The Obsession obsession is about to get even more obsessive, because this hit horror movie is coming to streaming on Peacock tomorrow.
Written and directed by Curry Barker, Obsession stars Michael Johnston as a young romantic named Bear, who works at a music shop alongside his childhood bestie, Nikki (break-out star Inde Navarrette). Bear laments that he’s stuck in the friend zone with Nikki. So when he happens upon a supernatural object in a New Age store that purports to grant him a wish, he wishes for Nikki to fall in love with him. And boy, does he get what he wished for! As it turns out, it’s not so fun having a girl be obsessed with you.
Thanks to a word-of-mouth campaign from horror fans who loved the film, Obsession was a huge box office hit, earning over $371 million at the worldwide box office, and becoming Focus Features’ highest-grossing film of all time. Two weeks ago, Obsession was released on digital to buy and rent, where it topped the video-on-demand charts. Now, two months after this hit horror film opened in theaters, Obsession is coming to streaming on Peacock.
