25:00 This is such good acting from her because it's freaking me TF out 😭

izabellasmr

LITERALLY BEEN WAITINGGGG

Kripke's Corner

This movie reminded me of a Supernatural episode in season 4 where Sam and Dean had to find a cursed coin in a wishing well where people were making wishes and were coming true and one guy had wished for a girl he liked became obsessed with him.

Halima

I didn’t find the movie scary but I did find it deeply unsettling.

Sean H

One of the things I like about this movie is its not the kind of scary that sticks with you for the rest of your day

Damien

32:00 WAS THAT LIKE THE NORMAL INTERNAL NIKKI FREAKING OUT BEFORE THE OBSESSED NIKKI TOOK BACK OVER? THAT WAS SO FUCKING CREEPY

avada

Out of curiosity would you rather him upload lotr when he's excited for it without forcing the excitement? Or next week forced into being excited for it?

Damien

bro fucking relax, I'm making a joke

Jacob

I 100% agree as the movie progressed I got more and more uncomfortable 😣

Julia

I hate Bear🙄

Jacob

I feel like we also didn’t notice the foreshadowing when bear said “what they don’t work?” And the cashier saying “or it works too good and ruin people’s lives and they hope they die or end up dead” I wouldn’t have even bought it 💀

BAKUGOAT

We need a new rule, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS FOR EVERY HORROR MOVIE

BigGoochRog

Very excited for this one

Seth Brown

Now it’s time to watch the backrooms.

Damien

Nope

desmend

Must be a pain 😢

Jacob

1/10 ragebait lmao

Damien

What is

Pipst7r

Thanks for reacting to this movie, love you! :D

Carrie Schwent

Kinda the same, Im not sure which to watch first

Carrie Schwent

I was it 2 weeks ago and it is still sticking with me. Same for Backrooms

Charles Greene Jr

Well now we need to try to make him watch the evil dead movies

GothRaven

Yay...so hyped. Getting out my laptop as we speak. Been looking forward to this reaction. Yesss...

Abuzz Klanica

im really sorry for you if conjuring made you scared lol

Mas

Realll, at the start I was like ‘aw he’s cute’ but wow that changed FAST 😭

Julia

Oooh yeah! Very self centered🙄 'But do you love me'🤢

Resident_Evil_Doer

I agree with you about Bear wanting to save himself, it was never about nikki, he didn't love her he was obsessed with the idea of BEING with her. He knew from the start what was going on- because he immediately looked up the validity of the wishes after she acted off, and proceeded to ignore it THE ENTIRE FILM, that scene after the dinner was just sa, and he continued to be okay with taking away her autonomy to have his fantasy. He sacrificed everyone else for his actions and was STILL about to throw up the pills because he couldn't go through with it. I suppose she kinda saved her life but I can't even imagine the hell awaiting her with her after it, 10/10 movie. I'm Bear's #1 hater omfg

Damien

It definitely is

Pipst7r

1:07:48 I also thought they were gonna do some Smile Movie jump scare shit.

Jeremiah

Backrooms next!?

desmend

Nikki was describing her and bear in the poem she read at the party, cuz she thought of bear as a brother

Digital Alikin

Nikki screams "it's not me!!" Alex "she wants attention" 😂😭😭😭

Sam Arblaster

Idk why people call this movie scary. There is nothing scary about it

Metalhead91

Me and my cousin saw it the opening weekend and it was so amazing. It’s one of my favorite movies. It’s a great mix of horror and comedy

Aaron Holappa

Half an hour of the movie left idk how this will end but Jesus I had a girl like this once it's fuuucked

Coby Kerr

Kind of weird how u think it would feel good to have a girl obsessed with you only bcuz you want her to be practically forcing her to be in relationship with you

desmend

At the end it kinda reminds me of joker and Harley Quinn 😆

desmend

I dont think thats what he means

Halima

Nikki: IT’S NOT ME Alex: I wonder what that was about

Pipst7r

Right after Nikki killed Sarah and Bear had blood and dirt all over him, he looked like 15 years older then before, for the rest of the movie. Especially at the end

Jerry

Wtf did we just watch creepy after she has a gaming channel on YouTube look her up she killed that shit awesome movie wicked.

