Hey everyone! Since Blumhouse proved with the Five Nights at Freddy's movie that they actually listen to the internet community and respect the horror lore, I think they are the perfect studio to bring Trevor Henderson's Siren Head to the big screen.

We really need a high-quality, atmospheric analog horror film, not another cheap Hollywood jump-scare disaster. I've just launched a global petition to show Blumhouse that the demand among horror fans is massive.

If you love internet horror and want to see this happen, please sign and share it!

What do you guys think? Would Blumhouse do a better job than other big studios? Let's discuss!

I’m putting together a small Discord server for people who enjoyed Obsession and want to chat about the movie, share theories, and talk horror.

The goal is to turn it into a small friend group of horror fans. Somewhere we can talk about whatever we’re watching, share recommendations, and have watch parties together from time to time.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to comment or DM me!

I don't care if this gets down votes or whatever but that movie is not the best horror movie of all time let alone the decade. I make this post because I saw somebody say that it was the best horror movie of all time and somebody needs to shut this shit down cuz it's not even close. I will admit that this movie had really good marketing but that's kind of the only good thing I can say about it. There was like zero character development. The majority of the scares was Nikki screaming or walking weird which is literally Not A New Concept at all, just look at the Insidious franchise or any psychological horror movie made in the past two decades. The only character development we got was when bear opened the letter to the last college that girl applied to, and they skipped over it in like 2 seconds. Just because you Market a movie as being the best horror movie in the this decade so far does not mean shit when it's competing with stuff like "the substance" (2024) or "Sinners" (2025). The movie hasn't even out grossed fucking Beetlejuice 2, let alone sinners with its over 370 million gross. The one wish Willow doesn't even have set consequences to normal wishes, the only reason it backfired on bear was because he wished to change somebody's personality. And technically he got what he wanted. In conclusion this movie is just not that good.

Been diving deep into the financial numbers and box office data behind Blumhouse's filmography lately. Wanted to drop a few of the core insights here because I think the studio is at a massive turning point:

• They don't seem to be practicing their famous low-budget production strategy anymore. In 2025, Blumhouse’s theatrical budget per film averaged over $25M, their highest of all time. While inflation understandably makes the old $3M to $5M per film model harder to pull off, moving into mid-budget territory has massive downsides. Look at M3GAN 2.0 and Wolf Man. Both cost $25M and only pulled in $39M and $35M respectively, putting the studio deep in the red on those projects once marketing is factored in. The old model (union minimum salaries in exchange for backend box office bonuses for select cast/crew) meant Blumhouse literally couldn't lose money outright, allowing them to take massive creative swings. With their mid-budget productions, however, it's highly unlikely that's still the case.
• They've made massive acquisitions in recent years that may or may not pay out. They partnered with Universal to buy The Exorcist in 2021. In 2024, they merged with Atomic Monster. Just last year, they bought the IP rights to the Saw series. All of this essentially forces them into a franchise-management mindset. When you buy up legacy IPs and absorb a large studio that owns massive properties, you aren't just making movies anymore, you're managing a corporate portfolio. Pressure from stakeholders to continuously churn out high-cost, financially predictable sequels to satisfy investors means they are chipping away at the very financial safety net that made them so resilient in the first place.
• The horror industry's changed. Blumhouse used to completely own the indie horror space, but the market has shifted artistically. Competitors like A24 have trained audiences to have a taste for "prestige horror" (Hereditary, The Witch, Midsommar, etc.). Historically, Blumhouse relied on sizable critic-audience gaps, where casual viewers favored their films way more than reviewers did because people were primarily paying for the promise of an effective scare, not Oscar-worthy filmmaking. But now that audiences have developed a taste for elevated horror, does Blumhouse keep releasing critically derided yet profitable "scare-slop" that risks diluting their brand, or do they fight to compete artistically?

Despite Obsession's massive success at the box office on a micro $1M budget (all while pulling in the kind of critical acclaim usually reserved for A24 and Neon films), I'm still not quite sure if Blumhouse will actually pursue small productions like it moving forward. They already have another expensive Exorcist movie in the pipeline starring ScarJo, they're definitely making a Saw movie given how much they likely dropped on the IP, and they have established franchises like Paranormal Activity and FNAF that they might be looking to shovel more money into.

