When he and his brother get in trouble for standing up to the local bullies, their parents take the side of the cops, refuse to listen to their children about what happened even when in private, and even send Liu away as punishment. This is all because the bully, Randy, is the son of their father's new boss, and they'd rather look good to their new neighbors than support their children. After Jeff is in the hospital for being hit with a flare gun, his mother is more concerned with how he'll look than if he'll be okay mentally or physically.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Jeff spares Liu, and his reasons for killing his parents are more understandable since they were not particularly nice to him or Liu. The opening with him trying to kill a child is cut, and it's not even clear if he plans on continuing to kill people.
** In a downplayed example, the bullies, while still huge jerks, never try to kill anyone. There is also no mention of them mugging other kids at knifepoint. They simply mess with Jeff and Liu's bikes and get into a fistfight with them. When they try to get revenge on Jeff later, they do it away from anyone else, and only try to beat him up, whereas in the original, they attacked him at a birthday party with the intent to brutally murder him and threatened all those present.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Jeff's mom in the begs for her life and in a last ditch tries to manipulate Jeff into sparing her.
* BaitTheDog: When Jeff is forced to come to Randy's house, Randy seems like [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he's not such a bad guy after all]]. The impression given is somebody who only got into a fight against Jeff and Liu because he felt provoked and is willing to let bygones be bygones. As a result, the reader starts thinking he might be a RedHerring who [[NotHisSled has nothing to do with Jeffery Woods becoming Jeff the Killer]]. Even Jeff starts to like him after a while. Then he tries to force Jeff to let Keith and Troy beat him up and [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk his true colors are revealed]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: Jeff makes it clear that he cares about Liu, even after becoming a killer he spare him and tell him that he loves him.
* {{Expy}}: After his disfigurement Jeff resembles ComicBook/TwoFace, with one half of Jeff's face being perfectly normal looking while the other is horribly disfigured
* KarmaHoudini
** Randy, Keith and Troy get off scot-free by lying their way out of it. And somehow making them think Jeff ''shot himself with a flare gun.
** Jeff himself, though not as much as the orginial as he only murders his parents, with no clear indication that he plans to continue killing. His parents are [[AssholeVictim asshole victims]] in this version, and while murder is still murder, he does end up having to say goodbye to his brother (who he truly cares for) and leave his house, forcing him to become a homeless loner.
* SaidBookism: The author seems almost incapable of having anyone simply "say" anything. They blurt, reply, announce, invite, and suggest, but they hardly ever say.
* SlowPacedBeginning: Starts with a description of the weather.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Liu is spared by Jeff after he kills their parents, simply stating that Liu is now "free".
** The bullies, as opposed to the original killing Randy and leaving Keith and Troy to suffer from UncertainDoom. Now, all three are victims of ChuckCunninghamSyndrome.
* TrophyChild: This is how Jeff and Liu's parents treat them. When he and his brother get in trouble for standing up to the local bullies, their parents take the side of the cops, refuse to listen to their children about what happened even when in private, and even send Liu away as punishment. This is all because the bully, Randy, is the son of their father's new boss, and they'd rather look good to their new neighbors than support their children. After Jeff is in the hospital for being hit with a flare gun, his mother is more concerned with how he'll look than if he'll be okay mentally or physically. All of this makes it no wonder they die in this version of the story.
* TwoFaced: Half of Jeff's face gets hideously disfigured by a flare gun.
* ViewersAreGoldfish: The majority of its opening tells us over and over again that Jeff and Liu miss home. It later recaps Jeff's first encounter with the bullies ''in the same scene.''