Dooba Dooba

I was fine with him until he still screwed her after full acknowledgement his wish worked

Dooba Dooba

He did. If you like put any effort into looking it up

LOLIVER_hd

I liked how the movie wasnt just a jumpscarefest but it gave you an unease the whole time through i was on edge the whole time like i barely could look at the movie because it was so bad😅

avada

I was being serious so many people ask for it I am just curious on their stance, my apologies

Andrew James

"guy takes advantage of girl for 1 hour and 45 minutes"

GothRaven

Here are my thoughts. Bear was obsessed with Nikki from the get-go. He was so afraid of rejection that he couldn't bear (no pun intended) her possibly not reciprocating his feelings. I felt sympathy for him for 2.5 seconds. There's awkward, and there's an unhealthy infatuation. Just the way he words things makes it a bit uncomfortable. It plays off as awkward, but saying that every song he hears makes him think of her, not being upfront or honest about his cat, and dropping everything just for her shows great immaturity. When he makes that wish, she embodies his obsession in physical form—trapping her. She said she was wasted and still brought her home. She could not consent. He ignored the problems and made excuses because he was selfish. He wanted Nikki at all costs. He assaulted her, gaslit her, refused to accept that Nikki might need help, or be held accountable for the fact that it was all his fault. Nikki point-blank asked him if he had feelings for her. He destroyed countless lives due to his lies and manipulation. Nikki's realization at the very end of what happened was gut-wrenching. She never had romantic feelings for Bear, and he took advantage of her. If I were her, I would immediately go to the nearest police station and tell them that she was held against her will, assaulted, and witnessed 3 deaths, including the person who assaulted her. She was forced to help with Sara, and she wasn't in her right mind. Which she wasn't. She didn't know anything about a wish. She took some MDMA, which could be used as the cause of psychosis, and she could plead out for reasons of insanity and get help that she will desperately need, as she will never be ok going forward.

Mel

Hey Alex I doubt you’ll see this, but I wanna say thank you so much for the cameo for my birthday! I love ur videos and they make my day better everytime. I appreciate you making the time out of ur day to tell me happy birthday! 🤗

Natphilia

right when you said that the scariest movie you have seen is the conjuring, i though to myself, "oh this is going to be a good reaction" hahahhaa

Michael Seiber

Bruh he’s 3frickn2 and hasn’t watched the one film series that his paying audience has been asking him to watch for years. So yes he needs to watch them

DropBear

I mean it’s been almost 5 years I think lol so idk what the wait is for anymore at this point. If it was a year or two maybe he wanted to get the channel bigger then release a banger LOTR event or something, and LOTR reactions are some of the biggest on YouTube, so it could’ve gotten him a lot of subs with good timing. Or idk, something marketing related. But at this point yeah idk why he’s still waiting lol. My only guess after 3 years or so was he’s planning a New Zealand trip and gonna do some cool event or whatever, but now it’s been another 1.5-2 years and it’s like okay yeah I have no fuckin idea

Taylor Gardner

maybe it's scarier for women because the idea of a man stealing a woman's autonomy and leaving her imprisoned for eternity, is fucking terrifying and VERY easy for most of us to imagine. If you mean it's not scary like the Conjuring, I'd maybe give you that but shit...

DropBear

There’s no way the cops and law and whatnot don’t just immediately label her as psychotic and put her in a nuthouse. Like what do you even do at that point, you’re screwed no matter what. I wouldn’t be surprised if she started to believe them, either. Something like that happens to you and everyone around you says you’re crazy, and you start to believe it cause what other explanation is there. Shit like that that blurs the line between reality and fiction is the scariest part about it all. Fuck that lol

DropBear

“It’s not a romance, it’s a love story” line from the start of the movie 😬😬 lmao

Shannon -

Bear is the real villain.

Sam Arblaster

Yea I’m talking in comparison to other movies. Guess I should have been more specific. I can see the real life application being scary

cdrYT

Backrooms next please?

Jade Grueter

Yay!! I can’t watch scary movies on my own, or at night. You make it feel like I’m not watching “alone”. I enjoy the plots, just not the heart palpitations. Plus you react like me, so I don’t feel weird with jump scares in front of other people 😂 Thank you 🙌🏻

SilentDangan

The conjuring is the worst thing ive ever seen not that its bad just the fear it put in my soul I couldnt sleep properly for a week

Charlton Lyon

The Cats Spirit Is Nikki. The Cat Like Movements ,Crazy screams and actions(peeing and shitting on the floor in protest) .The cat is experiencing all of this brand new but also not because it’s ingrained into Nikki’s soul and memories but also still implementing the cats instincts which are now manifesting in human feelings and actions . The cat loved Bear “more than anyone in the world”.. the wish worked and this was ALL bears fault because he couldn’t answer a straight forward question 😂😂

Slothlyke

The "Do you like me? [...] Now is the time to tell me." From Nikki was really the last stop before everything went bad. Like this was the moment he should have opened up. But the way he treated her seemed like he didn't have her wellbeing in mind at all. Like most questions and actions he made were targeted at improving his life, besides taking the pills, which might just have been an escape attempt. So Nikki being all "You don't love me" seems kinda true. Of course this is totally over the top.

Nate

bear sucks fr. the little story she wrote hits hard when u see it as her trying to express how it all is from her perspective.

