Ok obsession is definitely an indie movie I was lead astray by big blumhouse and my own inability to read

i think they lied, i don't think it made that much money

the director of obsession is 26 years old and the entire movie was shot in 1 month???



@Millexcel2 That’s three posts on him dude lmao it’s alright man, maybe fame just isn’t for your shitty podcast 🤷♂️



Obsession is pulling off something almost unheard of at the box office. After debuting to $17 million domestically, the horror hit actually INCREASED its earnings by 30% in its second weekend, a rare feat for any movie, let alone a horror film. Made for just $750,000, Obsession is now barreling toward $100 million worldwide, putting it in the same conversation as breakout horror phenomena like Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project.

@Millexcel2 You're mixing up 'Obsession' with 'Backrooms' The rumor is Oz Perkins 'ghost directed' Backrooms with Kane Parsons receiving the official role. However, Parsons made all of the original Backrooms shorts of Youtube when he was 16. Perkins was a mentor/advisor to him.

I read somewhere that Blumhouse got this young kid to act as kind of a "face" for the film while a more experienced director was behind the scenes actually putting the work in. You ever hear of Milli Vanilli? Sort of like that.

@Millexcel2 You’re likely mixing this up with the current rumours surround A24’s upcoming Backrooms movie. The rumour is Oz Perkins ghost directed the film and the 20yr old YouTuber credited is predominantly for marketing. Obsession was clearly done entirely by Barker.
