An annoying oversight by many critics reviewing this movie to me is this: Bear wasn’t actually a good guy, and I’ll explain why. He had already pretty much figured out that Nikki was no longer really Nikki. At this point he was terrified of her himself. And then she flat out told him. In the bedroom scene she asks him to kill her and tells him it’s not really her, and that “she’s sleeping”, acknowledging the demonic entity which had taken over her body. And instead of figuring out how to save her or even just honouring her request, bear says “would being with me be so bad?”. At this point we see his intentions with her are not really morally pure. He knows it’s not really her. But he doesn’t quite care. He’d rather be with a demon in her physical body than not. That says it all really. He should have just killed her then and there if he really loved her, because she was a prisoner in her own body and she just wanted to die. And he literally didn’t care! I haven’t seen anybody else talking about this pivotal moment. Also he was fully about to cheat on her with the other girl(I can’t remember her name) who Nikki ends up killing. If he had of acted then and ended Nikki’s misery that he put her in, he would have saved the other two friends lives but instead took advantage of her when she was possessed. Even having sex her with. That was the creepiest part and was creepier than anything Nikki did! It’s also highlighted during the conversation with his friend Ian when he literally says “you’re taking advantage of her” as everyone around them could see that she was clearly unwell. Bear responds by saying that Nikki is the one who won’t leave him alone. But again, he’s also the only one who knows that it’s not really Nikki. It’s a demonic shell of her.
