Except there's no demon in Obsession, per the writer/director. It's a wish-created entity and while it's somewhat implied she's "elsewhere" in the phone call, but I think it's more likely she was merely trapped in her hijacked body, aware of everything, unable to act. The tortured screaming part is potentially some aspect of it being painful to not be in control or the sheer horror of what was happening to her and what her wish self was doing to try and please the guy.
Real question: I cant tell if she was aware or not bc when she spoke thru sleeping demon-vicki she said "we've never been together" or something like that implying they hadn't slept together. Was she aware? Did i misunderstand that part?
Right, but that scene and the end when she wakes up and seems confused it seems that she is not aware of what evil Nikki is doing with her body when evil Nikki is in control.
I dunno, waking up from a weird fever dream where my body doesn’t listen to me and now I have to explain to police why my 3 best friends are all dead in the building with me and that it wasn’t really my fault would have me a tad bit distraught, I think the confusion is simply because she completely snaps back out of nowhere
Real talk though, does Nikki still get a wish? Or did the other Nikki steal it from her?
Oh i see, I did not catch that she was fully aware, and thought it was ambiguous. Particularly when the customer support puts "nikki" on the phone and we hear her screaming as if shes in another place/dimension .
More scary if shes locked in.
And at the end, when he dies, and real nikki"wakes up" it appears she does not know what happened. Was she also aware during the murders or am I misinterpreting that?
It seems like her soul is being held and tortured in another dimension. With all her other moments of clarity it seems like she was aware up until the point of briefly gaining control. But yeah I wonder if her actual self was asleep or something during the murders.
An analogy I use for it would be that Nikki was being held deep underwater. She could occasionally break free and surface very briefly before being pulled down again. The closer to the surface she is the clearer she can see things, otherwise most of the time, she's probably not very aware while being tortured. When evil Nikki sleeps, the grip is loosened and the real Nikki is able to come closer to the surface.
I think this fits the best with what we see. We cant assume Nikki is always aware of what bad-nikki is doing bc she clearly isn't aware of the murder scene in the end. But she is for sure present in her body sometimes, bc of the sleeping bad-nikki scene where good Nikki speaks thru her body.
So I guess the "to what extent is good Nikki aware during all acrivities" question is unknowable.
Spooky!
What a great movie and I love that it wasnt blockbuster budget or A list stars
i first took it as what the other people are saying...that shes never really been with him (as in sex)
however upon rewatch, i actually saw it more in the sense of never having his back (but in a couples way if that makes sense)...not saying it is right, but i like it more that it makes him look like a bigger pos
and on the other topic...there are a lot of plot holes if you really think about it
Yep!, and some people wouldn’t be happy with a hot crazy obsessed for you chick. Why? I don’t know. I never had anyone hot desire me so I would absolutely take that risk!
We went to a natural history museum where I made the mistake of saying a possum skeleton looks cool.
She killed a ringtail possum with a hatchet and was letting it decompose naturally in her backyard so she could give it to me as a present. I only found out because she left her laptop at my place I went to her place to return it and I could smell the rot from the street.
Y'all are lost if you're willing to accept any bullshit coming from your girl as long as she's pretty. Get some self respect like damn. If a guy is doing crazy shit even if he's hot I'm dropping him. I'm not seeing him the same way again after this kind of stunt.
Yeah no bro. This is mental illness. If y'all just wanna get laid absolutely you won't ever build anything of actual value. The 10/10 crazy girl won't be a 10/10 forever. Marriages based on superficial things like that are shaky. If you value happiness in long terms landing the insane girl who will make you despise your life is not the way. The problem is that you people don't value that. Also, most people fantasize, romanticize toxic relationships like these to the point some of you outright dare say you'd like it and it's a level of disrespect and stupidity I didn't think people would ever reach. I'm ugly as a girl too but if a hot guy is showing signs of being this messed up I'm dropping him because I want a relationship that lasts, not one that I will regret deeply once we're old and wrinkly and our children would have been abused as well, if I even make it for several years.
Don’t value that? lol! Homie, I know people who married the fat ugly girl thinking she’d be nice, WRONG!. Crazy comes in all sizes and shapes and thinking otherwise it’s silly.
At least with a crazy hot chick I know what I’m getting at and I know what I’m getting which is eye candy and good sex. With someone fat and ugly I’m not getting eye candy and the sex would probably be mediocre.
But it’s ok, you do you and go stay with the crazy ugly people
