## Resource

Obsession completely lives up to the hype, and the game has changed. We break down how Curry Barker turned a YouTube sketch comedy career into one of the best horror movies of the year on a budget of just $750,000. We talk about Inde Navarrette's star making performance as Nikki and why her descent into obsession is somehow funny, heartbreaking, and horrifying all at once. We get into why this film might change how Hollywood looks for new directing talent, especially creators already building audiences on YouTube. And we give our honest reaction to a movie that had us on the edge of our seat the entire time, wondering what she was going to do next.
