Quite offensively homophobic
I watched this stinker of a film earlier today, and despite it not being particularly scary/violent/good, I noticed one thing that has been hard to shake, which is that actually this is one of the most homophobic films I think I've ever seen. The singular motivation behind this girl's killings is that she's in love with her female best friend and can't bring herself to say it, so she imagines herself as a serial killer to accept it. Or something. Truth be told the plot, to me, was dross. But this homophobic undercurrent stood out to me. To make it her only motivation is not only lazy... But pretty intolerable.
