Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Sick / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The film takes place during the early days of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020 and much of it is reflected in the plot. For a specific example, the plot point about "COVID only killing old or sick people", and super-spreader college parties. There were multiple stories throughout 2020 of college students throwing parties in defiance of CDC rules and later dying of COVID. | |

Soft Glass: Subverted. Miri smashes a wine bottle into Pamela’s head, with her and Parker pushing Pamela through a glass door. While Pamela later rises up to attack the girls again, she is bloodied and seriously injured. | |

| Sick / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Similar to co-writer Kevin Williamson’s previous writing efforts, the film has moments of dark comedy even when the mood is almost completely dead serious, including Pamela constantly reminding Jason to wear his mask even after he nearly assaults Parker. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Early on, DJ uses a pair of deer antlers to fight off the killer. Parker finishes off Jason, one of the killers, by pushing him over the upstairs railing so that he is impaled on it. Parker makes a strange drink with her blender. She uses the blender as a bludgeoning weapon to lay a vicious beatdown on the youngest killer, the son of Jason and Pamela. | |

Once is Not Enough | |
| Sick / int_2b2d9e53 | comment |
Once is Not Enough: A few examples, as to be expected in a slasher film. Nicely subverted once, where after Parker smashes the killer across the face she continues to beat his face into a bloody mess. This still doesn't quite finish him off, but it was a good effort. | |

Dead Guy Puppet | |
| Sick / int_3a153596 | comment |
Dead Guy Puppet: Well, Almost Dead Guy Puppet, and damn close at that. Parker approaches DJ when he starts to come through the door looking wounded, only to see that the killer had him speared on a curtain rod that was being used to manipulate him. Once the remaining duo screams, he thrusts the rod through the rest of the way, sealing DJ's fate. | |

Also played around with. Parker is a sociable and extroverted party girl who has hooked up with some guys and is a bit irresponsible when it comes to masking and COVID (to the point of unknowingly infecting a boy), which doesn't really fit the "innocent virgin" that the archetype typically requires. Parker, however, is good-natured regardless. Her friend Miri is more responsible, kindhearted, and resourceful, which does fit the archetype better. Both survive and take down the murderers together. | |

Callousness Towards Emergency | |
| Sick / int_763c2336 | comment |
Callousness Towards Emergency: While Parker is struggling with the killer on the side of the road, a car comes up and allows Parker to get the upper hand and get the driver to stop. However, the woman doesn't allow her in the car until she is masked up despite the fact that the killer is mere feet away. This turns out to be a subversion, as the woman (Pamela) is actually one of the killers and wanted to drug Parker with the mask she offers her, which is chloroformed. Parker and Tyler are much more chill about the impact of COVID-19 and upholding restrictions than Miri, whose father is ill. This turns out to be foreshadowing for why the killers are specifically after them both, but not (initially) Miri — they showed a similar callousness in holding an "end of the world" party. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A downplayed version of "hero". DJ speculates that Parker knew his friends would record her kissing Benji for Operation: Jealousy purposes. Though she denies it (somewhat unconvincingly), this recording is what allows Benji's grieving family to track her down, kill DJ, and try to kill Parker and Miri. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Sick / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The killer in the beginning taunts Tyler by texting him, inviting him to a party and asking if he had a COVID test. The killers are revealed to be avenging their son Benji who died of COVID, killing Tyler for infecting Parker, who in turn infected Benji at a party. Parker is somewhat blasé about the possibility of catching COVID, to which Miri counters by saying that young people have gotten the illness. Not only does it turn out that Parker herself has COVID (albeit is asymptomatic), she accidentally infected Benji, leading to the latter's death and the events of the film. Parker mentions to Miri that Benji "ghosted" her after the party. As she learns later, he caught COVID and died mere days before the film begins. One of the killers shouts in anguish when they see that the first killer has been (seemingly) killed. This foreshadows that the killers' relationship to one another is deeper than simply allies - they're family. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| Sick / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: "Sick" can mean "medically ill", and the plot is centered around events and concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, or it can mean "depraved" as in "sick and twisted", which the killings certainly are. The word is also invoked as a slang compliment within the film when Miri calls Parker's dad's cabin "sick" in awe. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Parker has a moment of palpable sympathy with the killers when she realizes that they want her dead for her killing their son, and that he died alone at the hospital due to the pandemic.

Final Girl: Subverted. While it looks like Miri dies and leaves Parker alone, she ends up surviving the movie alongside Parker, and both equally fill out the archetype. Also played around with. Parker is a sociable and extroverted party girl who has hooked up with some guys and is a bit irresponsible when it comes to masking and COVID (to the point of unknowingly infecting a boy), which doesn't really fit the "innocent virgin" that the archetype typically requires. Parker, however, is good-natured regardless. Her friend Miri is more responsible, kindhearted, and resourceful, which does fit the archetype better.

Irony: Pamela intends to cover evidence linking her family to the murders in the cabin by burning down the house, saying that "irresponsible girls start irresponsible fires". She dies when Parker pours gasoline on her, and Miri lights her up. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sick / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The "baby and the snake" urban legend is also told by Cliff in Dawson's Creek, in an episode written by Kevin Williamson. Two characters are named Jason and Pamela, a clear reference to the killers from Friday the 13th. Jason Voorhees is even name-dropped by Miri. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: A few characters end up being impaled — DJ and Jason in particular, the former by a metal pike and the latter by a bunch of antlers. | |

Playing Possum: Miri does this after being injured. The killer is distracted by Parker before he can verify if she's dead or not. | |

Trust Password | |
| Sick / int_cafdaf4e | comment |
Trust Password: Parker breaks into the nearest cabin to try to ask for help when the door isn't answered, and the neighbor meets her with a shotgun. She's panicked because she's being followed by a killer and quickly rambles off information about her past acquaintance with his daughter, proving she knows him and getting him to relax. The killer slashes his throat the second the neighbor agrees to take her to the phone. | |

Action Girl | |
| Sick / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Action Girl: Parker. And additionally, Miri. Parker beats up Jason and Pamela's son by herself, and then Miri finishes him off with a knife to the neck. Parker and Miri again work together to kill Jason, and then Miri gets to burn Pamela alive after Parker pours gasoline all over her. | |

Decoy Protagonist | |
| Sick / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: The movie initially follows Tyler, a young man who attended the same party as Parker who is preparing for his own quarantine. While initially seeming like he'd be a main character, he instead ends up being the opening kill. | |
