Key facts
- Horror film 'Obsession' is now streaming in India on OTT
- Film associated with horror filmmaker Clive Barker
- NDTV Profit published a viewing guide for Indian audiences
The horror film 'Obsession', connected to acclaimed horror auteur Clive Barker, has made its OTT debut in India, with streaming access now available to Indian subscribers, according to NDTV Profit.
NDTV Profit has published a guide detailing how Indian viewers can watch the film, reflecting the growing appetite for international horror content on Indian streaming platforms. Barker is one of horror cinema and literature's most distinctive voices, known for creating visceral and imaginative worlds — most famously the 'Hellraiser' franchise — and his association with 'Obsession' has generated significant interest among genre fans.
The arrival of international horror titles via OTT has become a regular feature of India's streaming landscape, as platforms compete to offer content that caters to niche but intensely engaged audiences. Horror, in particular, has seen a notable surge in Indian viewership, driven partly by the success of domestic horror productions and partly by younger audiences exploring global genre cinema.
For Indian fans of Barker's work, the OTT release removes the accessibility barriers that have historically kept many international horror films out of reach. The convenience of streaming means that a film of this profile can find its Indian audience without requiring a theatrical run.
