=== Distinct tropes of this film: ===
* [[Big No]]: Michael, {{spoiler|when he fails to save Jessie}}.
* [[Black Dude Dies First]]: Averted. {{spoiler|Michael turns out to be the [[Final Girl|Final Guy]]}}.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
* [[Hypocrite]]: The killers. Even though they believe that technology is bad, they apparently consider it acceptable to use technology to prove how bad it is.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Passed around quite a bit towards the end.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Nice job setting off a trap and [[Kill It Withwith Fire|roasting Kevin Daniels alive]], Detective Crenshaw}}.
* [[Space Whale Aesop]]: Remember: never drive and talk on your cell phone at the same time. {{spoiler|You may not notice that you're dragging your chained daughter down your driveway and are about to pull her apart with your car}}.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: The film starts out with a young girl being dragged down a driveaway and presumably getting pulled apart by two cars. The only difference between the beginning and ending is that {{spoiler|the ending confirms that the girl ''did'' die, and that [[The Hero Dies|she was the protagonist]]}}.
