The first trailer for the upcoming horror film Obsession, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, has dropped online, MovieWeb reports.

Written and directed by Curry Barker, Obsession follows a hopeless romantic who, unable to tell his childhood crush how he feels, desperately makes a wish on an enchanted item for her to fall in love with him, only to eventually suffer dark and sinister consequences.

Barker, one of the co-creators of the YouTube comedy channel That’s A Bad Idea, first gained prominence with his 62-minute feature Milk & Serial. Made for $800, the project has garnered over two million views online.

Obsession, his second feature, has gone on to even bigger success, screening at the Toronto Film Festival’s Midnight Madness section, selling out screenings at Fantastic Fest, winning the People’s Choice Award at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain, and Focus Features picking it up for distribution for $14 million. It has also done well critically, currently sitting at a 97% Critical Score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Now, along with the announcement that Blumhouse has jumped on board to produce, a trailer for the project has appeared online via Focus Features’ YouTube page. The teaser shows the film’s lead character sitting in a car talking on a phone to customer service about the magical item he made a wish on, only for them to shoot him down when he asks if the wish can be changed.

Starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter, Obsession is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 15th, 2026.
