After a historic box office run, industry analysts suspected it may be quite some time before Obsession gets a streaming release date. And while we had to wait a bit longer than usual for the movie to come home, Obsession is getting a somewhat surprising streaming release date this week.
Peacock has confirmed that Obsession will debut on its streaming service on July 17. As mentioned above, the movie’s streaming release follows a prolonged box-office run and a delayed (and ultimately brief) VOD availability window. It’s doubtful that the movie will be available via any other streamers anytime soon, so it’s time to re-up that Peacock subscription if you don’t already have one.
And if you haven’t seen Obsession… well, brace yourself. The horror film from director Curry Barker is undoubtedly one of the year’s most surprising films in ways that go beyond its incredible financial success. Essentially the tale of a love spell gone very wrong, Obsession takes a fairly familiar core premise and twists it in just the right ways to ensure that you’re never quite prepared for the places it goes.
So while there’s a good chance you’ve already seen the movie based on how many people apparently have, there’s never a bad time to check out the story of a guy named Bear who speedruns through a series of bad decisions in record time. Until then, all eyes remain on what Curry Barker and Obsession‘s breakout star Inde Navarrette do next.
