Called it

When?

I looked through the OP's posts and I don't see anywhere where they called it. This is a mystery.

Okay. What gave her away for you?

Okay. What gave her away for you?

For me there were a few things

- she was either a terrible actress or the character was a sociopath, her innocence and kindness felt too forced.

- despite the fact that almost all of the characters got flashbacks, Amy's backstory told us very little about her. (and the lady that dropped her off at school always creeps me out).

- they tried a little too hard to make us think she was "last girl"

Fair enough.

I also noticed the sweet girl act, and at times wondered why she was the main character when she's not really doing anything to merit such a status. The absence of backstory was telling but it never crossed my mind to think she was the villain of the story.

The whole point: On the surface, she should be the angel, heroine. She looks like a Nordic goddess and came from a good family and caring parents. While her black "opposite" was a homely, negress with a horrible home life with a POS mom. Yet, look who ended up "good" and "bad". People make choices. Evil can confiscate anyone.
