“which scene in Obsession gave you the chills? the backwards walking? the uncanny valley sleeptalking Nikki? Sarah getting murdered?"
actually it was the first time when Nikki became conscious after the wish. you know, when she was outside Bear's car, talking nonsense about the cat and she suddenly snaps into consciousness and goes "wait what the fuck?"
it wasn't enough to scare me but it was so fucking unnerving. especially if you know what's happening and what's coming, which i did.
like imagine you had a long night and you're going home to get some rest, and then suddenly your body starts moving of its own accord. and suddenly you're outside your coworker's car and you're talking nonsense, you're behaving very strangely, you're creeping him out and you don't know why.
did Nikki think she was going insane? did she think that she got drugged or that maybe something was wrong with her? how long did she wonder if she was just losing her mind, before realizing Bear had something to do with it?
even now, rewatching that scene makes me feel so uneasy. nothing extreme has happened yet but you can imagine the growing fear and confusion in Nikki as her body refuses to listen to her.
