Blumhouse's new horror movie has been granted its biggest wish yet on Rotten Tomatoes.
Since its inception in 2000, Blumhouse has become one of the most popular independent studios, especially for its emphasis on the horror genre. Some projects have spawned major franchises, including The Black Phone, Insidious, Five Nights at Freddy's, and The Purge, among others. Despite plenty of success, the studio faced a short setback last year with back-to-back box office disappointments, but it has since rebounded with the last few releases.
Now, Blumhouse's latest horror movie is ready to extend that streak with Obsession, which is already becoming a major critical hit. Following the premiere at TIFF in 2025, critics were nearly unanimous about the new supernatural horror, which led to an incredibly high 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the most important voice is the audience, whose verdicts are trickling on the site.
After over 500+ verified ratings, Obsession now has a very solid 94% audience score, making it one of the highest-rated movies with moviegoers for the studio. It just ranks behind Apple TV's The Lost Bus (95%) but ties with the Oscar-winning movie, Whiplash (94%), starring Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons.
Based on the Obsession reviews, much of the high praise is directed towards the movie's originality and strong performance from the lead duo, Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, with the latter noted as the standout for its creepy, yet subtly vulnerable character. Obsession also strikes the right balance of suspense and levity as the events unfold of the sinister wish, which brings off a disturbing yet sharp direction.
Obsession is now playing in theaters.
