| I think the only way to "understand" it is that what we saw, as viewers, was a mix of what the killer remembers (her friend looking terrified, which surely she was) and what she BELIEVES happened (she was in the back of the truck while the "killer" was driving it.) Obviously, the killer could never have actually been in the back of the truck while it was being driven, but in her batshit mind, she was. But this breaks-down near the end when the camera starts jumping back and forth between showing us the killer-girl and showing us the imaginary killer-guy. There's no real way to justify that as being how the killer-girl perceives it, since she clearly has multiple-personality disorder and truly thinks that there was some evil dude who murdered her friend's family. > > > Worst scene in the movie: > > The killer-girl was in the back seat of the truck, > speaking with her friend, who seemed terrified of her, but > could not speak because of a gag.
