From Shorts to Slasher: Curry Barker's Rapid Rise in Horror
Curry Barker, 25, has burst onto Hollywood's horror scene after Obsession premiered at TIFF to strong buzz, with Focus Features purchasing the $750,000 film for about $15 million. Barker writes, directs and edits his projects from a bedroom studio with collaborator Cooper Tomlinson, while lining up Anything But Ghosts and a Texas Chainsaw Massacre adaptation for A24, and drawing backing from Blum and Roy Lee as he becomes one of the genre's hottest young talents.
