The Bad Guy Wins: Maybe. Rowena turns out to have been the murderer, and successfully framed one of the murders on an innocent man, apparently getting away with it all in the end. However, it's implied that someone may have witnessed her commit the murder.

Bookends: The film begins with a zoom-out of Rowena's eye, beginning with the inner layers, followed by the retina and then the iris. It ends with another eye zoom-in, only it's from a bystander who saw Rowena kill Miles.

Foreshadowing: Some of Grace's playful lines to Rowena allude to her witnessing Rowena and her mother burying her father's death as a child.

Blackmail Backfire: Rowena murdered her "friend" Grace because the latter was blackmailing her, and she then murders Miles when he tries to blackmail her about setting up Hill.
