This has got to be a sad film based on a true story. It doesn't mean that everything in the film is exactly the same as true life events but there were some changes made. School is rife with friendships and bullies. Here there was no bullying, it was friends and the girl's own friends who did the murder. The true story is much more complex but the film itself focuses on the two BFF's and the arrival of a new girl. The new girl Ashley breaks apart the besties by choosing to befriend one of them and isolating the other. Also making her new friend not go on a date with this boy. The actress playing Ashley comes across as a very evil teenager who abuses her mother at home. As the film was based on a true story, it could've been told better with more realness, such as both girls plotting and planning to kill their friend. It made only Ashley the cold blooded killer while the other girl was reluctant. The only message in the film is not to trust your friends and don't sneak out at night without notifying your parents. The film could've added more updates on the outcome of the murderess' trials and the Skylar Law put into place because of this.
