* DistantFinale: The last scene skips forward "a few months later" to find Valerie, now a vampire, at another seaside resort, seducing another young married couple.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Naturally, the car that Valerie crashes bursts into flame. This facilitates a cool shot where Elizabeth, having been skewered on a tree branch, burns to a crisp.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: When Valerie crashes the car, Elizabeth flies right through the windshield, and lands on the branch of a dead tree where she's impaled. The tree branch comes out the back!
* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: Ends with a shot of Valerie walking away with her new victims.

* TheXOfYWeakenedByTheLight: A confusing example at the end. Elizabeth seems to be unable to go into the light, just like your average vampire--she says stuff like "Hurry, the day is coming," and "Don't let me be caught in the light." But Elizabeth and Valerie are too slow getting rid of Stefan's body, and sure enough, the sunlight peeking over the trees hits them as they're speeding down a country road. They both scream, Valerie flips the car...yet somehow Valerie survives and is still a vampire in the last scene. How did she get away?
