When Wishes Become a Personal Hell: Obsession 2026

Curry Barker’s Obsession (2026) is a film that understands something most horror movies miss: that wishes reveal us more brutally than any monster ever could.

In this review, Tuba Meltem Pekol (@tmelpekol) examines how Barker transforms a simple curse narrative into a searing critique of male fantasy and toxic desire, anchored by Inde Navarrette’s (indenavarrette) haunting performance as Nikki – a young woman whose body becomes a prison for someone else’s obsession.
