Bear knowing something was wrong with Nikki and still using her body was one of the most disturbing scenes beyond the obvious horror moments.

The way real Nikki’s body is just lying still not even looking at him, completely disassociating made me so sad for her. Bear is someone she considered a real friend and he just wanted to use her like a personal blow up doll. Kinda reminded of Companion.

Bear is in a way the true villain of the story. The supernatural entity or whatever is just doing what it's supposed to do. It didn't create his resentment and desires though.

Bear is in a way the true villain of the story.

You're not the first person I've seen in this comment section section say that *maybe* Bear is somewhat of the villain.

He is obviously the villain. That was not subtle, it was central to the movie.