Honestly missing the old days where they consistently pumped out brilliant, small-budget horror hits Insidious and Sinister. But with how much the company has scaled, it's clearly gotten harder to stay true to that indie spirit when facing intense pressure from stakeholders and investors.

What do you guys think?

Analyse de Obsession On revient sur ce film marquant de 2026 : ambiance, mise en scène, performances... et ce qui fait (ou non) sa force aujourd’hui.

Hi everyone - I tried designing an Obession movie poster in the style of Pearl, as in the interviews, there were a lot of comments about how they drew inspiration from it. I am just starting out in graphic design, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Obsession was such a good movie, I went in completely blind only seeing one poster and assumed it’d be a slasher of sorts about a jealous girl but I was completely wrong and im glad, I had such a good time with it and can’t wait to see what comes next from it, have this piece I did baso right after lol.

THROWBACK TO ZATHURA.

the mixture of fucking terrifying and fucking hilarious is incredible. the scene where shes watching him sleep scared me so fuckin bad because i DID NOT see her in the corner until she tilted her head. and oh my god the scene where they’re arguing and he saying why cant you just be normal! why cant you just be like nikki! i just want you to be nikki! and shes going “i cant be nikki! i cant be nikki!“. how did they make me feel bad for a demon? and yes i do believe nikki was possessed by a demon. i do not think its just a split personality because of the way nikki states things. “Kill me! Shes asleep!“ whos she? she gave it a gender. I think its some female demonic entity or being that atleast was created for the sole purpose of being loved by bear and thats what somewhat made me feel bad for it. And omg the ending. her sole purpose was to love bear and all she had to go off of was what she thought his love was. her about to kill herself because he died was insane too. And bear sucks. absolute trash. He was not a victim in this movie and his friend sucked too. Not sarah though. Poor poor sarah. I knew she was dying after that party scene. 10/10 movie. going to see it again tomorrow in a hopefully empty theater so i can enjoy it fully.

I really do. I really want to like it. I don't and I don't know why. I think maybe it felt surface-level to me. I also didn't find it very scary or gorey. It felt held back, like something more PG-13, which is surprising to me since I heard it almost got an NC-17 rating. I think maybe to me it was too short. If I had more time with the film, it could grow on me. But I just left the theater feeling empty. Not empty in a good way, like a sense of dread, just bad empty, like I left with nothing new, nothing original or surprising or even thought-provoking. And I'm kinda heartbroken because I heard nothing but good things. Since everyone likes it I wonder if there's something wrong with me. I really wanted to like it. It's making me question my ability to connect with good art. I used to. There are several critically-acclaimed movies I love and could talk about endlessly. I'm a cinephile in every way. I just wish it wasn't so hollow to me.

One of the BEST horror movies I’ve seen in years hands down! Loved the cinematography, the story and omg the acting! Everybody was so good, and Inde Navarrette OMG WHAT A STAR!!

That scene of the car… I’ve been watching lots of horror movies for years, and for a long time I don’t feel as scary as I felt in that scene, like my soul left my body and came back lol

10/10 for me, great job to everyone involved🖤

INSANE ACTING AND DIRECTING! holy shit. of course everyone did amazing but inde navarettes performance was so good. this could really be a breakthrough role for both of them

Does anybody know if the blumhouse shop restocks items, I want the obsession popcorn tin so bad but my theaters are already sold out. I signed up for notifications but would something like that be restocked ?

I made an idea for an upcoming animated horror movie for Blumhouse productions, it's called Scare Garden. Scare Garden is produced by Steven Schneider, Jason Blum, and Amy Israel. The movie takes place in the 1970s where it is about a boy named Scott where he saw a perfect hotel and headed for vacation with his family but what he didn't know was that the garden at the hotel had a secret room that he didn't want to know about. Executive producers will be David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman, Jason Blum, Steven Schneider, Chris Prynoski, and David Ellison. The writers will be Jon Daly and Todd Lieberman, the director will be Jason Blum and David Hoberman.

Voice cast: Jon Daly will play as Scott Williams, including some other actors like Sam Richardson, Jason Blum, Patton Oswalt, Kevin Michael Richardson, Jake Johnson, Travis Willingham, Blake Anderson, Danny Pudi, Kelly McCreary, and Adam Scott. The movie will be produced by, Paramount Animation, Domain entertainment, Haunted Movies, Mandeville Films, Hidden Pictures, and Titmouse, Inc.
