Focus Features<\/a> has released the first official trailer for their upcoming horror-thriller Obsession, a film that has already been gaining some big traction amongst the film community ahead of its release this summer. You can watch the trailer below:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The film first had its world premiere at last year\u2019s Toronto International Film Festival and is scheduled to screen at SXSW later this month, as well as some other festivals before its cinema release. Following that first screening, and winning first runner-up for the People\u2019s Choice Award in the cult Midnight Madness section of the festival, Focus Features paid over $15million for the worldwide distribution rights of the film (bar France, Russia and New Zealand).<\/p>\n

Jason Blum and Blumhouse<\/a> came on board at Christmas last year.<\/p>\n
