For A24’s buzzy Backrooms, age seems to be a sticking point. 

Much has been publicized about Kane Parsons being the youngest filmmaker to helm an A24 title, even sparking debate online as to how involved the director was on his own project. Yet cinema, and horror in particular, has a sturdy track record filled with maverick young filmmakers forging new ground in the genre.

So much so that Kane Parsons isn’t the first teen horror filmmaker, nor the youngest. 

Need proof? Meagan Navarro (@HauntedMeg) has rounded up seven horror movies that hail from directors who made them before reaching the age of 25. In fact, these films marked the start of ongoing careers.

Obsession opens in theaters TONIGHT.

"Curry Barker wrings blood-curdling terror from a classic Monkey’s Paw wish fulfillment scenario in Obsession," writes Bloody Disgusting's Head Critic Meagan Navarro. "A simple, well-trodden concept transforms into a shocking and unsettling descent into abject horror in Barker’s capable hands, ensuring that his latest is destined to become horror’s latest, well, obsession."

Meagan's review continues, "Inde Navarrette quickly becomes Obsession‘s not-so-secret weapon in this increasingly disturbing masterclass of wish-fulfillment horror. Curry Barker amplifies Nikki’s erratic and increasingly violent behavior with chilling atmospherics and smart direction. Obsession is one freaky movie, especially in the night sequences that see Barker turn his romantic lead into a boogeyman."

"Obsession takes you on a wild ride," Meagan adds. "It’s one insane journey paved with blood-soaked violence and no shortage of nightmare fuel. Barker puts his stamp on the wish-fulfillment subgenre with frightening flair."

A few years ago, my brother randomly gifted me with a death whistle for my birthday, mere months before WHISTLE was announced. Always thought the timing was weird! Now that the movie is out this weekend, enjoy the spotlight, little death whistle.
