The low‑budget horror movie *Obsession*, produced for roughly $750,000, was acquired by Focus Features for an estimated $14‑15 million. The film has since generated about $250 million in box‑office revenue, representing a return of roughly 400 times its original cost.

Critics have highlighted the film’s effective direction by Curry Baker and a breakout performance by Inde Navarrette, calling it a defining horror title of its generation. Its unexpected commercial success is being cited as a potential model for independent filmmakers seeking large‑scale profitability.