Slothlyke

He already did Project Hail Mary (UNEDITED) May 15

Aiden Alvarez

Bear could of totally just wished to have to confidence to ask nikki out but he said for her to love him more than anyone in the world even just saying that without the knowledge of it being real is weird and creepy

avada

Makes sense then I only joined maybe half a year ago and noticed people were even asking then. I do love the series and the Hobbit as well I was just trying to grasp at why there was always a constant ask, that summed it up thank you

Max

cdrYT

"Overheated! Shutting Down."

Jacob

The mf saying LotR is ass or whatever is what I was referring to @damien

Damien

Oh yeah 100%

The Greatest Slowman

Are you sure that book you held up, “How to Argue and Win Every Time” wasn’t written by Nikki? She seems to have mastered that technique.

Tom Kat

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK THAT WAS? A BRISKET SANDWICH?” -Alex Hefner

StrangeSeat

even more unsettling is Nikki is wearing Sarah’s hair at the end. She scalped her and put it on to look more like Sarah. Super messed up

jake hassler

Alex you should watch The Backrooms movie next

Jay

This felt like a 2 hour black mirror episode

Iinyuchiyuu

what the fuck 😭 no movie has ever made me feel this way. i'm sweating like crazy. this made me feel SICK.

Jacob Kent

Hot take, all main characters are terrible people including Nikki. Nikki used both ian and bear for her own selfishness, Ian physically and bear mentally. Ian for not telling his friend, he knew was crushing on nikki that they had been hooking up and still trying to make it seem like bear had a chance. Bear for obvious reasons. Sarah is actually the most innocent of all of them.

Drew

Does anyone notice the editing at the end? When Ian enters the house you see him open the door and it cuts to him being in place but as if he’s been there the whole time, is this intentional ?

Sasha

First time watch, omg I hate Bear and Ian. Right when she said "What the fuck" when they first kissed, I knew her real self was still in there and that made it so horrifying. She had no agency or ability to give any consent the entire time. Not once was she the bad guy lol

The Greatest Slowman

no… no no no No No No NO NO NO DON’T DO THAT!!!! I thought we were having a nice watch along. I thought we were having a nice WATCHALAAAAAAAANNNNGH!!!!

Nate

alex got the fuck out of here and survived this horror scenario. Great job alex *edit* immediately came back and was cool with it, nevermind, poor job alex

ZachoTheGreat

Im only half way through and this is one of the funniest reactions i have ever seen. thank you alex 😂😂😂

Haw Haw

yea hard dudes the actual villain of the movie

Haw Haw

oh damn i love that theory, it works so well man i was wanting to know more about the soul or spirit or whatever that took over her body

Haw Haw

hes for sure the bad guy

Haw Haw

its a scary concept but its not like jumpscare type scary. its a different better scary

Andrew Brito

It’s not like this in the movie, think Alex edited it

Andrew Freeman

The last horror film I watch with you was The Terrifier and I still haven’t came to terms with what happened. I don’t think I’m ready to trust this after that.

Jack S.

You’re definitely right about Bear being obsessed with her. I believe we see the clues right at the beginning too. Right after the cat dies, you see Bear on the bed crying as the title “OBSESSION” is seen stitched into the bed. Right as that is happening, Bear, mid cry, says “why can’t she…”. I truly believe that he was referring to Nikki as in “why can’t she love me”. As Nikki says very same sentence multiple times in the movie in reference to Bear. Another thing to note, the pill bottle was kept in the cabinet, how did the cat get into the cabinet, unscrew the child locked cap and eat the pills? Just a thought, maybe I’m reading into it too much but it does seem like Bear utilises his trauma as a way to get Nikki’s attention which she then immediately mirrors when she says that her cat just died. She then switches up and uses her Dad “dying” as a tool to make Bear feel sorry for her and give her attention. There are so many underlying themes and manipulative traits that fly under the radar in this movie.

Drew

I just looked it does look like that, I don’t hate it by any means I was just curious.

Jake

Yeeeeeaaaa…. When I saw this in theaters I didn’t even speak for like 20 minutes afterwards.

Jake

That’s how I felt after watching this movie, this is like the first horror I’ve seen in theaters or at least in a very long time, this is the only movie I’ve seen in a long time that actually makes me feel that weird feeling at night.

1 1/2 Hours presents: Lights Camera ReAction

As I found out, after the wish, that wasn't Nikki, it was like a spirit (if you will) took over. The Nikki screaming, was the real Nikki stuck in Purgatory. So Bear basically banished the real Nikki when he made the wish. Such a great movie, & watching you & the things you were saying, had me cracking up.

Daifudo

Fun fact: the actor that plays bear (Michael Johnston) is a gay man!

