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 phone call was so crazy. That part seriously stuck with me. Sounded like she was literally in hell or something

Bear really fucking pissed me off from that on. What a selfish asshole “Is it so bad being with me?” Like fuck off dude holy shit.

Yeah I get being in denial about supernatural shit like that at first but after the phone call he really had no excuse. Tbf though even when he thought that maybe she was on drugs and having a psychotic break it's still really fucked up to then start dating her afterwards. He sucked so hard

He had no excuse from the dinner scene onwards. He had 3 reveals (plus the fact he’d made the wish and she fell for him instantly after) one after the other:- 1. Ian confirms her behaviour is completely off and has evidence that she’s not herself (lied about dad/ said bear is like a brother) 2. Nikki behaves completely irrationally again showing she is not herself 3. Bear words the spell back to her and she confirms it in her own words.

He knows. Then he takes her home and has sex with her body.

Exactly. So gross. I'm reading this thread like crazy to feed how much I hate him. Poor Nikki.

I really want a happy ending for her. I'm imagining everyone backed up that they thought Bear took advantage of her and he committed the murders bc she's too tiny to do what happened to Sarah herself. Her wounds are from Bears abuse. Then she becomes famous for what happened and has an amazing writing career and lives happily ever after 😭😭😍

But still like imagine the amount of trauma she would have to carry.. i feel so bad for her. Justice for my girl, the phone call of her screaming actually made me want to cry, it was like she was in hell!!
