* HandWave: When Millie's friends ask how she plans to explain everything to the police, she just comments that she'll tell them "a version of the truth". We never see her actually do so, leaving us to wonder how she justified [[spoiler: her friends running from the police, Nyla stealing from the evidence locker, and the overall odd and out-of-character actions of "Millie" when the Butcher was in control, including attempting to kill Josh's mother]]. At most, we know [[spoiler: Nyla claimed the Butcher kidnapped her and Josh to explain why they were with him at the school, and Millie probably was able to convince Clara what happened due to her SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay moment earlier]].



* SilentAntagonist: The Butcher is a very quiet menace, with his introduction in Millie's body downright startling her mother with how silent and scowling he behaves (although she attributes that to Millie still being traumatized by the previous night's attack).
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When meeting her friends in the Butcher's body, Millie proves it's her by doing her mascot dance, followed by the secret handshake ("Shake, bitches!") only they would know.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Body swapping aside, the Blissfield Butcher and his murder spree are portrayed more realistically than most slasher villains tend to be. As soon as he starts killing people, the authorities immediately issue a curfew and put out an arrest warrant once they figure out what he looks like. Absolutely none of the adults in this movie are portrayed as [[AdultsAreUseless ignorant or useless]]; they take the threat '''very''' seriously.

know. She later does it again for Booker by reciting the poem she left in his locker. [[spoiler:Implied with Clara, as Millie (in the Butcher's body) apologizes for a couple things in her past before running away, but we never see for sure if Clara put two and two together.]]

** The Butcher is a very tall, muscular, and strong man, allowing him to overpower his victims easily. Then he gets put in the body of a petite teenage girl, and suddenly brute strength isn't an option anymore, resulting in victims often fighting back and forcing him to get creative.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Pretty much every one of the victims after the four opening kills. Ryler is a homophobic mean girl who tries to exploit Millie's attack for popularity, Millie's teacher Mr. Bernardi targets her for no reason, and the group of jocks at the end tried to gang-rape the Butcher in Millie's body (plus the one who sexually assaults Josh). And of course, it ends with the Butcher himself dying.]]
