    Watch the movie. It’s very explicit that Nikki is in no way the villain.

    That being said, from letterboxd reviews, either people don’t pay attention to the dialogue, plot and themes or a lot of people were on their phones through swathes of the movie.

      I think it’s pointless to even talk about this without differentiating between the real Nikki and the ‘possessed version’. One of them cooked a cat and murdered people. That is the version viewers see for the majority of the screentime.

        That’s the thing. The possessed version is explicitly not Nikki. “You’ve never been with me.”

        It’s like the exorcist, the one puking pea soup and screaming obscenities isn’t Linda Blair.

          But both the possessed Linda Blair and the possessed Nikki could be counted as villain characters at a theme park
