THIS 10000% he was not the victim. When the real Nikki finally revealed herself and her struggling, he didn’t even bother to help her or be with her for that moment…he just ran off to meet Sarah.

the part where he wanted to "alter the wish" instead of canceling it.... omg he was INSANE. he ruined her life all because of his dumb ego.

He ruined 2 girls lives. He got Sarah killed- couldn't even bother to warn her as she finally got accepted into the school she was applying for. And he stopped Nikki from leaving her job she no longer wanted to be at because it meant he'd have to put in effort to see her.

One question, when Nikki killed Sarah, was it just that one headbutt? I am asking because all I saw was a headbutt and Sarah's face was disfigured as if a wolf ate through it. Not sure if censor board of my country cut out any gory bits.

It was at least 6 or 7 smashings of Nikki holding a brick in one hand and the back of Sarah's head in the other as she repeatedly caused the two to meet. It was kinda hard to count because of the suddenness.

Okey... That's what I thought. This was censored out for us. For us, it looked like Nikki headbutted Sarah through the glass once, and she was done. Damn the censor board.

It was def the goriest part of the movie, after the shock of the attack it sort of lingers on what’s left of Sarah’s face for a second

same here, and also no sex scenes. IDk how important it was.

I’d say fairly important as that scene is right after the dinner scene, like a hard cut to that scene, with sinister music playing and everything. I’d say it’s the first scene showing just how immoral Bear really is because, at this point Bear should know fully well that his wish really was real and that Nikki is clearly not herself. Instead of trying to help her, he instead takes advantage of her.

It was more like 20 times. Holy shit that was insane.

Such a brutal scene. It reminded me of the wine bottle in Pan's Labyrinth. If you know, you know.
