I haven't seen the movie in a while. But weren't they disagreeing about something at that point. To the point where they weren't going to be friends anymore. I remember seeing that scene in the 90s and thought it was too much only because they started doing wrestling moves on cement.
But I love the movie. Very freaky and plays on paranoia.

I thought this was going to be a horror movie. I saw the trailer a while back. The premise seemed stupid but girls stuck in a sauna! Those are old or European things. I've only been in them a few times and that was a long time ago. Most people talk about hot tubs these days. But that Friday the 13th Part 8 sauna scene was good. Just maybe a movie based on a sauna could be good. And the trailer really played on the girls and horror elements. The movie was probably sold on it unless something shady was going on. I figured at 87 minutes it couldn't be that bad. Thankfully I didn't pay to see this mess. This is one of those movies where you want your 87 minutes back. I should have known it was going to be bad from a few things early on.
1. Casting. Scout Taylor-Compton and Tyler Mane were both in that horrible Halloween remake. Scout Taylor-Compton was also in the equally bad April Fool's Day remake. Add in the annoying guy from the Friday the 13th remake, I know all of the guys in that were annoying, and the throwaway guy from the Night of the Demons remake and alarm bells should have been ringing in my head.
2. "Based on a true story." This never works well in the opening of a horror movie.
3. Overly sentimental opening with a couple. You know something bad will happen to them.
What this movie is, is one of those Ladies Movie Network shows. Where the jealous ex-boyfriend comes after the girl or where the girl has to overcome some mental trauma because of a guy. It pretends to be a horror movie from the advertisements. I did think for a second that maybe they were going to go The Descent route. But that's too good for this movie. In the end the movie is just a don't do drugs in a country house with idiots movie. The only good things in this movie are a funny electrocution sequence, that is really common sense and an Ashley Greene look a like that can't act. And there is no nudity at all in this mess but the worse kind of dull sex scene with the girl's shirt on.
