"Obsession," the Blumhouse supernatural thriller from viral sketch creator Curry Barker, opened to widespread critical acclaim that has propelled its Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer into the mid-90s range with more than 160 reviews accumulated in its first week. Critics have highlighted the film’s deviously crowd-pleasing take on obsessive behavior, blending disturbing tension with skillful thrills and dark humor, which has positioned it as the highest-rated wide release of 2026 so far and the top horror entry since last year’s standout. Strong verified audience scores near 95 percent and positive early box-office tracking have reinforced trader consensus around sustained high marks, though the score could still fluctuate modestly as additional reviews arrive before the May 22 wide release window closes.
