The Spell

Rita Matchett is a shy 15-year-old girl often picked upon for being overweight. One particular day in her high school gym, Rita is teased by her classmates and she attempts to defend herself. The girls take turns at rope climbing and Rita struggles to climb. She is opposite snooty classmate Jackie Segall. Jackie climbs to the top and begins to show off in front of the other girls by doing spins. Rita's stare becomes fixated on Jackie which causes her to fall off the rope and break her neck, killing her in the process.
