Obsession Finally Hits PVOD but Misses Indian OTT Release, Fans Disappointed

One of the biggest horror success stories of 2026, Obsession , has finally made its digital debut on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) . While movie lovers in several international markets can now rent or purchase the supernatural thriller from the comfort of their homes, fans in India are still waiting, as the film has yet to receive an official digital release in the country.

Directed by Curry Barker , Obsession has emerged as a genuine surprise blockbuster this year. Produced on a micro-budget without the backing of major stars, the film stunned the industry by earning rave reviews from critics and audiences alike before translating that acclaim into an extraordinary box office run.

A major reason behind the film's success has been the widely praised performance of Inde Navarrette , whose portrayal of Nikki Freeman has been hailed as one of the year's most memorable horror performances. Michael Johnston also received appreciation for his role, with the duo's on-screen chemistry adding emotional weight to the film's unsettling supernatural narrative.

The film is now available to rent or purchase through Apple TV , Amazon Prime Video , Fandango at Home , Google TV , and YouTube Movies in select international markets. However, these releases are limited to PVOD , where rental and purchase prices are significantly higher than standard streaming subscriptions and, in many regions, even exceed the cost of a cinema ticket.

Despite its digital rollout overseas, Indian audiences have been left disappointed as no OTT platform or digital release date has been announced for the country. Until then, viewers hoping to experience the film's acclaimed jump scares and eerie atmosphere may still have the opportunity to catch it in theatres where it continues to screen.

The film's commercial performance has been nothing short of remarkable. Having already grossed more than $370 million worldwide , Obsession is now the sixth highest-grossing horror film of all time . In India, the supernatural thriller has also become a major box office success and is rapidly approaching the coveted ₹100 crore milestone, cementing its place as one of the year's biggest cinematic surprises.
