Why does Emily act psychotic in this movie?


If Charlie is her friend why is she acting psychotic towards other characters like the cherif, her father and her fathers new friend?

reply

Charlie doesn't want her to have any friends other than him so she's afraid if she's nice to other people they will be his nice target. I have two theories on why she is that way with her father, "Charlie" is brainwashing her about her father so she pulls away from him or she's unsure what personality her father is so she doesn't know how to act.
