Privilege Makes You Evil: Reconstructed. Zach appears to be a subversion, as the nice son of a predatory farmer. However, in reality, he was driven to insanity by his dad and by what he saw as his classmates' hypocrisy, as he could "help" being born with privilege. So he went on a killing spree. Makani chews Zach out for this “motive� when she’s stabbing him at the end.

Adaptational Modesty: In the book, Ollie is regarded as a sociopath for trying to kill himself after a failed attempt at having sex with a prostitute and he fights the killer naked after he and Makani are having sex prior to being attacked. Both of these elements are removed by the film.

Police Are Useless: Invoked and played straight, the police department is at risk of being dissolved and replaced with private security. Throughout the film, they fail to stop the killer, and even release Ollie without much explanation why or warning, causing Makani to flee in panic. Ollie's brother the deputy even loses a taser through the evening while questioning students. That said, in the climax of the film we see several private security guards hired to protect the corn maze dead, while no police are shown harmed.

Katie’s speech in the cafeteria about Darby’s Coming-Out Story and their bravery in doing so is done in a way that appears to be well-intentioned but ultimately humiliating to Darby, unbeknownst to Katie. Of course, Katie was trying to humiliate Darby, considering her status as a bigoted Bitch in Sheep's Clothing that leads to her demise.

Adaptation Personality Change: The masked killer is a vile monster in both the book and film, but his personality varies between mediums. In the book, he is a cold and detached sociopath, while the film adaptation makes him more emotional and openly psychotic.

Asshole Victim: At first the killer appears to be invoking this trope by going after people with legitimately bad secrets, like the jock who beat up the gay kid, or the choir girl who recorded a bigoted podcast. But then the killer continues to kill people with secrets even if they are only problems to themselves.

You Keep Using That Word: People keep using "sociopath" to describe the killer and any potential suspects. The killer points out how no one knows the definition of sociopath anymore and that if they were one, they wouldn't have any emotional investment in their kills which they certainly do.

comment
Foreshadowing: After the first murder, the killer is shown printing up custom masks. This is not a cheap piece of equipment, showing the killer has to be fairly well-off. In a Shout-Out to Scream (1996), Zach’s hair is styled similar to Skeet Ulrich’s character Billy Loomis, subtly foreshadowing his status as the killer of the film. Katie’s speech in the cafeteria about Darby’s Coming-Out Story and their bravery in doing so is done in a way that appears to be well-intentioned but ultimately humiliating to Darby, unbeknownst to Katie. Of course, Katie was trying to humiliate Darby, considering her status as a bigoted Bitch in Sheep's Clothing that leads to her demise.

Adults Are Useless: Makani's grandmother goes to a nightly sleep trial when students from Makani's class are being killed off by a psychotic murderer, and doesn't even think about getting someone to stay with her or to go stay somewhere else. Zach's father is an ambiguously abusive tyrant. Ollie's brother seems okay, but even he mentions that his parents were neglectful alcoholics prior to their deaths.

Red Herring: There's a couple of scenes that make two characters seem like the killer. Ollie's brother while interrogating Makani seems menacing and intense, before breaking out in a goofy moment to write down a cool line. The lone Uber driver is incredibly creepy, fishing for Makani to reveal her secrets while badmouthing prior victims.

Evil is Petty: In what's the killer's monologue in the finale Zach complains that Makani and Ollie interrupted and forced him to kill his dad quickly instead of hearing him grovel more and giving Zach a chance to deliver a one-liner. Later complaining that all the murders were really hard work, and making the victim masks was a horribly dull chore. Culminating with a petty gripe after being called a sociopath, and that "a sociopathwouldn't be emotionally invested in the killing, which I definetly am".

Dark and Troubled Past: Makani was hazed by a bunch of older varsity girls at her old school in Hawaii, who forced her to drink heavily, resulting in her accidentally pushing a friend into a bonfire and severely injuring her. This results in Makani moving to Nebraska, and is the killer’s “reason� for wanting her dead.
