Stupidity: Amy goes into her darkroom and leaves the lock unlocked from the outside of the door so anyone (in this case Adrian) can easily lock her in. Most people going in that room would take the lock with them or lock the door from the inside to prevent this.

Suggested correction: This is a character decision, and a very common one. The house where I used to live had a garage with the same latch type lock. I would always leave the lock on the latch just like Amy did so as not to misplace it. As for your second point about locking it from the inside, doors with a latch lock like this usually do not have a way to lock it from the inside.

Stupidity: Why doesn't Nick just show Darian's parents or maybe even the police the 99 phone messages from her or the shrine underneath his living room? He had had enough of her at this point, and was even willing to move away at that point.

Suggested correction: If you watched the movie you should know that he did tell the police about the shrine. They checked and by that time Adrian removed everything because she's smart.

Continuity mistake: The color of Darian's underwear changes as she walks out of the bathroom.

More quotes from The Crush

Question: What sort of mental illness does Darian have? And for that matter, she seems to come from a stable home and family. Since this is the case, why should she be mentally unstable and how come her parents never noticed her condition when she was growing up?

Answer: Darian would likely be considered as a depiction of Borderline Personality Disorder. She immediately idealizes Nick, becoming emotionally attached to him, which leads to her wanting him all to herself and becoming jealous of his relationship with Amy. Nick's rejection of Darian's sexual feelings for him and his insistence that they be simple friends is what leads her to her feelings of wanting revenge, while she also has unpredictable short-lived mood swings and unreasonable anger over trivial situations. To top it off, her pettiness and lack of remorse in sabotaging Nick in ways like vandalizing his car, erasing his work, trying to harm Amy and even her closest friend, would be almost certain to lead to a comorbid diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder, especially considering she didn't change in the end, and those with BPD aren't typically violent against others (as media often portrays).

Answer: I don't think Adrian was written as having a specific mental illness. Regarding her family, it's not unusual for someone with her issues to come from a stable, well-respected home. Real-life stalkers and killers have. Their families, friends, neighbors, etc. were truly shocked by what these criminals did. They knew a totally different person, compared to the person who the victims encountered.
