And it’s the same rifle that’s on a poster in Matthew’s room that you see when you’re first introduced to Archer in his bed. Thought that was my first tie and I initially left it at that, by the end and in thinking on it more after I walked out, you’re right. There’s definitely more to it.
The witch shows up with a tree, using the branches to control and cast a spell over her victims.
The movie is about what we fear most in society: our children are weapons; we are being used as weapons against each other.
Our schools are unsafe. The name tags of each child; personalized with rainbows and features to express their identities are used to infect them. The fear of indoctrination in the schools, perhaps?

2:17 could be the ratio of victims the witch had. 2 adults (Alex’s parents) and the 17 children!
Interesting. But by the end there are a few more adults who are her victims, so that ratio doesn't work.
