* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Cotton Marcus seems to be partially inspired on Marjoe Gortner, a former Pentecostal child preacher who later released [[Film/{{Marjoe}} a documentary]] exposing how he was groomed by his parents and explaining all of the tricks used by evangelists to manipulate the public via allowing the filmmakers to follow him on [[OneLastJob one last tour]].

** Caleb is cold and hostile to Cotton when he believes he's a real exorcist, but switches his tune when he figures out that he's a fraud, having no issue with him staying. Seems like a bizarre switch in attitude, especially when his own sister is supposed to be possessed, even if you assume that he just thinks she's sick. [[spoiler: Then it turns out he's in league with the cult. If Cotton was in fact a real exorcist, he could've been a threat to his, and their, plans.]]

Added DiffLines:
* DeconReconSwitch: The film starts out as a deconstruction of DemonicPossession movies. Cotton is a charlatan who lost his faith in God long ago, and the various cases of possession that he tackles are portrayed as [[PlaceboEffect psychosomatic]], signs of mental illness as expressed by people brought up to believe that demons are real. The thing is, the exorcisms are ''also'' psychosomatic, and Cotton's work is shown to genuinely help those who believe that they're possessed by making them believe that the demons have been driven out of them, which is the reason why he kept doing it for so long. [[spoiler:And when it turns out that, in this case, the demon is RealAfterAll, this knowledge restores Cotton's faith in God just in time for [[BolivianArmyEnding the final confrontation]].]]

Added DiffLines:
* FriendToAllChildren: Cotton explains that one of reasons why he's helping Daniel and Iris debunk exorcisms is because he once read an article of an autistic child being suffocated to death during an exorcism; as such, he wants to ensure that people who are actually struggling with mental issues don't end up dead like the boy.
