We&#8217;ve seen it happen with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/talk-to-me-a24-film\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Danny and Michael Philippou&#8217;s\u00a0Talk to Me<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/weapons-streaming-hbo-max\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Zach Cregger&#8217;s\u00a0Weapons<\/a> (which won Amy Madigan an Oscar earlier this year). But now the internet has a new horror obsession (pun very much intended) \u2013 an unsettling psychological horror film from Curry Barker called Obsession.<\/p>\n<p>It premiered back in 2025 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/toronto-international-film-festival-program-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Toronto International Film Festival<\/a> as part of its Midnight Madness block \u2013 but it&#8217;s finally gotten its wider cinematic release, and <a href=\"https:\/\/letterboxd.com\/film\/obsession-2025-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">already has a Letterbox review rating akin to that of Interstellar<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/who-is-inde-navarrette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Leading lady Inde Navarrette<\/a> pulls off some of the most intense and superb acting we&#8217;ve seen this year \u2013 and we expect her star will only grow.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;ve already seen it in cinemas and need a re-watch, or if you simply need to see the horror film in the comfort of your own home (with the light switch only mere millimetres away) \u2013 you might be wondering where to do so.
