Curry Barker: It is a possession movie and Nikki might have given Bear a shot

So, two common discussions that crop up about this film are:

1. What would have happened if Bear has said yes the first time?

"I actually feel like if you rewatch the moment where she point blank asks "do you have feelings for me?" and he says "I think we're good friends" and you look back at her, you can see this disappointment (Inde nods) as she goes "okay.... good!". When she says "...good!" you can almost tell that she's saying like... that she's almost disappointed.

And so the answer is that if he would have just had the guts to ask her she might have actually at least given him a chance."

The answer is, he could have had a chance. Curry has said they filmed two takes for various scenes, one showing signs Nikki was into Bear and another the opposite, then spliced them together. They did this to create ambiguity, and I think it was said that it was to show how it felt from Bear's perspective.

What we know for sure is that there was a possibility she would have said yes.

2. Is Nikki Possessed?

I never wanted it to feel like a possession movie too much. It is a possession movie at the end of the day, but it's a different type of possession movie.

I didn't want it to feel like she was a demon. I wanted it to feel like she was just a normal person who is really obsessed with a person and and almost how far is the craziest of people willing to go.

So, she is possessed. It's just not a typical demonic possession.

I thought anyone who hadn't seen these clips might be interested.

If anyone has any more clips from Curry explaining elements of the film, it would be good to share them.
