So the big twist of the movie is that the three girls we think that are just on their way to a rock concert are really killers behind some satanic ritualistic killings.
However, there's a number of moments leading up to the reveal that don't make sense to me.
The first is when they stop at a gas station and Beverly is reading a newspaper about article about the recent ritualistic murders. Alexis grabs the paper from Beverly looks at it and says "this is supposed to scare other people, not us." I mean I suppose she's not wrong. It will scare others and not them, only because they're the ones responsible. But why would she need to say this to Beverly?
The second is when they're driving and a report about murders going on comes onto the radio. Beverly doesn't want to listen it. Obviously before knowing the twist we think she doesn't want to listen because it scares her. I know we later find out Beverly is apprehensive about going through with everything and changes sides but Alexis and Val don't know this. That should've seen to weird to them. Not wanting to listening to a report about murders on the radio when you're about to commit murders yourself seems odd.
Another is when Beverly is so shook that Mark had a knife on him. You brought them there to be murdered. They're your victims. Why are you concerned he has a knife?
Last thing I'll say about the twist. They gave it away too early. There's a scene where Beverly and Alexis are alone getting the drinks. Beverly says "I've never done anything like this before." She's never done what? Had some drinks and hung out with guys? Then Alexis proceeds to say "you're new to our group" and "this is a big step for you." i suppose the writes want to leave it ambiguous as to what all this means but I think it becomes very clear here that it's really the girls here who are bad.
Now imagine this scene weren't in the movie and we're at the part they are playing Never Have I Ever and Alexis says "never have I ever drugged someone's drink." Then you start to realize the girls drugged the guys drinks and they're really the killers. Would've made for a great moment had it not for the prior scene already giving away the twist.
