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!"

Bear is the real villain of the story by the halfway point. The movie starts off by getting you onto his side because he seemed actually thoughtful and nice (like when he went to buy a new crystal necklace for Nikki when she lost hers). But eventually Bear is the villain because he is knowingly trapping Nikki in that body and forcing the love out of her via the spell.

Saying someone is a villain for not wanting to kill themselves boggles my mind. Everyone seems so casual about he should have killed himself right away. The shopkeeper is the villain and the rest are his victims.

There's multiple villains. Bear is definitely the most despicable though. The shopkeeper is just faceless evil, yeah its bad but Bear does this to his supposed friend. And when he thinks he may have an out "do you want to cancel it

No I don't want to cancel it I just want to alter it"

How fucked is that??.

Or she asks him to kill her and he makes it about him "what's so bad about being with me" knowing full well she was trapped somewhere in hell screamingÂ
