‘Obsession’ Director Officially Returns to His Roots With a Terrifying New Horror Short

Curry Barker has released *Mama Bear*, a supernatural horror short about a man confronted over an act committed by his doppelgänger. The film explores how a person can be held responsible for violence they do not remember or understand, while the victim’s distress remains real.

The short is just under five minutes and is available free on Barker’s YouTube channel, That’s a Bad Idea, which he shares with Cooper Tomlinson. Jon Lee Richardson plays Floyd, who is warned that Lacey, played by Katie Sarife, is coming to kill him; evidence suggests his double has harmed her, and she shoots Floyd when she arrives. Barker wrote, directed and edited the film, which was made with Windows and also stars Ericka Kreuz and Joshua Snyder.
