While Obsession seems to have already claimed millions of victims at the box office, it appears the horror sensation has found its next target, Tom Holland. The internet has spent weeks obsessing over Nikki and William’s twisted love story, turning a low-budget thriller into one of the year’s most talked-about films. And if Nikki’s nightmare has proven anything, it is that the friend zone may not have been the worst possible outcome after all.

Judging by Tom Holland’s latest comments, he may be the newest celebrity to fall under Obsession’s spell.

Tom Holland recently shared his admiration for Obsession during a Spanish television interview, praising both the film and the audience reaction it inspired. Recalling his theater experience, the actor said the packed crowd was screaming, laughing, and crying throughout the screening, calling it a perfect reminder of what makes moviegoing so special. Holland also applauded the film’s craftsmanship, describing it as highly entertaining while praising the performances of its cast.

“I went to see it in a full theater. People were screaming, laughing, crying. It was exactly what makes going to the movies so special. The movie was so well-made, so entertaining, the actors in it are fantastic" Holland shared during a Spanish talk show El Hormiguer.

Holland is far from the only one captivated by the horror phenomenon. Directed by Curry Barker, Obsession has transformed from a tiny $750,000 independent production into one of 2026’s biggest box-office success stories, grossing a staggering $332.4 million worldwide. The film generated such intense buzz that Focus Features acquired it at the Toronto International Film Festival for a record-breaking $14–$15 million genre-film deal, while its remarkable theatrical run has already paved the way for Obsession 2, which is officially in development.

With its terrifying box-office run showing no signs of slowing down, Obsession has already dethroned one of the genre’s most legendary records.

While Obsession’s shoestring-budget success story continues to grab headlines, the film officially surpassed the long-standing global box office record held by The Blair Witch Project, the groundbreaking 1999 phenomenon that redefined independent horror and earned $248.6 million worldwide during its historic run. However, beyond the numbers, it is Inde Navarrette’s unsettling portrayal of Nikki that has quietly lingered with audiences, transforming a lovestruck dreamer into one of the genre’s most disturbing recent figures.

The film’s runaway success has also turned much of its cast into breakout names. Alongside Hudson Johnston and Navarrette, the ensemble includes Cooper Tomlinson as Ian, Megan Lawless as Sarah Harper, and comedian Andy Richter in a surprisingly dark supporting role. For viewers who missed its theatrical frenzy, Obsession is now available on Premium Video On Demand through platforms including Apple TV and Fandango at Home, while its record-shattering performance has already helped pave the way for an officially confirmed sequel.

And with Tom Holland now joining the growing chorus of praise, Obsession’s remarkable run shows little sign of slowing down.
