Continuity mistake: When the girls are trying to throw Angela into the lake, she steps to the edge of the dock with Angela on her shoulder. Her toes are over the edge. There is then a cut to the counselor berating Ricky with a long view of the girls trying to throw Angela in the water. They are now back in the middle of the dock instead of at the edge of the dock.

Trivia: Some fans have speculated that there may really be two killers in this movie, that it's actually Ricky Thomas killing everyone up until he gets beaten up by the camp owner Mel Kostic, and that the only people Angela kills in this film are Mel and Paul. However, the film never confirms this for certain.

Question: Why did Angela / Peter refuse to eat much food at first, and also refuse to play volleyball? She / he could probably do those things without the secret being revealed.

Answer: Watch his first scene at his aunt's. He doesn't speak at all. Clearly Angela/Peter has had a withdrawn personality since the death of his father and older sister. So doing activities with other kids is one thing he wouldn't do, as for eating, a lot of kids don't at first if they miss home.