Daifudo

What other movies would you consider to be scarier in comparison to this? Just because there’s a lack of jumpscares doesn’t mean it’s not scary. That feeling of unease and uncomfortableness throughout the movie is the scary part. Not knowing what Nikki’s gonna do next is terrifying. Not to mention the terrifying concept of losing your autonomy and being controlled by someone else’s selfish desires. Her standing in the corner watching bear sleep? Terrifying. Her blank expression while bear rapes her? Horrifying. Her begging bear to kill her while other Nikki sleeps? Extremely unsettling. I don’t understand how you can say the movie isn’t scary lmao be honest with yourself.

Daifudo

Romance vs love story The most fundamental difference is that romances by definition have to have a happy ending. The characters basically always end up together in either a happily ever after ending or a happy for now ending. Love stories are different in the sense that they CAN end tragically. Take Romeo and Juliet for example, a tragic love story where both of them die in the end, not a romance.

Sam Arblaster

I guess my perception of scary is different from other people. There has only been 1 movie that has made me feel uneasy and that’s Skinamarink and that’s my 2nd favorite horror movie. Not a fan of cheap jumpscare movies either. I really enjoyed Obsession, there is just nothing scary about it

Sam Arblaster

So don’t get offended that a movie you find scary doesn’t make me feel scared. It doesn’t take away from the entertainment value of the movie for me

Sean H

I mean it stuck with me for a few days in the sense that I was thinking about, but I didn’t continue to be scared of it after the movie ended. I think it’s because to have this happen irl there’d have to be something absurd like a one wish willow and you would have to decide to use it. Whereas in the movie IT, there COULD be a murderous clown running around killing people, even if it doesn’t have supernatural powers. At least that’s how I saw it

Halima

@Jacob funny how you say Nikki was using Ian physically and not the other way around. They had a mutual no strings attached sexual relationship, how is that using? And how did she use Bear mentally? By confiding in him about her reasons for quitting? Which Bear asked her? We don’t see her dumping any emotional struggles on him at all.

Max

I think there’s definitely some correlation with Sandy (his cat) or just a cat in general and the spirit or whatever took over Nikki, the way she acts, watching him sleep, suddenly screaming like ‘stay’ and stuff. There might be more or i might be reaching but idk

Daifudo

I’m not offended I’m just saying you don’t know how words work. The movie is objectively scary unless you’re a psychopath or lack basic human empathy.

Sam Arblaster

Guess that’s me, cause there was nothing scary about it. Unless you’re confusing fear with disturbance. This movie is disturbing, but not scary

Tovick

unsettling is a better way of scary then actual scary, i am a horrof fan, and while people not used find The Nun scary, its not scary at all, there is no plot. Obsession however, the unsettling, feels in a way relatable, and thats whats making you scared in your mind. And in the 2020s, unsettling works better then scary, becasue all good movie plots nowadays end in demon exorcisms, and thats terrible, i seen it all..

Brandon

Grape scene?

Jacob

I mean that’s how I interpreted the scene (minus the g)

Abuzz Klanica

bro again you have to read it from ai? really?

Carrie Schwent

I love ALL of this. Well said. I can actually picture a sequel where she show up to give advice for whoever the current main person is, maybe a woman making a wish this time. IDK, could be cool.

Nazzy Mo!

The hero of the story is the sales associate who works at the shop...I heard her loud and clear, he had a chance to not buy it 🤣

Steven McGrath

Sam trying to marry his stalker hahahahaha

Carrie Schwent

Same here, I just sat in the theater for the whole credits listening to Nikki continue to cry. Just chilling.

TheCreecher

Backrooms is coming out digitally next week I sure hope he watches that next!

Radagon

Not Alex saying he'd wish for a billion dollars at the beginning 😂

Lucas Husli

The director wanted a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ type of ending where both of them die at the end but they did one take of her crying at the end and she did so good so he kept it.

Nazzy Mo!

The Twilight Zone: The Chaser (circa 2025)....it was bugging me that I couldn't pinpoint what this reminded me of. I've always felt Rod Serling was a genius

Kripke's Corner

Everyone, when Alex posts the Obsession movie on Youtube, we should all comment on how LOTRs was more requested then any other movie and keeps his paid subscribers sad and depressed. :P

Mandy Guest

I watched this at cinema last nite I loved it but I’m gona watch it with u 2 at sum point this wkd.

Potter Crazy57

Yeah when hes in the restaurant he basically confirms shes under a spell from the wish by asking if she loves him more than anyone in the world. Then they talk about how she lied about her dad and there’s heavy symbolism in the final dialogue of that scene. She asks “why does it matter?” And instead of responding with sympathy or care or worry after realizing what he did do her, he replies, “Doesn’t matter to me.” Then the smash cut to them having sex while she’s completely blanked face. Basically that whole sequence shows Nikki saying, “yeah im under a spell” and Bear going “idgaf” and having sex with her even though he knows she doesnt have a choice. Hence his “doesnt matter to me line”

Potter Crazy57

Fun fact! The movie’s original opening scene was supposed to be Sandy the cat dead while Bear watches a romance movie in the background. But while shooting it they changed to the diner scene instead to make him come across more sympathetic in the beginning. That way we can all discover how shitty he is as the movie unfolds

Potter Crazy57

Bear is the villain and Nikki is his victim. Weird to compare yourself….

