History Film / TheFinal

* HowWeGotHere: The film opens with one of the victims [[spoiler:(Bridget)]] in a diner, her face horribly disfigured, with her fellow patrons all staring at her like a freak.

* GirlishPigtails: Worn by Emily during the torture session.

* MoralMyopia: Bridget, who had no issue heaping psychological abuse on Emily for years, refuses to torture Bradley, a fellow bully. This enrages Emily and the rest even more.

** Kelly ''is'' genuinely remorseful for being an AlphaBitch, but [[spoiler: is apparently DrivenToSuicide]] before she can make any good come of it.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Bridget seems genuinely sorry for bullying Emily, but when twice offered the chance to prove it (by hurting one of her fellow bullies) she staunchly refuses. Emily calls her out on her [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] and makes her [[FacialHorror pay dearly for it.]]

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Bradley is indeed evil. And kinda pathetic too.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Emily makes sure Bridget will be kept safe since she apologized. Then she asks Bradley to cut off her fingers... In order to see the friends hurt each other, she gives the scissors to Bridget. She can't bring herself to cut off Bradley's fingers, and Emily burns Bridget's face just as she burned Heather's... Bridget, though being a BetaBitch, goes through the most pain in the GirlPosse. She has ''surely'' been kept safe.

Bridget, though being a BetaBitch, goes through the most pain in the GirlPosse.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Emily points this out about Bridget after the latter rejects her deal (take off Bradley's fingers and Emily will make sure she's kept safe):
-->'''Bridget:''' I couldn't hurt anyone.\\
'''Emily:''' You hurt me. Without even blinking an eye.

* YourCheatingHeart: [[BetaBitch Heather]] is asked about her having sex with Tommy, the boyfriend of a girl named Nadia, after an illicit text is read from her phone by one of the other members of the GirlPosse. While she is called out on it later in front of Nadia, it doesn't have any real importance to the plot. It mainly [[DevelopingDoomedCharacters exists to show her as being]] [[AssholeVictim just another asshole.]]

* BookEnds: The film begins and ends with a horribly disfigured girl entering a BBQ restaurant and having to endure the patrons' reactions to her appearance.

* DysfunctionalFamily: Almost all of the outcasts come from families that are broken one way or the other.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Bridget seems genuinely sorry for bullying Emily, but when twice offered the chance to prove it (by hurting one of her fellow bullies) she staunchly refuses. Emily calls her out on her [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] and makes her pay dearly for it.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Heather disappears after having her face smeared with Emiliy's chemicals. Apart from her being stashed in the room with the other injured teens, we never see exactly what it did to her face nor do we learn what happened to her in the aftermath.

* IGaveMyWord: Dane promised that he would not kill a single one of the bullies. [[spoiler: He keeps his promise, though given how [[ExactWords he does everything short of killing them]], many probably wish he hadn't.]]

* BrokenAesop: The obvious moral of the story is that bullying and tormenting others is bad, yet the outcasts spend a good two-thirds of the movie doing this out of the need for revenge, although Dane also states that he also wants [[{{Hypocrite}} to send an anti-bullying message to the nation.]] Furthermore, when the incident does make the news, it's described as being an unprovoked attack carried out by angry social deviants as opposed to longtime bullying victims.

* BrokenAesop: The moral of the story, which is ostensibly to draw attention to bullying, gets lost in the media spin, with reporters saying the incident was unprovoked and making the outcasts out to be basic teenage sociopaths.

* PetTheDog: Kurtis is the only popular kid who is nice to the outcasts, even picking a fight with one of the [[JerkJock jocks]] for messing with Ravi and Dane. As a result, the outcasts try to keep him from attending their party and when he does anyway, Ravi secretly provides him with the means to free himself.

* DrivenToSuicide[=/=]RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Kelly. See SurvivorGuilt.]] Also Dane hints at a SuicidePact and [[spoiler: Emily and Andy ultimately follow through on it]].
