Nikki and Bear's unsettling relationship in Obsession has turned the horror film into an unlikely global phenomenon, with a passionate audience in India making it the highest-grossing English horror film.
Director Curry Barker, 26, admitted to being taken aback by the overwhelming response, saying, 'I didn't expect it to be a big hit anywhere, really.'
The film, made on a modest budget of $750,000, has grossed over $250 million worldwide, sparking conversations around its unsettling themes of toxic relationships, loneliness, and male entitlement.
Barker, who is now attracting attention from major Hollywood studios, expressed his desire to maintain his unique voice and not let the success of Obsession get to him.
