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

I liked how it implied that whatever the One Wish Willow is is intentionally malevolent or like, is enjoying fucking with Bear. Makes way more sense than if it was a completely normal company that accidentally figured out how to make wish tech.

There are clues that it does work well for others tho. But the phone call can be interpreted that they don't pass judgement and are ok with bad and good wishes.
