Blumhouse’s supernatural horror thriller “Obsession,” written and directed by viral sketch creator Curry Barker, debuted with overwhelming critical praise that has driven its Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer into the mid-90s. Reviewers highlight the film’s deviously crowd-pleasing twist on an unsettling premise, calling it disturbingly effective and skillfully amusing. Both critics and early verified audiences have awarded it 94-95 percent scores, positioning it as the highest-rated wide release of 2026 so far and among the studio’s strongest entries in years. With theatrical rollout beginning this weekend, sustained word-of-mouth and additional reviews could stabilize or slightly adjust the final certified score before the market resolves.
