SPOILER ALERT: This article contains minor spoilers for “Milk & Serial,” available to watch now on YouTube.

Curry Barker has delivered the most unlikely hit of the year.

The filmmaker and comedian is the mastermind behind “Milk & Serial,” a 62-minute horror film about YouTube pranksters who get caught up in rapidly escalating crises that ideally aren’t revealed in advance. Made for just $800, the film stars Barker and his comedy partner, Cooper Tomlinson, who is also a producer.

The duo primarily posts sketch videos on their TikTok and YouTube channels “that’s a bad idea,” while occasionally showing off other projects, such as Barker’s viral 2023 horror short film “The Chair,” which has been viewed over 5.5 million times on the latter. After considering working with a distributor for “Milk & Serial,” Barker decided to drop the full-length film on YouTube on August 8. It has since been viewed over 323,000 times (as of August 26) and has sparked much discussion on horror fan hubs like Reddit, YouTube, and #HorrorTok.
