Curry Barker’s film Obsession managed to capture the attention of film lovers, Beauties. According to data cited by Deadline, this supernatural psychological horror film earned 224.7 million USD at the global box office.
The story focuses on Bear (Michael Johnston), a young man who secretly loves his best friend, Nikki (Inde Navarrette). Because he is desperate that his love remains unreciprocated, Bear uses a mystical wish‑granting object called One Wish Willow to make Nikki return his feelings. However, that wish turns into a nightmare that triggers a terrifying psychological terror.
If you enjoy the tension and chilling atmosphere of Obsession, there are several other films with similar vibes that are equally interesting to watch. Here are five recommendations. Let’s take a look!

<p><em>Companion</em> tells the story of Iris who is in a relationship with Josh. However, their relationship begins to crack when the two of them spend holiday time with friends.

Ruby Sparks follows the story of Calvin, a young novelist who experiences writer’s block. One day, he creates a female character named Ruby Sparks. Strangely, Ruby then appears in the real world and becomes his girlfriend. Over time, Calvin realizes that he can control Ruby’s behavior through the writings he creates.

5. Audition (1999)

Audition is a Japanese psychological horror film that tells a romance story that turns into a nightmare due to obsession, manipulation, and past trauma. It follows Shigeru Aoyama, a widower who holds a fake audition to find a life partner. He then becomes interested in Asami, a mysterious woman who seems perfect. Beneath her gentle demeanor, Asami hides a dark secret that slowly begins to surface.
If you like Obsession because it raises toxic relationships and the psychological tension built gradually, Audition can be an equally interesting choice. The film presents a similar atmosphere but with a darker and more intense approach, Beauties.
