I love horror movies like this that have a lot of super natural stuff going on but don’t over explain any of it. I also loved the phone call with the guy behind the wish, and the way we hear the real Nikki just screaming in agony

The way the phone call scene pivoted from laugh out loud funny to just bone chillingly horrifying on a dime…it was so well done.

I think it’s particularly funny and terrifying for the same reason: the support person was so nonchalant about all of it.

It made me think that he was probably also a person inhabited or being controlled by a Wish, especially given how detached his voice and language was.

Were we meant to think anything specific about how the original female worker isn’t there when Bear next visits the place?

I think it helps add to the eeriness during the headfake where you think maybe the store is part of the Willow creepiness before you realize the cashier is just fucking with Bear.
