One of the hottest, if not THE most anticipated horror film of the year is Curry Barker‘s festival smash hit Obsession, which sold for a whopping $15M+ out of the Toronto International Film Festival this summer. Read Josh’s review here.
Focus Features has shared with Dread Central a new official still and teaser poster, the latter prominently featuring the literal definition of “obsession.” The design is both eye-catching and deliberate, set against a striking red backdrop that underscores themes of rage and death long associated with the color in cinema. A sharp, effective visual choice.
ob·ses·sion (n)
A relentless attachment to an idea, feeling, or emotion; often paired with mental strain and physical unease.
In the film, after breaking the mysterious “One Wish Willow” to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
“Her ghoulishness has all the makings of a newly minted horror icon. I’m not exaggerating when I say this performance is genuinely startling. Think of Mikey Madison’s fireworks in Anora, then imagine she’s been bitten by a Deadite suffering from the world’s worst migraines. Her suffering is nearly as frightening as the suffering she enacts on the world around her. It’s a revelation.”
Focus Features is bringing your new horror Obsession to theaters nationwide on May 15.
