The premise and whole story is somewhat interesting and feels real and relatable to some degree. The main character, the anti-hero blond played by Anna Camp, is the only one who's well played, followed by the supporting protagonist, who's OK. Everybody else is playing it pretty flat or just bad.
Actually, Anna Camp's performance is the thing that makes this more than just a "story on a screen". She does overact, but, it's somewhat expected, 'cause it's hard to play such a specific character - smart, resourceful, yet spoiled and a little crazy. Especially since nobody else really helps, she's on her own.
Stefanie Scott, as the protagonist, has figured all she needs to do is look cute, which she does. But, that's it, there are way to many times she could have played better against Anna Camp's "craziness", either showing fear, contempt, determination... anything but the cute look.
The buildup, from a silly prank to murder, attempted murder and arson, gets worse (i.e. less believable/real) as time goes on. As in a lot of films in last years, it falls apart by the end.
Bottom line, it's watchable, but not very good.
