Curry Barker made headlines at this very publication by making a feature length slasher called “Milk & Serial” for $800, posting it to watch for free on YouTube and watching it become a viral sensation. A year later, a lot has changed. “Milk” never slowed in momentum, with over two million views in the year since it debuted. Meanwhile, Barker is opening his newest film at this year’s Toronto Film Festival.
“Obsession,” in which a lovelorn guy named Bear (Michael Johnston) messes with the supernatural to get romantic attention from his friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette), is set to debut on Friday as part of the fest’s Midnight Madness section. As can be expected, things don’t go as planned, and a new spin on the classic monkey’s paw / “be careful what you wish for” tale is born.
Barker admits that inspiration struck from an unlikely time and place.
