Ayala Malls Cinemas expands its roster of curated, world-class exclusive titles with critically acclaimed, original horror film Obsession. The movie is directed by a new voice in horror, Curry Barker, who went viral for his 2024 found footage horror film Milk & Serial. Obsession is a story of a hopeless romantic, who in a desperate bid to capture the heart of the girl he likes, makes a wish on a kitschy “One Wish Willow” toy. He finds himself getting exactly what he needs, but soon discovers that wishes can come with a dark, sinister price.

Director Baker shares his motivation for weaving this dark story for the big screen. “With Obsession, I wanted to tell a story about how far someone’s fixation on another person can go. At what point does something we call love stop being love? And beyond that, what does the word “love” even mean?”
Baker also wants his film to leave a lasting impression on the viewers, stating, “I want people leaving the theater still talking - arguing over how they felt, what they would have done differently, and whether what they saw was love or obsession.”
