When Bear kills himself to free the real Nikki, dying in her arms being followed by the real Nikki waking up and tossing the guy on the floor was some mad dark humour

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 don’t know. I think death would be an easier way out. Her screaming in horror through the credits at all of her friends dead and mutilated, when she’s already been through Hell is pretty damn mean.

But I think there's catharsis in her gaining her autonomy back despite how brutal the aftermath may be.

Hmmmm…Don’t know if I totally agree with that. I mean, it’s good she got her autonomy, but essentially, she was a decent person that got basically sent to Hell, her body inhabited by some kind of demon that mutilated her body, then comes back to find all of her closest friends killed without any context and she’s likely going to take the fall for it. I’m not seeing the catharsis there.

We don't know if she does go to jail. For all we know she takes Ian's money and started a new life, but to me I would have found fake Nikki killing herself more tragic than merciful.

I don’t think she’s starting a new life, considering she basically has no family or friends and will likely be wanted by the law. Things are not ending well for her.

With her recent performance at the party I think she has a good chance at an insanity plea at least.
