God damn, this was an unsettling movie. Really enjoyed it.
I actually had to turn it off halfway through and then revisit it the next day in the daylight. My wife asked "are you scared?" and I was like "not really scared, just deeply unsettled."
Yeah, it's really not scary at all, the premise is just so silly. But the execution is so morbid and handled with such attention to detail as to drive it home anyway.
Spoiler
The way Bear ends up dying in what is basically a reenactment of the way his cat dies at the beginning of the film, with him taking the cat's place, and Nikki taking his place... Jesus. What even do I do with this? I guess the magic behind the One Wish Willow is omnipotent, or otherwise able to tap into Bear's private memories to torture him to his last breath? Anyway, what the fuck... Gotta hand it to whoever came up with all that.
Was i the only one who thought the movie was gonna end by both of them getting trapped and then they would remain eternally tortured souls trapped inside the bodies controlled by some stupid wish supernatural thingy.
I was getting “Chat GPT falling in love with Claude” vibes in this moment.
I like the way it ended, especially when viewing it as a fable about controlling behaviour and "nice guys" since he gets just up and leave (in a way) leaving her behind to deal with the aftermath and the trauma for the rest of her life.
I like that the movie criticised the niceguy type. Or rather the whole dating scene. The whole thing started cause his "friend" didnt tell him they were casually fucking and then while the wish wasnt something he couldve expected to work, he then repeatedly fell back into a horrible relationship with her and even while knowing kinda soft-raped her. He also dragged the goth girl through a bunch of shit and caused her(absolutely fucking horrible but narratively beautiful) death. He then did kinda save the main girl but left her with all the trauma and shit as you said. Still, id say the highlight of the movie is easily the goth girl getting murdered. I never want to get close to that scene ever again cause its just so narratively, emotionally and also visually disgusting. Its the only time that i hated a jumpscare not because its unneccesary but because i got disgusted from it. Color me impressed by obsession.
I get what you’re saying but it wasn’t soft-rape: it was just rape, he didn’t know it at the time and when he discovered he just didn’t care about it
I cannot find a word to describe how much I despise that character
I mean at first it was soft-rape, at the very beginning he didnt know it wasmt her and it was sorta just weird sex where as a grown adult you should say im not gonna take part in this because im not sure youre in a state to consent. After he finds out its just straight fucking rape.
