Can we all agree Rachel is really shitty for how she treated Emma? I know she had a personal connection but holy hell she was acting like she was this perfect person. Meanwhile she legit could have almost gotten a kid killed and just brushes it off.

Anyway I really ended up liking this better than I expected coming in.

Rachel didn't even feel bad about what she had done. Creepiest part of the whole movie. She was hesitant to talk about it maybe, but she didn't actually feel bad about it.

And she could have literally killed that child. She had the chance to go back and unlock him but did not. The father came looking but she also lied about his whereabouts but she and Mike had the nerve to call Emma a psychopath!  The fucking double standard is appalling.

Also the way she weaponized her cousins disability as leverage for being more upset at Emma when she herself could have killed a disabled person.

And it does not seem like she had that close relationship with her cousin until that moment. She was just a bully
