Obsession opens in theaters TONIGHT.
"Curry Barker wrings blood-curdling terror from a classic Monkey’s Paw wish fulfillment scenario in Obsession," writes Bloody Disgusting's Head Critic Meagan Navarro. "A simple, well-trodden concept transforms into a shocking and unsettling descent into abject horror in Barker’s capable hands, ensuring that his latest is destined to become horror’s latest, well, obsession."
Meagan's review continues, "Inde Navarrette quickly becomes Obsession‘s not-so-secret weapon in this increasingly disturbing masterclass of wish-fulfillment horror. Curry Barker amplifies Nikki’s erratic and increasingly violent behavior with chilling atmospherics and smart direction. Obsession is one freaky movie, especially in the night sequences that see Barker turn his romantic lead into a boogeyman."
"Obsession takes you on a wild ride," Meagan adds. "It’s one insane journey paved with blood-soaked violence and no shortage of nightmare fuel. Barker puts his stamp on the wish-fulfillment subgenre with frightening flair."

Wrapping up my latest SXSW trip with a junket for a nonstop adrenaline rush of a horror movie.
It's been a whirlwind of movies, tacos, hangs with friends new and old, and a visit to a toy museum where I reignited my love of crazy taxi.
Until next time, Austin!

A few years ago, my brother randomly gifted me with a death whistle for my birthday, mere months before WHISTLE was announced. Always thought the timing was weird! Now that the movie is out this weekend, enjoy the spotlight, little death whistle.

Few directors have as much fun splattering their cast with as much goop and viscera as possible as Sam Raimi. One can practically picture the amused filmmaker guffawing behind the camera in pure amusement as leads Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien receive a few blood or vomit canons to the face in SEND HELP, a deliciously fun survival thriller that nestles perfectly in Raimi’s splatstick oeuvre.
Rachel McAdams fully commits to every bit of insanity that Raimi, working from a screenplay by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason), throws at her. More than just embracing the mania, taking and dishing out violence with gusto, McAdams injects affecting vulnerability with effortless ease, disarming both the audience and her trapped boss. Dylan O’Brien also keeps you guessing, wondering if his moments of humanity are to be trusted or if he’s slowly learning the error of his ways.
Send Help hinges on the push and pull, give and take between two people who ultimately don’t trust each other yet need each other to survive. Of course, there’s a lot more than meets the eye that gets revealed piecemeal, creating further shifts in trust and allegiances.
While Send Help leans more into survival thrills with a pitch-black comedic streak, Raimi’s horror roots are on full display. A constant barrage of blood, vomit, and bodily fluids aside, expect a trademark nightmare sequence with a ghastly scare.
Send Help is full of vibrant personality, packed with all of Raimi’s signatures. It might be a bit more grounded and not nearly as full throttle as previous works, but it’s still a welcome return for the filmmaker, designed to entertain and deliver a little bit of catharsis for work frustrations. It’s a raucous, goopy good time at the movies.
