@filmenthusiast: There's a detail buried in Obsession that recontextualizes basically every strange thing Nikki does, and horror TikTok has been dissecting it for weeks. Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette, never looks at herself. The theory going around is that the curse from Bear's wish on the One Wish Willow only loosens its grip the second she catches her own reflection, the side mirror right after the wish happens, a glass bottle at the party, the mirror facing the bed while she sleeps face down. Once you clock that pattern, the weirdest stuff in the film stops feeling random. Why she refuses to use the bathroom. Why she smashes the one mirror in there. Why she holds a vase up while walking backward through a corner she otherwise avoids entirely. It reframes the whole performance too, less like random possessed behavior and more like something calculating that's actively working to keep the real Nikki from ever seeing her own face again. Curious if this was intentional on Curry Barker's part or just a very sharp read from fans connecting dots that were already there. Either way it's the kind of detail that makes a rewatch feel completely different.
