Diamond wanders through the halls of the school and sings about never trusting the quiet ones. She ends the song by mentioning that she’s also a Girl Scout. Then there’s a quick cut to Kayla’s grandma who sits up in her chair, grips her blanket tight, and exclaims “I knew it!” (It’s a running joke that she’s doesn’t trust Girl Scouts.)

Everybody’s welcome at Ma’s. But good luck getting home safe.

Octavia Spencer stars as Sue Ann, a loner who keeps to herself in her quiet Ohio town. One day, she is asked by Maggie, a new teenager in town (Diana Silvers), to buy some booze for her and her friends, and Sue Ann sees the chance to make some unsuspecting, if younger, friends of her own.

She offers the kids the chance to avoid drinking and driving by hanging out in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober. Don’t curse. Never go upstairs. And call her “Ma.”

But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth.
