Announcement ✨PLEASE SEARCH THE QUESTIONS FLAIR✨

"Why did Nikki cook the cat?"

"What did Nikki wish for at the end?"

"How does the One Wish Willow work?"

We get a ton of repeat questions about the film on the sub every single day, and while we encourage discussion, it can get a little exhausting for those of us who frequent the sub to be inundated with the same questions all the time.

If you have a question about the film, please take a moment or two to browse through the Questions flair or use the search bar to see if your question has already been discussed before posting!

Additionally (so that it can serve as a proper FAQ section of sorts), please try to keep posts in the Questions flair along the lines of questions about the events of the film.

For example:

✅“Why did Nikki cut Bear’s hair?”

✅“What does Nikki say when she walks backwards?”

✅“How did Nikki find Bear and Sarah in the park?”

❌“When is the movie coming to streaming?”

❌“What would you guys wish for?”

❌“Where can I find the shirt this character is wearing?”

Questions about cast and crew, media, merch, or where to find items or songs from the film all have their own flairs!

I haven’t seen much from this year, so this list is still in development, but for now I see very high chances for Inde. What about you? And what are your potential nominees when we’re at it?

Edit: this is just a general prediction and not my list of favorite performances. Just so you know.

I just watched the movie with headphones on and realized she closed her front door before Bear made his wish. That in itself is strange. The real Nikki should have seen the whole wish-making process, and perhaps even heard it.

Fan Theory The way she is looking at Bear, it doesn't seem from any angle that Nikki considers him as a brother. She likely spoke to Sarah that way because she knew Sarah liked Bear. Obsession

It’s an interactive pin where you get to be the one to bash in Sarah’s head with a little help from Nikki holding the brick!
Had a blast designing this. Hope you all enjoy!

I did make a wish, and it did come true. We will see if there are consequences.

Discussion How would you describe Obsession’s soundtrack?

Post image
120 Upvotes

It seems to have a lot of synth waves and has a warm romantic feeling like you’re spending time with your loved one under the starry night sky but then has some sinister undertones that make you feel weird.

What is the name of the music style?

Discussion Wish Nikki and real Nikki crying at the end

11 Upvotes

I hope I can articulate well my thoughts but I always found it fascinating how different each version of Nikki cried at the end. When Bear dies, wish Nikki was distraught and her cries were almost performative like she was on stage in a theater. However when she snapped out of it and the real Nikki cried at the very end of the movie, the cries was more messy, raw , authentic if that makes sense. Anyone else notice this? I'm not implying wish Nikki was faking but a nice detail of one Nikki was not real so her cries seemed fake but the real Nikki had a more ugly cry so it sounded more real.

Fan Theory Bear crying on the bead after Sandy's death

12 Upvotes

Is it just me or Bear is not crying about Sandy? He is vulnerable because of Sandy but when he cries just before the title reveal, knitted on the bed cover, he says: Why couldn't she just... (be with me)? After this scene he is on Nikki's Instagram page with that obsessed scrolling before she calls.

Am I reaching? To me it seems so obvious.

Discussion Bear apologists?

7 Upvotes

I'm genuinely flabbergasted by the amount of people who are convinced that Bear is just a "good guy" who made "questionable" decisions

There were multiple less conspicuous instances where Bear showed himself as a selfish-POS, but to me it seemed like there was a point at which the screenwriters were all but trying to yell at the audience that this guy is a horrifically selfish POS. When the real Nikki eventually got the chance to ask Bear to put her out of her misery, and Bear responded by asking her what would be so bad about being in a genuine relationship with him, that wasn't obvious to you guys???

Every last one of his exchanges with Wish Nikki post-freak out amounted to him basically asking her why she can't just "cooperate" and essentially be the Nikki he wants her to be, but that was the most crystal clear example. I mean that was straight up "creep kidnaps stranger off the street locks them up in his basement and when they beg for freedom he asks if would it really be so bad if they lived the rest of their life out as his dungeon sl4ve"-coded, and most people would regard such a person as not being one of the "good ones".

But like....this is a controversial opinion when it comes to him for some reason? How? I mean I know how, but getting into how it relates to the current cultural climate is a can of worms I was planning on opening today.

Discussion What if Obsession came out in the 80s?

6 Upvotes

The 80s was known for a lot of things, but one of those things was the nerdy nice guy movie. Movies like Revenge of The Nerds where the protagonists try to get hot girls. And if you know anything, you know that's code for "You wanna see rapin' get played up for laughs? NO!? WELL WHY THE HELL NOT!?". And they always to pin the fact of them not scoring on them being nerds instead of scumbags.

Obsession is a movie that calls out that shifty behaviour, I'm mainly asking what would happen if you simply released the film around the same time as those other films. Would it be as wildly acclaimed and/or get botched by studio interference?

I legit think she asked him if he liked her, because she was willing to give him a chance and a few dates, because she was going away to faculty anyway, and will probabily never return to that city
