Obsession: The History of Nikki Freeman | Horror History
Nikki Freeman brings the unhinged terror to Obsession when a magic wish replaces her soul with another, but where did Wish Nikki's madness really come from?
In Curry Barker's sophomore horror feature Obsession, Nikki Freeman appears to be nothing more than the main character's crush, but when a careless wish replaces her with a love Obsessed alternate, she becomes a ticking time bomb of mood swings, destructive behavior, and nightly terror. In this video I'll go over how Nikki was influenced by her past, how Wish Nikki represents her Borderline Personality Disorder, the untold secret rules of the One Wish Willow, and how one tiny detail is actually the key to understanding the entire film!