Luuk van Niekerk

I watched this in the theater,with my gf en some friends. Everyone was so freaked out, but for some reason the whole movie was not thay scary to me (could possibly have someting to do with a very toxic and jalous ex). I did really love the movie tho. Normally not a big gan of horror and ussually shit my pants. Anyone else that had this experience with the movie?

Resident_Evil_Doer

How did Nikki use bear though? From the short snippet we saw of her being normal she wasn't leading him on? I think she was innocent along w/ sarah

Nathan Fernandes

I feel like she was leading him on a little bit, but I wonder how she would've reacted at the time if he actually did just come and tell his feelings

Rineran

This was uncomfortable to watch and I love the Horror genre

Isaac

One of the best details you see at the very end is right before Nicki breaks the One Wish Willow Barr actually does try to stop himself from overdosing, proving one final time that he would choose his own desires over what was right

Christina Fonseca

The amount of time it took Alex to go from being on Bear's side (ex. him being happy during the couple montage, even though he knew a wish was forcing her to like him) to realizing Bear is the villain was very concerning.

Blaine Lewis

That's a terrible thing to say and do.

Max Larsen

banger video yet again! can you please watch ¨FURY¨ or ¨13 HOURS¨?

Devin Brown

Good movie but am I the only one that finds it lacking something? I don’t know what that thing is but it feels unfinished. Ending not as climactic as I wanted? Idk but I’m left wanting something more

Tay Tay

I love LoTR as much as the next guy. But I feel like the harder someone tells you that you must do something, the less appealing it becomes. And that's probably where Alex's heads at if I had to guess.

Tay Tay

Holy I was not expecting such a wild ride! This movie was crazy!

Eske

25 minutes in. I see we're back to alex talking over everything and missing what's going on in the movie.

Jordan Anthony

just watched the intro Its not scarier than the conjuring grant is a hype man lol. its a good movie but not scarier.

DropBear

Girls know when guys like them. Especially when there’s a gap in standards. Trust me, girls KNOW. She used him as emotional support cause he was the only guy she could speak to about important things (all while screwing Ian). That being said, it’s also on Bear for being a massive wimp and not standing up for himself and putting her on the biggest pedestal of all time. But yeah idk it was just a complete shit show all around. The only innocent one was Sarah and she would’ve had such a great life and so much fun at Luther. Her life was basically just beginning and she seemed a great girl with tons of potential, and was about to begin living her dream. Ian is at fault for _A LOT_ of stuff as well. I’ve already written an essay so I won’t get into that lol, but yeah they’re basically all a massive shit show (minus Sarah, at least seemingly). Tbf a lot of friend groups are like that — they have a lot of skeletons — but hey who knows. Banger of a movie at the end of a day and can’t wait to see what both Inde and Barker do next!!!

Joseph Dykes

She was great in superman and Lois as well

Rick

On a second watch, I like how at the Bar Scene, when Ian asked "what are we cheersing to?" and Bear answered "To Sandy" , Sarah was the only one noticing him saying that, even tho he said it very quietly and despite them being intererupted by the guy on the mic. Really shows that she actually pays attention to Bear, since she's into him.

Cole Johnston

New horror movie: “Moderate Amount of Affection”

shane coleman

17:08 he wants to give her the pearl necklace, I mean crystal necklace lol

shane coleman

1:45:25 no they dont, when they die the wish goes away so all the money disappears

ZeroEro

I feel like Alex is the kind of guy who easily gets scammed as long as you play the sad/romantic story card

Salazar79Z28

This movie was written and directed by Curry Barker which him and his friend Cooper Tomlinsion (Bear's friend Ian in the movie) started off making short videos on their channel called That's a bad idea. They are hilarious and also started making comedic horror skits as well and their video quality and scripts were always high quality. So seeing this movie and knowing who made it and acted in it, I'm not surprised at how good it was. Check out their channel and you'll know what I mean.

Setsuna22

42:21 When they're looking at the Instagram post it says "I want to wear your skin as a sweater"

Sikkersoq Jensen

Well, I would suggest Possum (2018) if you want something along the same lines but more dread. It has that overwhelming dread that I adore in horror movies. I also recommend No One Will Save You (2023) which is more adrenalin impact and panicy with that sci-fi horror tone.

