In the film, Rebecca, played by Leighton, is a mentally ill and met Sara during the process of entering university. In S’s daily life, R pays attention to protection everywhere, including several warnings to take S to clubbing and leave S’s friend T in the bar alone, kill S’s ex-boyfriend J, and lure S to kiss S’s art class. The male mentor caused him to be fired by the principal and kidnapped his friend I who invited S to move out of the dormitory to live with him, as well as the kitten they adopted together. It became clear when S and her boyfriend discovered that R was not taking psychiatric drugs normally. In order to save I, S and R fought and at the end, S killed R after saying: we are never friends.
In fact, if R is not interpreted as a mental patient, her behavior is understandable. To her roommate S, she is not simply friendship, but a kind of love, protective desire, jealousy and possessiveness that rises to family and love. In fact, hasn't normal people ever had such feelings?
Finally, I think LM’s performance has really made great progress, but the part of the mental patient’s madness is still not very realistic. The final horror scene of this horror film seems to be difficult to push the whole movie to a climax. It seems that LM is still Need a lot of exercise to grow up!
