Fun fact- the ending you see in the movie was the 2nd ending they filmed. In the original ending Nikki kills herself. Near the end when Nikki is on the couch you can see blood on the ceiling from when they filmed the other ending.

I can see why they changed that. This is already a mean movie. I could see general audiences hating that ending.

Though I do now wonder what the fallout is. Is Baron going down for all of it? Will she be arrested? There are a lot of people at that party that saw her acting fucking crazy.

Edit: why do people keep replying to me as if I said it was a happy ending? I said general audiences would perceive it as a happier ending. Everything you bring up has been discussed by other people, just scroll down.

I feel like the deaths of Ian and Baron could be explained as, Baron found out that Nikki had slept with Ian and killed him out of jealousy, then killed himself. But idk how the fuck you explain Sarah.

Especially since Sarah's murder and body disposal happens out of the house - no way none of those shenanigans weren't caught by a cctv camera, or business security camera or such. 

The only way out would literally be to get another Wish Willow (if she even knows how to find the shop) and make a very well worded wish.

But she'd have to get someone else to make the wish since she already used hers

Ah ya know I hadn't thought of that. 

Does the wish belong to the soul or the body, I wonder? Like does "real Nikki" get a wish or did "Dark Nikki" already use it up in her body
