Inde Navarrette is a name everyone will know by 2027, if they don’t already. The horror genre’s newest final girl hosted Saturday Night Live on Halloween, and is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Rogue in the upcoming X-Men reboot. She will star alongside Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Christopher Abbot as Professor X, Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister, and Kit Connor as Cyclops. As fans eagerly obsess over Navarrette’s next career move, the film that launched her to stardom is about to find a new streaming home.
YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker‘s record-breaking horror film Obsession is coming to Netflix on November 17. After its run on Peacock, Netflix will introduce Freaky Nikki to a whole new audience, keeping the Halloween spirit alive a little longer. While the premise isn’t exactly new — there have been many cursed object or wish-gone-wrong horror movies out there — Obsession breathes new life into a tired formula. Beneath the supernatural scares, the real (and timely) horror comes from the so-called “nice guy,” whose crush reveals a much nastier, misogynistic side. Barker’s nuanced storytelling, especially his use of lighting effects, combined with what Collider’s Hannah Hunt calls an Oscar-worthy performance by Navarrette, proves both deserve to be on Hollywood’s rising A-list. Critics and audiences agree, both awarding the film highly at 93% and 94%, respectively, on Rotten Tomatoes.
Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.
Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.
- He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
- Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
- The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
- You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.
Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.
- But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
- Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
- Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
- You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.
Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.
- You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
- The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
- Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
- Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.
Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
- The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
- You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
- That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
- It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.
Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.
- You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
- Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
- Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
- Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.
What’s Next for Curry Barker?
Curry Barker, only in his late 20s, is just getting started. On Halloween, the filmmaker returned to his YouTube roots with a short film called Mama Bear. He wrote, directed, and edited the 5-minute horror film, and it’s available to watch for free now. In May 2027, Barker will release the horror-comedy Anything But Ghosts, which he says deserves a “free pass” after Obsession. The new film reunites Barker with his Obsession co-star Cooper Tomlinson along with heavy-hitters like Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul and Jurassic World‘s Bryce Dallas Howard. On top of that, Barker is tapped to direct the newest version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre for A24, as well as an untitled horror project from Universal and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. Clearly both Barker and Navarrette aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Obsession joins Netflix on November 17. Stay tuned for more updates on Inde Navarrette’s and Curry Barker’s upcoming projects.
