[[WMG: Val [[spoiler: is not dead]]]]
Out of all characters besides [[spoiler: Blaire]], Val is the only one to not have an irrefutable [[spoiler: on-screen death]]. Other characters are shown to [[spoiler: have their throat torn by the blender's blades, forced to shoot themselves in the head, have a burning hair straightener forced down their throat, and a knife stabbed in their eye. All of them are shown explicitly on camera, except Val, who is suspected to have been forced to drink bleach long before the other friends find her staring at the camera in a frozen state, and suddenly collapsing to the floor, dead.]]

[[spoiler: However, there's no clear evidence that Val was forced to drink bleach due to no evidence of vomiting blood anywhere on the floor or traces of blood from her mouth. Also, considering that Laura is capable of manipulating phone calls and video camera streams, it's possible that Laura tricked other friends into believing that Val is dead by giving out a fake police code that addresses the event as a suicide.]]

[[spoiler: Considering that Val was not originally invited to the chat stream, it's likely that Laura killing Val haven't crossed her mind as of yet, and simply faked her 'death' to begin her twisted revenge plan against the others. Also, considering that Laura had also bullied Val according to the video, it's also possible that she's saving Val for later, after she have dealt with Blaire who had betrayed her in the worst way possible, who had done more harm to her than Val ever did.]]

It's suggested that Laura was a bully before the video that made her commit suicide was taken. But there is no solid proof of this, just the opinions of Blaire's friends. What if Laura was never a bully. One thing the film makes clear, is that teenagers are quick to spread false rumors and back stab each other. What if Blaire spread the rumors about Laura being a bully to turn people against her - ruin her reputation, since she was popular and well liked - something Blaire seems to be during the film. Blaire has proven to be a ManipulativeBastard that had a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity lot of people fooled.]] Blaire claims the two grew apart, but it could have just as easily been the case of Blaire, being jealous of Laura's popularity and removing the competition. This would explain why the ghost of Laura is so vengeful. She kills herself, not because of the backlash of the video, but because her childhood friend betrays her to take her place.]]

[[WMG: Blaire was drunk the night the she made the video.]]
* While it in no way excuses her behavior, it's likely that Blaire was drunk the night she made the video. It ''was'' a party after all and everyone else seemed to be drinking, so it's unlikely that she alone was sober. This could provide an explanation for her reaction to the sight of her face behind the camera: She really didn't remember making the video and the expression on her face was a combination of shock and guilt.

** It should be noted that Laura personally wrote an apology to Val for being mean to her, so it isn't a huge leap to suggest that she actually did bully others.

** It should be noted that Laura personally wrote an apology to Val for being mean to her, so it isn't a huge leap to suggest that she actually did bully others. Also, Blaire defends Laura against Mitch's accusations of bullying, pointing out that she had a hard life and almost mentioning her abuse at the hands of her CreepyUncle. Even if the NiceGirl routine is fake, that's the last thing she'd do if she was cultivating an image of Laura as a bully.

[[WMG: The whole movie was a SecretTestOfCharactr for Blaire]]
After Blaire tells Laura that [[spoiler:Mitch was the one responsible for the video (resulting in him dying]], Laura reveals that she knew who it was all along. This could have just been a sadistic game, or maybe Laura would have set them all free once the guilty party confessed. If [[spoiler:Blaire had just revealed that she was the one who took the video]], everyone would still be alive, but they didn't, so their punishment? Watching all of their friends die horrible, painful deaths, all while knowing it was their fault.

[[WMG: Laura was trying to save them.]]
This is a weird theory, propped up mainly by a single line in the movie. Before killing Blaire Laura said "I wish I could forgive you." My theory is that she meant that literally: she was not allowed to forgive them. You see, when she first died she was mad enough to make a deal with something on the other side to come back for revenge, but after a year she's cooled off and doesn't really want to do it. That's why she keeps dragging things out. IF she isn't cruel, she breaks her deal. However, if her friends show true remorse, then she "has to" let them go, so she tries to put them in a position to do this. It really sheds new light on the Never Have I Ever game. Laura lied when she said "if you lose, you die." If one of her friends had held out and confessed to 5 sins, they would have been free.
