Directed by Albert Birney (Strawberry Mansion) and co-written with Pete Ohs, OBEX takes us back to 1987. There we find the reclusive Conor, who becomes obsessed with a mysterious video game called "OBEX." The more Conor plays OBEX the more the lines between reality and the game begin to blur.
Birney stars alongside Callie Hernandez, Paisley Isaacs, Frank Mosley and Tyler Davis.
OBEX is in US cinemas from January 9th, 2026. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
In pre-internet 1987, Conor and his dog Sandy live a life of seclusion, lost in the slow-rendering graphics of early Macs and televisions aglow with late night horror movie marathons. But when he begins playing OBEX, a new and mysterious, state-of-the-art computer game, he finds himself trapped in a low-tech, but high-stakes analog hellscape as the line between reality and game blurs.
