El director de Obsession confirma oficialmente que la próxima película se desarrollará en el mismo universo

Todo el mundo está cautivado por la nueva película y su popularidad sigue creciendo. Lanzado en mayo de 2026, rápidamente se convirtió en un éxito masivo y sorprendente para el director Curry Barker, Focus Features y Universal.

¡Estoy muy emocionado de saber más sobre lo que Barker está planeando! Después del gran éxito de Obsession, todos se preguntaban qué haría a continuación. Bueno, ¡ahora lo sabemos! Va a dirigir una nueva película llamada Anything But Ghosts, y está ambientada en el mismo mundo que Obsession. Aparentemente, está basándose en la historia y los personajes de su primer gran éxito de terror, ¡lo cual es increíble!

Barker suggests that the story in Obsession foreshadows events in the upcoming Anything But Ghosts, specifically connecting to the future storyline of the character Fate, played by Inde Nvarrette.

What’s Next In the Obsession Universe?

We won’t spoil anything about Obsession, but when asked about how Anything But Ghosts connects to his earlier work, Barker hinted at a connection. He mentioned a scene in the upcoming film featuring a news report about a woman responsible for a triple homicide.

The report also previews Clive Barker’s next project, Anything But Ghosts. This upcoming film, a collaboration with Focus and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, follows two con artists who pretend to be ghost hunters. Their scam takes a dangerous turn when they encounter a real, malevolent entity.

The upcoming film, Obsession, features Inde Navarrette (known for Superman & Lois and Trap House) alongside Cooper Tomlinson. Tomlinson, who has a working relationship with Barker through Anything But Ghosts, will co-write and star in the movie. Joining them are Violet McGraw (Doctor Sleep, M3GAN, Thunderbolts), Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World, Rocketman), and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Westworld, Fallout). Barker will direct the project.

Obsession Took the Horror Genre By Storm, Quickly

Almost nobody, except for Barker and Tomlinson, saw the huge success of Obsession coming. But here we are, just under two weeks after its release, and horror fans are completely captivated – which is a delightfully ironic twist.

The movie is receiving incredibly positive reviews from both critics and audiences, which is rare. It boasts a 96% ‘Certified Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and audiences overwhelmingly agree, giving it a ‘Verified Hot’ score of 94%. But that’s not even the most remarkable thing about it.

Despite a small production budget of just $750,000, Barker’s film Obsession has earned almost $100 million and continues to bring in money at the box office. This makes it one of the best films of 2026, regardless of how you measure success. It’s no surprise Barker quickly started working on a sequel, Anything But Ghosts, aiming to capture the same feel as Obsession.
