An eerie atmosphere surrounds Maren Yearly (Taylor Russell) as she drifts quietly through her first few scenes, which effectively build up to a tender moment of friendship, turned terrifyingly into cannibalism. With Maren and her friend Kim (Madeleine Hall) lying on the ground and shot through a glass table, the audience sees nail polish laid out on the tabletop, visually representing innocent girlhood. The sleepover takes a turn as Maren moves closer to Kim in a seemingly affectionate way before chomping down on her finger.
