Curry Barker Says ‘Anything But Ghosts’ Is In ‘Obsession’ Universe
SPOILERS: This post contains details about the final scene of Obsession
With the success of his directorial breakout in Focus Features and Universal’s Obsession, Curry Barker is teasing his horror followup.
The writer/director recently revealed that his next film Anything But Ghosts exists in the same universe as Obsession, noting a direct reference to the film currently in theaters, including a nod to Nikki’s (Inde Navarrette) fate.
“There’s like a news article thing on the next movie where you hear a news anchor talking about a triple homicide [by] a woman,” Barker told an audience during a recent post-screening Q&A.
At the end of Obsession, the spell cast over Nikki by Bear’s (Michael Johnston) is broken when he takes his own life. But the damage is done after her obsessive rage drives her to kill their friends Sarah (Megan Lawless) and Ian (Cooper Tomlinson).
In Anything But Ghosts, Barker’s next collaboration with Focus and Universal, two con artists posing as ghost hunters end up in a dangerous situation when they come face-to-face with an actual dark entity.
