Curry Barker's Obsession arrives in theaters on May 15, 2026, carrying the quiet momentum of a filmmaker whose previous micro-budget feature, Milk & Serial, built its reputation almost entirely through word of mouth. The film's central premise - a man uses a magical wish to make a woman love him, with catastrophic results - is deceptively simple, but Barker has been vocal about the psychological and emotional weight he intended it to carry.