Sikkersoq Jensen

Well, I think more it's "no beings" in her, but more of a blank slate of Nikki that's been forced to fufill an order. A blank canvas, which is why she also acts like a toddler. It's basically a part of Nikki that has not learned any human empathy, has no social awareness, and no concept of boundaries. Since the only thing that really loved him/he loved was his cat Sandy, it acted like that with it's behaviour, like the loyalty of a pet. It's like all social knowledge and behaviour has been erased and slapped an order onto it to fulfil Bears wish, but with no knowledge or directive guidance how to do it. The blank wish-nikki mimics what takes Bears interest. Like the headband of the waitress, she wears it when she gives him flowers. When she acts unhinged I believe it's really manifesting "Freaky Nikki" because he called her that during the high emotional moment... Except it completely misses the target of the name and she acts literally like the name. And because Bear didn't get to know Nikki properly or on a deeper level, the entity mimics what a man wants since it have nothing to go off on. Playing the hyper-sexual partner, the pristine housewife, and the aggressively protective girlfriend. When she stands in the corner at 3:45 am it's because there's a power struggle between the wish-Nikki and real-Nikki. Real-Nikki is trying to get as far away from Bear cause his wish has terrified her because she can't move, but the wish-Nikki keeps them near him. The dreams wish-Nikki is having is actually real-Nikki's thoughts and feelings because real-Nikki's brain is fighting hard against the wish coding. I also see the darkness when she's completely in the shadow while everything else is in the lights, is real-Nikki being in the void of her own mind and losing her identity to the wish-Nikki that's controlling Nikki based on the wish. Director Curry Barker and the cast has also stated explicitly that it's not Sandy possessing Nikki in an interview (it's in multiple interviews, both Instagram/TikTok clips, and in the Collider interview).

Sikkersoq Jensen

Just gonna post my theory I wrote and posted on Reddit when I rewatched this after seeing a comment about Sandy Theory. Heavy spoilers if you haven't finished watching the watch along. There is "no beings" in her, but more of a fresh new blank slate of Nikki, that has been forced to fulfill an order. A blank canvas, which is why she also acts like a toddler. It's basically a part of Nikki that has not learned any human empathy, has no social awareness, and no concept of boundaries. Since the only thing that really loved him/he loved was his cat Sandy, it acted like that with it's behaviour, like the loyalty of a pet. Except it hasn't learned any social knowledge or human behaviour, because it was erased while making a new part of Nikki for his wish with only an order slapped onto it to fulfil Bears wish, but with no knowledge or directive guidance how to do it (sorry if it sounds like I repeated myself). The blank Wish-Nikki mimics what takes Bear's interest. Like the headband of the waitress, she wears it when she gives him flowers. When she acts scary I believe it's really manifesting "Freaky Nikki", because he called her that during the high emotional moment, and it's a mix of Real-Nikki thoughts and emotions bleeding into Wish-Nikki actions, which cause it to completely miss the target of the name and it acts literally like the name. And because Bear didn't get to know Nikki properly or on a deeper level, the entity mimics what a man wants since it have nothing to go off on. Playing the hyper-sexual partner, the pristine housewife, and the aggressively protective girlfriend. When she stands in the corner at 3:45 am, I think its because there's a power struggle between the Wish-Nikki and Real-Nikki. Real-Nikki is trying to get as far away from Bear cause his wish has terrified her as she is no longer control of herself, except for small moments, but the Wish-Nikki keeps her near him. The dreams Wish-Nikki is having are Real-Nikki thoughts and feelings, because Real-Nikki's brain is fighting hard against the wish coding. It's a clashing of two identities fighting for control and merging together whenever Nikki acts weird/walks weird/is unhinged. I also see the darkness, when she's completely in the shadow while everything else is in the lights, is Real-Nikki being in the void of her own mind and losing her identity to the Wish-Nikki that's in control. Director Curry Barker and the cast has also stated explicitly that it's not Sandy possessing Nikki in an interview (it's in multiple interviews, both Instagram/TikTok clips, and in the Collider interview).

Not Alex saying why do i instantly relate to bear. me thinking of “what’s so bad about being with me” scene

Megan Adams

The cinematography, lighting and sound design were so amazing! It’s great to see indie film makers breakout into the scene

GutPoacher

I would've said the same thing if this was the first video I ever watched of him, but... it's Alex bro

GutPoacher

The creator Curry Barker said that the money remained there after his death in an interview

Did anyone else feel like they were in a toxic and abusive relationship while watching this movie

