* TyrannicalHomeownersAssociation: The titular Karen is president of the Homeowners Association and uses her position to attempt a racially-motivated eviction of Malik and Imani, because they're black. When that doesn't work, she escalates to terrifying them and [[spoiler:tries to kill them.]] However, at the end of the movie, [[spoiler:after Karen's death, Imani takes over the association and is shown making it a force for good.]]

* CorruptCop: Karen's brother Mike, who seemingly has no issue arresting anyone Karen points at or planting evidence when he has insufficient reason to do so. It's also heavily implied he isn't the only one, as he apparently had plenty of complains leveled his way for profiling, but never faced any consequences in the end, due to the other officers covering for him. Averted with Officer Hill, who seems out of the loop about this.

Young couple Imani (Burke) and Malik (Hardrict) have just moved into the neighborhood in Harvey Hill, a suburb in Atlanta, right nextdoor to local Homeowners Association president Karen Drexler (Manning). After a rather unpleasant first meeting with the new neighbor, Imani and Malik find themselves repeatedly terrorized by Karen, who has a visceral hatred for black people and throws everything but the kitchen sink at them in order to get them out of Harvey Hill.

* PoliceAreUseless: Justified, as the most prominent law enforcement in the movie is Karen's brother Mike, a CorruptCop who's just as bigoted and anti-black as she is. What few other police officers there are in the movie are either of no help to the protagonists or just as corrupt. Subverted with Mike's younger partner who challenges Mike several times when he goes too far with Malik and [[spoiler: even has a BigDamnHeroes moment at the end when he intervene just in time to keep Karen and Mike from killing Imani.]]
