Obsession
Obsessed.
Im obsessed with so much about this film. First of all, fuck Bear. If you watch this movie and think Bear is the good guy and Nikki is the obsessed one you need to rewatch it. How Bear instantly says "You came onto me." when they first kissed and the real Nikki came out for a second to distance himself from any responsibility and wrong doing, how when the real Nikki is begging for him to kill her to free her, (from what I assume is like a sunken state/place like from Get Out),and instead of asking how to help or talking to her in any good way he asks "Is being with me so bad?" and even almost not killing himself before fake Nikki's wish takes over. The actress for Nikki's character, Inde Navarrette, gives a generational performance that had me on the edge of my seat waiting for what happens next. The hiding in the shadows, moving backwards, screaming and yelling, and even her presence when she isn't there. When Bear is talking to Sarah in the car you know fake Nikki is on her way, even though its not shown or told to the audience, and that its only a matter of when she gets there and even with knowing what happens after she arrived still had me shocked as ever. The audio and cinematography were amazing, I loved how the camera moved and zoomed in certain scenes. Only flaw for me is the movie being a little slow at the start, and while yes its adds tension and makes the later scenes feel stronger, the reveal of the wish being true and taking over Nikki happens fairly early and you still feel it being a tiny bit slow. Does not even come remotely close to ruining the movie though. Was a big fan of Curry Bakers skits on youtube and am super excited for future movies by him. Youtubers making good horror movies have been an unexpected great surprise and Im looking forward to all thats to be made.