Something I realized only after watching this movie and contemplating it, is the potential purpose of Bear's name. You guys know that popular question regarding r@pe/assault? "Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?" In that context, I feel like the name becomes so fitting, as well as an oxymoron considering what kind of person he turns out to really be. In the beginning, when we don't know him very well, he gives off that awkward nice-guy™ energy who just has an intense crush on a girl. He's the sweet teddybear people confide in, the arguably "best" selection in regards to the man VS bear discussion as indicated by his name. But his name and his sheepish personality is just him being a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's ultimately still the "man" in the man vs bear scenario regardless of how you try and sugar coat it, and his actions throughout the movie showcase it too. Like okay yeah was an idiot most of the time, but he wasn't truly clueless to what was happening either. He DEFINITELY knew she wasn't herself after he made that wish; the moment he did that google search is when I knew HE knew it wasn't "real", but he continued to lie to himself and pretended it was true love for his own selfish fantasy. Also the scene where he's asking "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE NIKKI???" strengthens my belief that he never loved her for her. He loved the idea of her, the idea of a relationship with her, but it's like you said: he never actually cared about what she was going through or what she had to endure, he only cared about how it affected him. "what's so bad about being with me?" being his first question when she begs him to kill her was just diabolical bruh, if that wasn't a red flag in people's radar then idk what to tell em

GutPoacher

Alright Potter let's not play stupid now, they're obviously not comparing themselves to Bear; they're just saying they were in a relationship with someone obsessed with them once. Stop nitpicking for problems dawg

GutPoacher

Her acting erratic because she potentially took the nickname Freaky Nikki the wrong way based off of what little social skills she has (mixed with real Nikki's mixed thoughts) is such an interesting concept! It reminds me of I think volume 3 of Mandela Catalogue, when the protagonists of that volume are talking to an "alternate" on the phone that's mimicking a woman who wants them to babysit her cat at her home. The alternate misinterprets them saying "we can come tonight" as "we can come two night" so it replies with "can you do three?", implying early on that they're not the real lady.

Sikkersoq Jensen

Oh that's a nice comparison! But then on Reddit after theorising a bit, it seems more possible that Real-Nikki consciousness was hidden away, and Wish-Nikki took over, but since Wish-Nikki doesn't have any memories of how to act and be, she acts erratic, like after they had sex. She's literally traumatised, Real-Nikki only saw Bear as a little brother and from how she checked up on him during the time they worked together, I think she genuinely cared about him. And then for this sweet boy she thought she knew to take advantage of her body after realising it's not really her terrified her. It's like it's Nikki not understanding why she's so scared and freaking out, trying to get as far away from the man she "loves" and she doesn't understand why. She tries to hide her expression because she's genuinely terrified. It's Real-Nikki thoughts and emotions are so strong that they affect Wish-Nikki. Like Wish-Nikki is a whole new person who's only prompt is to love Bear more than anything in the world, that's why she's constantly anxious, aggressive and manipulative towards Bear. That and Wish-Nikki is definitely heavily influenced by Real-Nikki subconscious and that's why Wish-Nikki doesn't understand why she freaks out. Someone said maybe some of Bears obsessiveness was in Wish-Nikki mind, that's why she suddenly shows up at the car when Bear and Sarah was in it, and only showed up when Sarah mentioned she was supposed to have that kiss. She can literally feel Bear's love is slipping. Someone else said the memorial thing is possibly due to the voodoo stuff that was shown along the One Wish Willow. This movie is so much fun theorising about. I love it.

You definitely make a case for Nikki using Bear mentally and stringing him along with some of things she said to him. She also knew he had a crush on her and then screwed his friend not because she liked him or anything she could have done that with anyone else. Ian was POS for doing that as well. But at the end of the day, if Bear just said how he felt he could have moved on if she declined him which she probably would have, and her and Sarah were the ultimate victims of this all.

R3MIX

Super super late, but Alex if you read this, during the shower scene when Bear was talking from the outside when he brought up cooking the cat, a lot of people didn’t catch it but he said “we TALKED about this” insinuating that she has tried to cook it before

Zack Hischar

When is this going on the tubes Alex?

Justin Russell

This movies gotten me in so much trouble😅 I did not find this movie scary or tense whatsoever. Not a bad movie but way too overhyped, especially when I called him dying by the end 20 minutes in and once she said I made lunch I thought “boy bout to eat cat carcass” total kudos to Curry Baker for making his exact vision!! I can’t wait to check out his other projects, but this one just did not make it with me. It’s basically The Possession from 1981.

Logan Stauffer

Well nobody does karaoke sober lmao and u don’t drink Alex

xxtccyunno

man ive been in my guitars for a while and this movie caught me out of nowhere on my trip to chicago i stayed up watching reactions back to back man amazing movie amazing actors

xxtccyunno

the more i watch this the more i realize bear is jss horrible almost like he wanted to jss use the wish instead

xxtccyunno

i watched evil dead 2015 when i was younger pitch blzck like 2 am at night on my phone headphones on lmfao never again

Cadavercat

So grateful I could watch this with Alex and you guys, I have no one in my life who will watch these with me, and I'm terrified to watch alone LOL

Cadavercat

You might like Amanda the Jedi's review of the movie, she also didn't fault him for his dumb wish, but every other choice was 100% his fault. As usual love your reaction <3

xxtccyunno

finally someone who realizes fucking bear is the true monster

Cam

Alex putting stuff up on screen for YouTube but we can't see it so he's just silently staring at the camera is absolutely frying me 😭✌️

OvaltineJenkanz

Dude you would love the sketch shit that got these kids famous. Curry (the director, and creepy phone voice guy) and Cooper is Ian. Thatwasabadidea is their name. Hilarious.

