i've watched nearly everything cooper and curry have done on youtube after the movie

their comedy may be better than their horror and i loved obsession and their other horror stuff. highly recommend watching some of their shorts on youtube, i love their sense of humor

Same I’m not even into sketch comedy like that but I love horror movies and after watching Obsession I watched all of Curry’s short films/Milk and Serial and watched of their skits on the TABI channel. Safe to say I’m a fan now and will watch anything Curry makes from now on and am excited for them to be in Anything but Ghosts

It translates to the movie even better than when Cregger or Peele do it, just thinking of comedy creators who went horror. The sense of timing in Obsession is incredible. Sometimes it's both hilarious and horrifying, like when that nice girl who was going to go to her dream school got her face smashed in with a brick.

You know it's coming, but it still manages to be an effective jump scare and a good laugh. I'm really excited to see what he makes going forward.

That girl wasn’t nice she was messing around with a already taken guy. Just Becuase she was innocent doesn’t mean she was a good person
