* AdultsAreUseless: PlayedForDrama. The teacher never catches on to Lucas' true nature or bothers to understand Lake's side of the story. She also doesn't notice anything wrong when "Lucas" is shown with broken glasses.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Lucas is an [[NerdyBully intelligent]], [[ForTheEvulzsadistic]], and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative bully]] who constantly tells on Lake and sometimes lies about to make himself look better. But by the end of the film when [[spoiler:Lucas has been accidentally runover, Lake remorselessly disposes of Lucas’ body, without calling the cops, and decides to forever impersonate his dead brother without the rest of the world knowing]]. In the end, neither of the twins is a saint.

* GenreShift: The film starts as a simple sibling drama that quickly turns into a horror film by the second half. {{Downplayed|Trope}} in that the first half of the film is already portrayed in a horrific light, it's just the second half that makes it overt.

* EntitledBastard: Lucas demands Lake to help him after he hurts his leg, ignoring that he has been nothing but a smug, manipulative prick to Lucas for all his life. Naturally, Lucas doesn't bother to help him.

* BittersweetEnding: With a bit of variation on how much bitter to sweet the ending actually is. [[spoiler:Lake no longer has to suffer the constant torment from Lucas or live in his brother's shadow and even has the chance to rewrite the narrative on just who Lake "was" as Lucas should he choose to. However, it comes at the personal cost of having to keep up appearances and pretend to be Lucas for the rest of his life.]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Lucas, who not only tattled on his brother to make himself look better, but tormented him by taking his toy car and acting like he was going to break it. While his death is shocking, you likely aren’t going to mourn him]].

* TooDumbToLive: Lucas sneaks into the junkyard in the middle of the night. Since it was near an open road, it goes as well as you'd expect.

* DeathByIrony: On the climatic night that [[spoiler: Lucas was killed in the hit and run]], Lucas made it a point to climb into the junkyard, despite having previously tattled on Lake for doing the same thing.

* LackOfEmpathy: Lucas never shows an ounce of remorse for his treatment of Lake, terrorizing him mercilessly and making him look bad in front of other people.

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Lake pushes Lucas down into an empty road and refuses to help when Lucas complains about his ankle. This leads directly to Lucas being killed by a hit-and-run. It's clear killing Lucas (or MurderByInaction) was not Lake's intention when he shoved him, as evidence by his [[OhCrap horrified expression]] when the car runs over his brother]].

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Lake pushes Lucas down into an empty road and refuses to help when Lucas complains about his ankle. This leads directly to Lucas being killed by a hit-and-run. It's clear killing Lucas was not Lake's intention when he shoved him and yet...]]

* DoubleMeaning: When [[spoiler:"Lucas" (actually Lake impersonating him) says that "Lake" is late again at the end. Late can mean being late for class... or ''dead'', which "Lake" (actually Lucas) really is]].

* CensoredChildDeath: [[spoiler:Once he's pushed onto a road by Lake, Lucas ends up dying after getting hit by a car offscreen. The silhouettes that appear on his broken glasses show Lake dragging his body across the road.]]

* DisposingOfABody: [[spoiler:It's a small detail, but in the reflection of Lucas's broken glasses on the street you can see (and hear) Lake dragging his brother's body off the street. Seeing as he replaces Lucas, it's heavily implied Lake was disposing or hiding the body.]]

* MurderByInaction: Subverted. While the audience can see [[spoiler:the car coming and Lake refusing to help the injured Lucas up]], its made clear that Lake did not mean to actually [[spoiler:get Lucas killed due to Lake's horrified reaction when the car runs over his brother]].

* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: A dark example. After [[spoiler:Lucas dies from being run over by a car, Lake decides to impersonate him]].

* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: After [[spoiler:Lucas dies from being run over by a car, Lake decides to impersonate him]].

* GenreShift: The film starts as a simple sibling drama that quickly turns into a horror film by its second half.

* CainAndAbel: Lucas's constant antagonism of Lake seems to be driven by an inferiority complex if we go by his flustered reaction to Lucas stating as much. And while [[spoiler:Lake never intended to kill Lucas, he doesn't seem too bent out of shape about it, what with the way he seamlessly co-opts his brother's life]].

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Lucas wears blue and Lake wears red. The bright red truck that Lucas threatens to smash clearly belongs to Lake, which explains his reaction. [[spoiler:This is also how you know the "Lucas" at the end is really Lake: this Lucas is now wearing purple and violet--combining the red and blue motifs.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: Lucas is smug, callous, and manipulative, showing no remorse for any of the stuff he put Lake through.

* LackOfEmpathy: Lucas never shows any remorse for the stuff he's put Lake through just to make the latter look bad by comparison.
