Obsession horror film grosses $100 million, noted for extreme violence and profanity

The 2026 horror film *Obsession* follows a shy record‑store employee who uses a novelty occult device to make a coworker fall in love with him, only for the wish to backfire and unleash a violent, demonic curse. The story depicts extreme disturbing violence, a high count of profanity (over 130 obscenities, including 90‑plus "f"‑words), sexual content, drug references and a suicide suggestion, leading rating guides to label it as highly graphic.

In its first three weeks, the movie earned more than $100 million at the U.S. box office, resonating with Gen Z audiences through its portrayal of social anxiety and the fear of confronting interpersonal conflict. Critics highlighted the strong performance of the female lead and the film’s stark, hopeless tone, while also noting its predictable morality tale about the dangers of occult practices.

The film’s graphic content and cultural relevance have sparked discussion about its impact on young viewers and the broader horror genre.
