Curry Barker Teases Obsession 2 or Anthology Despite Plot Hole

Deadline reports that Curry Barker’s horror hit Obsession is thriving at the box office as he weighs a follow-up—either a direct Obsession 2 or an anthology TV series set in the same world. Barker acknowledges a plot hole around the One Wish Willow, noting the film’s rules don’t fully make sense because wishes could create alternate realities, yet the story still follows Bear’s and Ian’s wishes (and a money-wish moment) in a way that’s hard to reconcile. He envisions multiple episodes exploring different wishes or a film sequel, potentially directing the pilot with a new team, while remaining open to revisiting Obsession despite other projects in development.

It's a stylish indie debut that doubles as a cautionary tale about what happens when desire runs unchecked and lore is kept minimal.

From YouTube to the Big Screen: Curry Barker Crafts Modern Horror

Filmmaker Curry Barker, who began with YouTube sketch comedy and gained early traction with Milk & Serial, discusses his jump to a financed feature with Obsession, shaping its look through location scouting and a retro packaging design for the One-Wish-Willow, and elevating Inde Navarrette’s Nikki as a relatable, obsessive character. Barker argues the horror in Obsession lies in the psychology of desire rather than demons, aims for a human villain, and relies on a hands-on, iterative process—shooting with intent, testing in editing, and letting ideas breathe after sleep—with Blumhouse already taking notice.
