HOLLYWOOD, CA — Director Curry Barker has a surprise hit on his hands with his indie horror movie Obsession, which has especially connected with Gen Z audiences. Barker said he got the idea for his frightening movie from a real-life source. "I once met a woman!" Barker exclaimed.
Barker went on to further describe the scary encounter. "She said one thing, but I think she often meant another," Barker said. "And she had emotions — but not like a normal amount. A lot of emotions. It was horrific, and I didn't know what to do."
Barker had initially repressed the experience, but when sitting down to pen a horror script, his memory of the chilling encounter resurfaced. "I was trying to come up with something that would be a really scary thing," Barker explained. "And then I remembered the woman. And I was thinking what if a man had to deal with a woman... like a lot. I was almost too scared to write it."
With Obsession such a huge hit, a sequel seems likely, but Barker said he was not sure where to go from there. "I don't know how you raise the stakes from a woman," Barker said. "Two women? Doesn't seem plausible." Barker then seemed to be struck with some inspiration. "What if a guy had a daughter? Oh man, that's horrifying."
At publishing time, Barker was reportedly trying to muster up the courage to conduct some research for the sequel by speaking to another woman.
Rumors swirl about the current condition of Senator Mitch McConnell, but his staff have come out to say that even if he were dead he will still be able to finish his term.
