Curry Barker, the director of the hit horror movie Obsession, is considering delving into the world of video game adaptations. Despite not being an avid gamer himself, Barker mentioned on a podcast that he would be willing to explore the idea of directing a video game movie. He highlighted that video games often provide compelling concepts for films and expressed intrigue in the potential of adapting games into movies.

During the podcast, Barker discussed his admiration for the concept of turning popular video games into cinematic experiences. He specifically mentioned the game Five Nights at Freddy's as a project he would approach differently if given the opportunity. Barker also praised Zach Cregger's approach to creating a Resident Evil movie that captures the essence of the games without directly adapting a particular title.
