Curry Barker, the 26-year-old writer-director of the horror film 'Obsession', has had a whirlwind month since the movie's release. Initially projected to open at $8-10 million, 'Obsession' shattered expectations, making $7 million on its first day and eventually reaching $300 million globally. Barker's wish for the film to be a huge hit came true, and he became the hottest young horror director in the industry. With his follow-up film 'Anything But Ghosts' already shot and a deal to write and direct a reboot of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' from A24, Barker's career is skyrocketing. However, the journey to success wasn't without challenges. Barker had to fight for creative control and navigate the tricky issue of consent in the film. Despite the success, Barker remains grounded and humble, living in the same apartment he's had for three years and keeping a low-key lifestyle. As he contemplates his next move, Barker must decide between pursuing an IP movie or sticking to his original ideas. In the end, Barker's success is a testament to his hard work, creativity, and determination to stay true to his vision.
