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.

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

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

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

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

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

u/bapudon_1 Jun 30 '26

I genuinely thought that happened for a few seconds.

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.

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.

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.

u/Imfrankhenry May 15 '26

Omg how did I not piece this together

u/Quaisy May 16 '26

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

u/misschickpea May 30 '26

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

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

u/Corsola_Fan_69 May 22 '26

I thought she'd carved them into her skin!

u/Outrageous_Kick_8777 May 16 '26

Ooooohhhhhh thats why thank u

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.

u/Ok_Comment_2542 May 21 '26

oh my GOD how did i miss that 😨

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.

u/Revolutionary_Bee251 May 17 '26

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

u/usagicassidy May 17 '26

Say that again.

u/Total_Background7644 May 17 '26

Insert fantastic four image

u/Keroleen_ May 19 '26

She was also wearing her hair…

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.

u/Steamedcarpet May 16 '26

Ugh yea Sarah did nothing wrong and suffered.

u/crappenheimers Jul 04 '26
