* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Jake is a socially awkward young man, while his girlfriend is a vivacious, intelligent young woman. His mother is delighted that he met someone as lively and intelligent as her. [[spoiler:Later, though, it is heavily implied that the young woman isn't real, instead an idealized encounter of a real person he briefly interacted with once, brought to life by the films and literature he consumes -- which why she takes on characteristics of the fiction they discuss and the works seen in his room.]]

Adding new examples.

Added DiffLines:

* FanDisservice: [[spoiler: The Janitor]] takes all his clothes off and spends the last few minutes naked. It's rather disturbing and depressing rather than appealing, due to [[spoiler: The Janitor]] having some hallucinations due to hypothermia and him being an out-of-shape old man.


Added DiffLines:

* NakedNutter: [[spoiler: The Janitor starts stripping himself naked in his car (due to hypothermia) begins hallucinating about him going back to school and meets a maggot-infested pig while in the nude]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: In a sense. While the novel was a fantasy from Jake as he dies, the film is built more around his thoughts possibly leading up to the event and while he definitely dies in the novel, it's left ambiguous whether he eventually follows through with the act here, albeit with the heavy implication that he does.]]

It revolves around a young woman (Creator/JessieBuckley) going with her new boyfriend Jake (Creator/JessePlemons) to meet his parents (Creator/ToniCollette and Creator/DavidThewlis) at their remote farm in the middle of a snowstorm, all the while apprehensive as she has been having second thoughts about their relationship. The ensuing interaction only makes things [[FromBadToWorse more stressful from there]].
