The best horror movies leave the audience affected by what they just watched and thinking on what happens to the characters after the credits start rolling. On that note, ever since seeing writer/director Curry Barker’s critically-acclaimed debut Obsession, We haven’t been able to stop pondering how everything wraps up. When CinemaBlend had the chance to talk to Baker and the film's stars, they broke down for us what they think happens after that terrifying final shot. Let’s get into it.

At the end of Obsession, Michael Johnston’s Bear realizes the only thing left to do to stop the nightmares of the One Wish Willow is to end his own life. This comes after he uses the mystical stick to make one of his best friends, Inde Navarrette’s Nikki, to love him more than anything in the whole world. His wish comes true but with terrible results, as Nikki not only becomes obsessed with him but practically evil, even killing their other friends in front of Bear in violent ways.

00:00I just can't keep thinking about that last shot when Nikki gets back to herself and like she's seeing all
00:06her friends that are gone.
00:08How do you think she moves forward after that?
00:10That's a really good question.
00:12In jail.
00:12No, right?
00:14I think personally, I think my personal interpretation was that she saw a lot of different things after a while.
00:21And so she kind of knows what's going on and she's just grieving.
00:24And obviously grieving is different for everybody, but I think it's just starting her journey of grief.
00:28So she's like, she has seen a lot of what's going on.
00:30She's not just coming from not knowing anything.
00:34Oof, that sucks.
00:35Like almost she saw it, but she didn't have any control over it.
00:38Like she just had to walk.
00:39Yeah, I had the idea that like she gained strength over time.
00:42Like she can fight with him or not him.
00:44She can fight with herself.
00:45And so in my interpretation of it, she starts to see through the veil later on versus in the beginning.
00:51It's more of a popping in and out of like, wait, where was she?
00:53We played with the idea of the last place that she was as Nikki was the last place that she
00:58saw.
00:58So that's why she goes, wait, where are we?
01:00She probably goes to jail.
01:03She's probably going to prison for a very long time.
01:06There's also like a billion dollars in Ian's house and Ian's dead on the floor.
01:11So she's connected to that money in some way.
01:16Who knows what the cops are going to kind of put together as the story, but she's not going to
01:25have a very good life, I don't think.
