After Kayla and Alexis return, Danielle attacked Alexis, and knocked her out.
Writer’s Opinion
It is not so usual for a victim of horror to not call for the cops or to run upstairs and then make bad decisions. There’s that much missing about a friend who had bullied into committing suicide, why did not anybody call the cops if they can, who is crazier? Why could not they turn a steam room off over the similar control panel when you see it initially turned on within the steam room? These are all crazy and stupid. There is really no lesson or point in here.
Why they did not go on to an even more detail about a girl who committed suicide, just like having a back story and everything and why the audience did not get to watch what really happened. It seemed to the viewers like a real waste of time. Also, what happened to those parents of the girls, and where did the scar came from? These are just a few of the many questions that as a viewer have in their mind?
