. The film generated over $400 million in theatrical revenue and continues to generate audience interest as it transitions to home viewing platforms.

Plot and Cast

Obsession, written and directed by Barker, centers on Bear Bailey, a young man working at a music store years after high school. When his long-time crush and coworker Nikki Freeman announces her intention to quit, Bear purchases a novelty item called a One Wish Willow at a crystal shop. Rather than giving the toy to Nikki as a gift, Bear impulsively uses it to wish for her to love him "more than anyone in the world." The wish manifests, but the consequences prove far darker than he anticipated.

Michael Johnston portrays Bear, while Inde Navarrette plays Nikki. The film has sparked extensive online discussion regarding its characters, plot theories, and underlying themes since its theatrical release.

Obsession became available on Peacock on July 17, arriving just two weeks after its premium video-on-demand release on platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. The film remains in theatrical release for viewers preferring the big-screen experience. On Peacock, the movie is accessible through the Premium tier at $11 monthly or the Premium Plus ad-free option at $17 monthly. Users with Walmart+ subscriptions gain free access to Peacock as part of their membership bundle.
