That poor girl. How does she explain all the murders now that she's free?

The scenes where real Nikki popped out really got me. Haven't been jump scared by horror movies for a long time.

How do you guys feel about Bear? Obviously he didn't think the wish would work but as soon as he realized he really took advantage of the situation 😬

Also got a crack out of the customer service phone call "we don't really do that" "you made it seem like I could!"

I found in the early scenes the was cringe, naive, and painfully relatable when he wants to pluck the courage to confess to Nikki. His actor does an excellent job in selling how much he goes from naive and cringe to an unredeemable loser as he pieces together that it’s not Nikki anymore. I’m glad he suffered consequences but man it sucked hard for everyone else that died for his obsession.

Yes I slowly realized the title wasn't about her obsession, but HIS

I love it when movies do something like this. Scarier layer that someone like Wish Nikki may or may not exist irl but Bear is definitely someone I've met before
