One could argue the opening robbery is crazy fantastical the way it's first presented.

Nearly everything about both Alien's lifestyle and their spree of vicious crimes.

All of the slo-mo dub step spring break imagery, which rarely leaves the fantasy of what spring break is.

The one or two moments in which fantasy is broken for characters, they end up leaving. But for Hudgens and Benson, the delusion is never broken. Their fantasy just happens to be far more comfortable in a world of violent take-over. Once they meet Alien, they encounter no personal wake-up call. No cops, no injury, no interference worth worrying about. Hence when their friend gets shot, their reaction isn't "let's get the fuck out, we're just girls!" it's "we're gonna make these motherfuckers pay, cuz no one tries to interrupt our American dream." Consequence never once comes into their mind, just fuck fuck fuck kill kill kill.
