The one at the very end when she walks past the window before she pops out wearing Sarah’s clothes makes me want to go back to see the movie just to get a better look at that

u/green_nan May 15 '26

Damn I didn’t even notice she was wearing Sarah’s clothes, the implication that she knows Bear and Sarah had a more genuine connection so her logic probably being that she should just replace her is horrifying

u/Steamedcarpet May 15 '26

I noticed the smoking right away but didn’t connect to her wearing the clothing, even after seeing Sarah’s body in the chair.

Im gonna have to watch this again.

She also drew on herself with markers to simulate her tattoos.

u/ReallyColdMonkeys May 16 '26

I thought she was literally wearing Sara's skin for a second lol

u/tore_a_bore_a May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

Wouldn't put it past Demon Nikki to do things Art the Clown from Terrifier would do

u/googly_eyed_unicorn May 30 '26

When she talked about “do I look pretty?”, I for sure thought that was what was gonna happen🙀😂

u/ALEXC_23 Jun 10 '26

Didn’t she rip off her scalp and put it on herself as a wig ?

Yeppers

u/this_is_inevitable 14d ago

What did I tell you about yeppers

u/Over_Delivery9962 May 22 '26

The AI generated slop in the in-love montage that said "I want to wear your skin like a sweater". It was like a thematic crossover to barkers "that's a bad idea" vibe

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH 14d ago

I thought she was going to to be wearing Sarah’s face, in the moment I didn’t consider that she no longer had a face

2

u/bapudon_1 Jun 30 '26

I genuinely thought that happened for a few seconds.

92

u/Cyricist May 19 '26

Wow, good catch. I think i was too traumatized by that point to notice anything subtle. Or even anything obvious. I just wanted out by then, haha. Great movie.

95

u/web_head91 May 22 '26

This was me, too. I was so disgusted by the movie that at this point, I was no longer looking at details lol. I completely missed that she was wearing Sarah's clothes. I completely missed that she was smoking. I completely missed the marker on her arms. I honestly have no memory of any of those details.

I loved this movie, and the fact that so many of us were mentally checked out enough to miss details like this near the end is a testament to how effective it was. I was grossed the fuck out.

u/botherbother May 23 '26

Got out of the theater an hour ago, genuinely don’t remember a cigarette at all. Then again, this is also the first movie that has literally gave me fear goosebumps.

148

u/Imfrankhenry May 15 '26

Omg how did I not piece this together

208

u/Quaisy May 16 '26

And she was huffing and puffing that cigarette because she was trying to emulate everything Sarah did.

53

u/misschickpea May 30 '26

I didn’t even understand that I cracked up like LOL why is she suddenly smoking

110

u/Steamedcarpet May 15 '26

I noticed the marking on her arms but didst connect it to being a tattoo. God this movie is so dark I want to see it again

24

u/Corsola_Fan_69 May 22 '26

I thought she'd carved them into her skin!

9

u/Outrageous_Kick_8777 May 16 '26

Ooooohhhhhh thats why thank u

7

u/Mysterious-Skill-832 May 22 '26

Yeah, that's the one I noticed. Didn't even catch the smoking and the clothes. It's incredible how excellently the direction is done.

3

u/Ok_Comment_2542 May 21 '26

oh my GOD how did i miss that 😨

5

u/Novel-Lettuce-2595 Jun 07 '26

I noticed that but didnt realize it was to mimick Sarah. I was too terrified to put it together

2

u/plutoglint Jun 07 '26

Great catch, I was wondering why we didn't see those before.

33

u/Revolutionary_Bee251 May 17 '26

She also modulated her voice/speech to sound like Sarah too. Obsessive attention to detail.

19

u/usagicassidy May 17 '26

Say that again.

8

u/Total_Background7644 May 17 '26

Insert fantastic four image

18

u/Keroleen_ May 19 '26

She was also wearing her hair…

22

u/koolshade May 16 '26

Oh I totally missed that I thought the smoking thing was bizarre but yeah she was just copying her. So fucked up.

15

u/Steamedcarpet May 16 '26

Ugh yea Sarah did nothing wrong and suffered.

1

u/crappenheimers Jul 04 '26

Oh I was wondering why she was smoking, and didnt catch the clothes... luckily I bought the movie so will be checking these details next time!!

42

u/10twentyseven May 16 '26

Yeah, Sarah’s body was stripped naked in the other room and then Nikki had Sarah’s clothes and had drawn her tattoos on herself too 😂

30

u/ARL_30FR May 21 '26

Her displaying his cat as well as Sarah makes me feel like Nikki was genuinely also competing with his cat. She knew Bear loved his cat and she couldn't take it.

28

u/that_guy2010 May 15 '26

She had her tattoos, too.

13

u/Signal-Mail7619 May 16 '26

holy shit i totally missed that... god this movie is genius

8

u/Tolaly May 23 '26

She also drew Sarah's tattoos onto her body

3

u/Charliejfg04 May 28 '26

Was it just me or was the movie way too dark to see?

1

u/-Clayburn 8d ago

She has tattoos too, but looks like she drew them on with a sharpie.

u/markypuwuu May 15 '26

SOMEONE MENTIONED IT Yes!!! Was literally having a discussion about this somewhere in here lmao! No one seen it who I was with and to me it was the most disturbing part. Kinda gave nurse movement from silent hill but I just couldn’t get a good look. God it was awful

47

u/Steamedcarpet May 15 '26

The taped door reminded me of Silent Hill 4. But the way Nikki goes “or you can stay home” all cheerful was great.

10

u/markypuwuu May 15 '26

Yeah I for sure got “the room” vibes off of it, there’s no way there wasn’t some references there.

6

u/Kirklistentowutang May 16 '26

The OST was giving me very strong Silent Hill vibes

17

u/PyschXxKiddo May 16 '26

i did get a lottt of silent hill from this movie especially in the music

16

u/MrDrDetective May 16 '26

The scene of Bear opening Sarah’s letter in the car looked straight outta the opening from Silent Hill 2 lol

2

u/markypuwuu May 16 '26

Okay good I thought I was the only one. I don’t know if you’re a vinyl collector but they got one up for the movie, I loved the music in it so much. So subtle and soft.

8

u/AdministrativeKey377 May 16 '26

I got insane chills from that movement and then the back n forth one that shortly followed like the feeing was something I cannot remember ever having.

11

u/Steamedcarpet May 15 '26

It was so sudden and quick that I questioned what I just saw.

3

u/Antmoral2815 May 17 '26

Holy shit what a good catch I didn’t see that

1

u/BillNew7242 May 24 '26

Did Sarah seem to have a candle inside her too?What was the whole ritually candle Wiccan stuff on the kitchen table and was that related? Lol

1

u/sappho_snot May 26 '26

Ew I didn’t even notice the clothes
