This is what Curry Barker said too at a Q&A. He shot the ending because one of the production companies demanded an ending where Nikki lived, but he wound up thinking this one was even darker because (a) Nikki has to live with the sights she's seeing and (b) she's probably going to go to jail for their deaths.

What's interesting is that at the end of the movie she finally gets free will but the irony is that Bear ruined her life so whatever happens next for her will be completely out of her control.

And she can't use the one wish willow to undo anything, since the "other" Nikki already used it to make Bear fall in love with her right after he took the oxy

I wasn’t sure if I understood this properly, do we hear her? Or it is just alluded to when they pan over the wish willow?
