YMMV / Hangman's Curse

• Broken Aesop: You would think with how the film portrays bullying, the moral would be to not bully Goths for existing and for bullied people to not rely on magic/spells to get revenge on the people who bully you. But the actual moral of the film, per the ending, is for the bullied Goths to realize they were wrong for being weird and that they need to change their appearance to "normal", should forgive and befriend your bullies, play sports with them, and become Christian! (Granted the film is a Christian film, so telling people to become Christian is standard for these films, but the film also seems to imply that bullying Goths into changing themselves to "normal" is a correct and proper thing for jocks to do!)
• Heel–Faith Turn: Ian and Crystal are pretty much just regular Goths in high school being themselves and being bullied for it, but after discovering their plan for revenge against the jocks using the spirit of Able Frye was just a hoax by their nerdy leader, the couple seem to have decided to turn in their black clothes for Abercrombie and Fitch clothes and befriend one of the jocks previously bullying them and do a prayer with the undercover family outside their RV in the denouement scene. No verbal dialog explains why their change occurred and none of the other Goth characters are shown to have or have not made the same change. Only possible explanation is that Elijah's talk about how manipulating the supernatural is dangerous made an impact on Ian after he tried to hang himself after Crystal got "cursed".
• Retroactive Recognition: Elisha is played by a pre-Gossip Girl Leighton Meester.
