** Julian Morris would be on the other end of the twist a few years later in ''Film/SororityRow''. [[spoiler: This time, ''he'' turns out to be a murderer looking for revenge]].
* NarmCharm: Some of Lindy Booth's mannerisms when playing 'the lying game' are very theatrical and over-the-top, but they just help with the atmosphere.

Added DiffLines:
* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Lindy Booth was best known as a DamselScrappy in both ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'' and ''Film/WrongTurn'', but she went against type here to play a more mischievous and mysterious character. Her work as Dodger is usually considered the best thing about it.
Added DiffLines:
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Rich Walker is having an affair with one of his students. The student herself is the antagonist, [[spoiler: and is the only one who commits the murders]]. Given the rise of the 'Me Too Movement', it's impossible to see him as anything but [[spoiler: an AssholeVictim]].
* VindicatedByHistory: Trashed by critics when it came out, it's seen in a slightly more positive light nowadays; especially in light of the 2000s being saturated with TorturePorn and remakes of more popular slashers, and this one being something relatively different and subversive.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The Wolf's MO involves using AOL instant messages, which immediately dates the film to the mid-2000s - as there's not a single mention of [=MySpace=] or Facebook. Additionally the rumour is started with a chain email, rather than a Facebook post. The fact that the kids have access to phones that can IM and send pictures (slowly!) is meant to show that they're rich and privileged. Not to mention the small moment where Lewis is waiting for a picture Mercedes sent to load - since smartphones send pictures instantly. And [[spoiler: Mr Walker being involved with Becky]] would be presumably found out from online photos of the two on Facebook.