Vale rodriguezcalderon

There’s an Owen Wilson movie called *No Escape*, and it’s so good because it keeps you anxious the entire time. It would be great if you watched it, Alex.

BrianHobbit7

Bear was the one who was obsessed

Jeremy Montanez

Funny reaction but disappointed that you didn't see Bear was the villain right after the restaurant scene where he is graping her. You were too sympathetic to his character by far but not as bad as some of the reactions on here where I literally unsubscribed to them. I don't think I've hated a character on screen like I do Bear but I saw he was a creep even before this scene. The reaction itself was so funny but difficult sometimes because none of this is Nikki's fault. He destroyed her life and the Nikki we saw that was so bubbly, kind, cute walk, beautiful smile is gone for good. He's the villain he was selfish and didn't care about her she saved herself by making that wish.

Rocketboy

First time watching, that was great BUT I have so many questions about the actual wish willows. Who was talking on the phone ? How could he pass the phone to her when she was actually standing still in the house all this time ? Great movie

Rocketboy

This is such a great example of why all the « I can fix her » guys are wrong lmao

Zack Hischar

I absolutely loved this reaction and your breakdown of this. One of the biggest things for me that had me realizing bear was the villian was the scene right after the restaurant scene. When he legit r**ed her. Him saying doesn’t matter to me and then immediately doing that. Like ew that’s horrific. Also the bed scene when he was like. “What’s so wrong about being with me” I loved you immediately was like dude this isn’t about you. That was sickening of him like no you created this thing where mikko is literally a prisoner inside of her own body watching you take advantage of her in every try horrific way you could. Also when she is at her door and she says “that’s not what I’m saying. (I didn’t take advantage of you). and then says YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME with a more forceful and angry sounding voice was crazy to me too. Also curry barker former/current youtuber btw was the voice on the phone when he asked to alter the wish. AND TABI is a way of curry and Ian’s actor cooper of including the name of their youtube channel lol. TABI being that’s a bad idea. Where they were releasing comedy sketches and horror shorts until this movie came out :)

calum anderson

All could have been avoided if this lil pussy asss bitch bear would just say how he felt at the start of the movie when she literally fucking gave him the chance. Although i don't fully blame him as who tf expects some weird vodo wish trinket to actually work and better yet have some crazy maniacal side effects, all in all bears a pussy. 😌

Lil j

Personally I think she did have feelings for him at the start, body language, the way she talked to him, her small confession abt him being the one she can talk to, and then on the phone earlier she wanted to tell him something but then paused for like 20 years before saying she’s putting her 2 weeks. He fucked HARDDD he should have just told her how he felt and I think that the outcome wouldn’t be that bad.

Lil j

It wasn’t that bad honestly, I don’t think the movie really showed that it wasn’t the real nikki until later on

Lil j

I mean that’s pretty terrifying to think of a girl doing that to me man

Lil j

He’s saying that’s how the girl acted my guy, ur taking it too serious with the movie plot

Christina Fonseca

The movie made it pretty clear early on that the wish caused Nikki to like him. Wether someone thinks it's the real Nikki or not doesn't matter, Nikki doesn't get a choice either way because the wish forced her to like Bear.

Eilish McLennan

I loved Superman and Lois and she was great in that too, she had a bi storyline that missed the mark but besides that

Lewis Ramos

When this movie started blowing up I had sworn I seen Niki in something before and when I finally remembered, I was dumbfounded by it being the cws Superman and Lois 😂 she’s was amazing in that show and I can’t believe how amazing she was in this damn movie

Akasha Eyre

This is one of my favorite reactions to this film! I just watched the movie about a day ago & then saw that you uploaded a reaction & was like, “Oh… this is gonna be good!” If you liked this movie, there’s another movie that I don’t see a lot of people reacting to called, “May” (2002). Similar vibes to this movie but it’s starring a woman named Angela Bettis who played my favorite version of Carrie White in the made-for-tv version of “Carrie” which also came out in 2002. Also, whoever wrote this script is hilarious. This is the first time in recent history where women won’t be choosing the Bear🤣❤️

BBaDYa

After watching this reaction, I fear for Alex's wife

Reaction Jackson

Investors wanted Curry to rewrite the film to make Bear more sympathetic; they didn't get it, and thankfully he stuck by his vision. He is the villain.

Andre Sanchez

It’s a good movie but it’s way overhyped. When you’ve seen enough horror films and I mean like a lot, you can easily say it’s been done before. Again, it’s good
