New Horror Short 'Mama Bear' from 'Obsession' Director

Curry Barker, the director who brought us the hit horror film Obsession, has just dropped a new short horror film on YouTube, and it’s already generating buzz. Titled “Mama Bear,” the nearly five-minute video promises a pretty unnerving experience, so fair warning, folks, it gets a little graphic. But if you're in the mood for something genuinely scary ahead of Halloween this Saturday, this is definitely one to check out.

Barker has put his Midas touch on this one, handling the writing, directing, and editing himself, as noted in the video’s description. The short was published on his dedicated YouTube channel, “that’s a bad idea.” Interestingly, the description gives a shout-out to Windows for “sponsoring this short film,” hinting at potential collaborations or interesting production backing. Barker himself was also featured in an Instagram video earlier this week, further amplifying the anticipation for his latest work.

This release is a treat for horror enthusiasts looking for a quick, impactful scare. Barker has a knack for creating atmosphere and tension, and “Mama Bear” seems poised to continue that tradition. It’s always exciting to see directors from successful feature films experiment with shorter formats, especially on platforms like YouTube, which allows for wider accessibility. So, grab some popcorn (or maybe don’t, given the graphic nature) and prepare to be spooked by “Mama Bear.”
