Julie: Smile pretty, Courtney.

  • Hollywood Homely: Proven by her in-story transformation, all that made Judy Greer a.k.a. Fern/Vylette ugly was hair that needed some grooming and some non-flattering clothes.
  • Idiot Plot: To quote RogerEbert: "Julie could end it all by speaking out, but she delays, because that would not be convenient for the plot." And let's not forget the police officer who completely ignores the fact that a woman called the school and not some random male rapist.
    • In defense to Julie, it would've been her word against Courtney, Marcie, and Fern/Vylette, and Julie didn't exactly have any evidence to prove Courtney was responsible.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Hey, Courtney is Paige!
  • True Art Is Incomprehensible - For the kind of movie it is, there are some very surreal moments. The scene showing Fern's transformation into Vylette immediately springs to mind.
