* TooDumbToLive: Seriously, [[spoiler: Mr.Walker. Trying to attack an extremely unsettled gun-armed kid certainly wasn't the wisest decision. Even more so given that Owen was seemingly very reluctant to shoot, and a calm conversation could have helped.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: Dodger calls her mother a Dickens scholar when she introduces herself and explains how she got her name. Later, after admitting she is secretly a local scholarship student, she admits that by Dickens scholar, she meant sixth grade English teacher who teaches Charles Dickens.


Added DiffLines:

* LingerieScene:
** The lying game at the beginning has several girls show their bras while lifting up their shirts to show they haven’t been written on with marker (the sign of the liar). Since [[GoingCommando Mercedes isn’t wearing a bra]], she gets a ToplessnessFromTheBack scene instead.
** The Red Riding Hood outfit Dodger wears is just a cape over red underwear.


Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: The headmaster lecturing Owen and threatening to expel him is interrupted when her preteen son races in, dressed for trick-or-treating.


Added DiffLines:

* PursuedProtagonist: The film begins with a girl being chased through the woods and hiding from a pursuer who calls her phone so that her cellphone ringing will give her away, after which the pursuer shoots her.
* SceneryPorn: There are some stunning shots of autumn leaves around the campus.

* TwistEnding: Combined with a repeated GenreShift.[[spoiler: Half an hour before the ending, the film is a somewhat melodramatic thriller. Twenty minutes before the movie ends, it's your typical teen slasher movie. Ten minutes, it's ''Film/AprilFoolsDay'' GoneHorriblyRight. At the very end, it turns out to be a film noir.]]

* BlackAndGreyMorality: In the end, the film is roughly this, though there's a great variation in the shades of grey among main characters. Notably, the lightest shades are probably not for the main protagonist.
