Obsession Review: Is This the Best Horror Movie of 2026?

Jason and Rachel review Obsession, the breakout horror hit from writer-director Curry Barker.

The movie follows Bear, a hopeless romantic who uses the mysterious “One Wish Willow” to make his crush love him — only to discover that getting exactly what you want can be an absolute nightmare.

We talk about the movie’s huge word-of-mouth success, its TIFF Midnight Madness buzz, Curry Barker’s horror-comedy style, Andy Richter, toxic longing, magical consent nightmares, and why Jason is already calling this one of the best movies of the year.

Spoilers for Obsession.
