this film will be triggering for anyone who has experience with domestic abuse or controlling relationships

the whole premise of the film is that bear makes a wish for niki to love him more than anyone, niki becomes obsessed to the point of isolating bear from his friends, becoming aggressive with bear both privately and in public and becoming violent with bears friends

Context: The movie is about a woman (Nikki) under the influence of a spell. Her actions under this spell are non-consensual to her actual self.

That being said, Fake-Nikki puts up with a lot from Bear, who is keeping Real-Nikki trapped. Fake-Nikki loves Bear unconditionally, where Real-Nikki wants him dead. Bear puts up with a lot of Fake-Nikki’s horrifying behavior. This question doesn’t have a clear answer for this movie, as it’s extremely interpretive (as we’re dealing with a posession trope).

If you struggle with themes of DV, this film may be a hard watch. However, the “forgiveness” this question poses has no linear, clear answer (as suggested by the close tie in yes/no votes as of 5/17/26).

Gaslighting occurs when someone is intentionally manipulated with the goal causing them to question their sense of what is real, their grasp on reality, or their sanity.

There is only one instance of possible gaslighting, when a character kills another character, and tells a third character that it is the third character’s fault. All other instances of “gaslighting” are actually other forms of manipulation, including lying, hiding the truth, wearing someone down with mistreatment.

Words are important.

No, as Nikki (the main point of horror for this film) is under the influence of a spell for all the violence she commits. In a way, the two fractioned versions of herself are both the abused and abuser, but she herself (Real-Nikki) is abhorrently opposed to the abuse by Possessed-Nikki the entire time.

Animal Death Back to Top
Yes

I'll start by saying, there's no graphic moments with the cat. At all. Early in the movie bears cat dies and you see the cat lying on the floor. It looks very fake.

At a later point Nikki digs up the cat and puts it on the floor again. Not shown in detail and again, very fake looking.

And at a later point, it's *hinted* that Nikki cooked the *already* dead cat and put it in a sandwich for Bear to eat as a way of showing love. You don't see anything aside from the sandwich.

As an animal lover who hates when animals suffer in movies, I honestly found this movie relatively manageable and at no point was there any animal suffering or animal being visibly hurt on screen.

A LOT of YES votes are incorrect here. This trigger refers to animals other than dogs, cats, and horses - these each have their own trigger. So no, no other animals die in this movie.
The category is even titled: “Does An Animal Die (Besides a dog, cat, or horse)?”

Animal Distress Back to Top

Complicated. Will include spoilers but will keep it brief.

Bear’s (MC) cat dies off screen early on. Spilled pills suggest the cat overdosed. The corpse of the cat is seen many times. The cat is made into a spectacle by Nikki under the influence of a spell. The cat is eventually turned into a sandwich and nonconsentually fed to Bear.

Abused? no...

Mutilated after death and the abuse of this dead animal turned into a spectacle? yes

The cat that dies is fake. No cats die in real life, behind the scenes, during the making of the film, which is why this category exists.

Bear finds out Nikki will be freed if and only if he dies. He contemplates suicide for this reason but ultimately does not want to do it. Major ending spoilers- he attempts suicide but then changes his mind. He ends up dying anyway because he is unable to undo his attempt for plot related reasons

Bear (MC) possesses Nikki with a spell causing her to be obsessed with him. As a result, she never leaves his house unless to be with/follow him. He completely strips away her autonomy, so one could argue it’s kidnapping.

MANY jumpscares.

SPOILER:

2) 00:44:36 sudden cut to a SA scene with loud/horrific music

3) 00:47:36 Nikki has been hiding in the corner of the room, watching Bear sleep. After a short conversation, she suddenly screams

4) 01:04:25 Nikki abruptly appears after Bear turns on the lights

5) 01:13:12 After Bear kisses her during the game, Nikki is startled and suddenly slams a bottle against her face multiple times

6) 01:18:10 Background music abruptly stops, Nikki walks backwards in a robotic manner, and stays still in the dark

7) 01:27:15 Nikki suddenly appears at the car window as Sarah and Bear are talking, it only last half a second before she kills Sarah by repeatedly smashing her head on a brick

8) 01:37:38 Nikki suddenly shoots Ian in the face

9) 01:39:13 Sudden cut to Nikki banging on a door and screaming

this is a hesitant yes. ***SPOILERS***


at the end of the car scene with Bear and Sara, there's an upclose shot of Sara's mutilated face after she's been killed, focused on her face for abt 5-10 seconds before the scene changes. there aren't any deep or obvious holes, but there's some areas of the face that do have some hole-like formations and did creep me out a little (as someone who has trypophobia)

Note that during the car scene, bear is shocked and (basically) trapped inside a car whilst his friend is being -SPOILER- murdered infront of him.

there's a fourth thing that might be triggering for people too. while a character is in the bathroom, gagging after swallowing pills. there is some fingers-down-throat leads to more gagging. White foam is shown exiting the mouth. it's spread out over several minutes lasting until the literal ending of the film.

**SPOILERS**

The one I remember is when Sarah gets her head bashed against the brick, right after she and Bear are about to kiss in the car. You can sort of hear the squelching but it's masked by the car horn.

It isn't graphic. Bear leaves Nikki home alone and she waits for him all day in the same spot. When he gets home she has vomit and other bodily fluids on herself and on the floor. Not nearly as bad as it sounds.

Nikki's depiction could be considered similar to a mental breakdown, and she does act violently and attack people during these "episodes." It is not a true depiction of mental illness, though.

Besides for the presence of magic, there are two instances where there is visual unreality. In one, a character walks backwards, appearing to “rewind” while the rest of the scene appears normal. In another, a character creeps around the back of the shot, making strange movements and appearing to be depicted in a lower frame rate, almost like stop motion.

A character is possessed. Her perception of being separate from her body and actions feels similar to dissociation.

There are also some uncanny movements that can be upsetting if this is a trigger for you. Very brief.

No. A panic attack occurs when there is no actual stimulus and someone is overcome with intense panic over the course of minutes. Characters panicking about what is actually going on around them being terrifying is not a panic attack.

Spoilers: a possessed character briefly becomes aware of what is happening around her. She panics for a few seconds, then becomes possessed again. The possessed version of her calls it a panic attack, obviously lying, to attempt to reclaim the situation. This does not look like the symptoms of a panic attack, and her reasons for being afraid are incredibly justified.

There are a few bloody/gory sequences. Most of these last about half a second to a few seconds and then cut away quickly and aren't very graphic. The most graphic part of the film is designed to be darkly comedic and absurdist, and involves a character repeatedly having their face smashed into a brick on top of a steering wheel, causing the car to repeatedly honk. The after math is shown and look very campy and fake, similar to an effect from an 80s horror movie. The filmmakers stated that they used a dummy with tubes to pump blood through it, so effective all you're seeing is a mannequin with fake blood being hit repeatedly against a hard foam brick.

Most scenes of violence feature small amounts of blood without excessive gore.

The most violent scene is designed to be darkly comedic and involves a character repeatedly having their face smashed onto a brick on top of a steering wheel, causing the car to repeatedly honk. The aftermath is very campy and unrealistic looking.

Directors have stated in interviews this effect was achieved by using a dummy with tubes inside to pump blood through. The dummy was then smashed into a hard foam brick.
