Obsession turned out to be one of the biggest surprise hits of 2026. Made on a shoestring budget by first-time feature filmmaker Curry Barker, the supernatural psychological horror film won over critics and audiences alike with its unsettling story and strong performances. It went on to become a box-office sensation, earning more than $370 million worldwide and establishing itself as one of the year's most talked-about horror films.

Streaming details of Obsession online

For viewers waiting to watch the film at home, Obsession is now available to buy or rent digitally on Prime Video and Apple TV. However, it is not yet available as part of a streaming subscription in India or other markets.

The digital version is priced internationally at $24.99 to purchase and $19.99 to rent. The makers are expected to announce a full streaming release later this month, although an official date has not been confirmed. The film's physical release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD is scheduled for July 14, and it is also expected to arrive on Peacock in the coming weeks.




Those who buy the digital edition will also get access to bonus features, including a behind-the-scenes featurette and director Curry Barker's audio commentary.

Released in theatres on May 15 by Focus Features, Obsession quickly became one of the biggest success stories of the year. Produced on a reported budget of just $700,000, the film relied heavily on positive word of mouth after its release and steadily attracted audiences across the world.

The movie currently holds an impressive 95% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the highest-rated horror films of 2026. Its remarkable box-office run, crossing $370 million worldwide, has also made it one of the most profitable horror films in recent years.

What is Obsession about?

Written and directed by Curry Barker, the film follows Bear, played by Michael Johnston, a young man desperately trying to win the affection of his crush, Nikki, portrayed by Inde Navarrette.

Bear discovers a mysterious object known as the One Wish Willow and uses it to make Nikki fall in love with him. At first, everything seems to go exactly as he hoped. But the wish soon takes a terrifying turn, as Nikki's affection becomes increasingly obsessive and dangerous. What begins as a romantic fantasy slowly transforms into a disturbing psychological nightmare filled with supernatural twists.

Rather than relying only on jump scares, Obsession explores themes of unhealthy relationships, emotional control and the consequences of trying to manipulate another person's feelings. The film has also sparked conversations about male entitlement and the importance of consent in relationships.

Cast and runtime

Apart from Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, the film also features Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless and Andy Richter in important roles. The official runtime of Obsession is 1 hour and 50 minutes, although some versions run between 109 and 110 minutes depending on the cut released in different markets. Moreover, the digital release also has bonus features, including a behind-the-scenes video and audio commentary from director Curry Barker.

While Obsession received praise from critics and audiences worldwide, its Indian theatrical release also attracted attention for another reason. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reportedly removed two important scenes before approving the film for release, including one involving a major death sequence.

Despite the edits, the horror film managed to perform well at the Indian box office and found a strong audience among genre fans.

For now, anyone who missed Obsession in theatres can watch it by renting or purchasing the film digitally. Stay tuned for more details.
