* QuestionableConsent: Kathryn and Milja are desperate for food and shelter. The Survivalist has a bed and a shotgun. So Milja sleeps with him. The Survivalist is not used to company, so the gun is probably to protect himself from her possible threat, and not to force her compliance, but if Milja didn't sleep with him, then she and Kathryn would have been sleeping outside.

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Averted. When Milja becomes pregnant, she attempts to induce abortion [[{{Squick}} with a copper rod]], but it fails. She isn't portrayed as bad for this (and did it at her mother's advice), especially given the {{crapsack world}} they find themselves in. However, later she's accepted her situation. [[spoiler: The movie ends with her discussing what to name the baby.]]

!!Tropes in this film:

* AerithAndBob: Kathryn and her daughter Milja.
* AfterTheEnd: The film starts with a graphic showing a red line for world population and a blue line for oil production. They go up, then the blue line falls down, and then the red line falls down, and down, and down. That's your backstory.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. The Survivalist has two shells for his shotgun. Later, the team get a revolver with one bullet left.
* DVDBonusContent: The disc comes with three short films:
** "Awaydays": A prequel, in which a CrazySurvivalist teaches his two young sons to shoot.
** "Insulin": A separate story in the world of the main film.
** "Magpie": A pilot version of the main film, with a more predatory Survivalist.
* {{Fanservice}}: If you are a fan of the male body, the The Survivalist will service you.
* FanDisservice:
** The first time we see Milja naked, there is QuestionableConsent to contend with.
** On another occasion, she is attempting to perform an abortion on herself.
** When we see Kathryn naked there is no coercion or threat (she's swimming in the river), but she's not as young and pert as her daughter, and some people won't find that attractive.
* NoNameGiven: The Survivalist's name is never given.
* PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo: [[spoiler: Kathryn wants to kill The Survivalist and take over his patch. Milja says that she will cook a meal with poison mushrooms. No one swaps their dishes around when the meal is eaten, but we find out that Milja gave the poison to Kathryn, which she intended, but the audience probably were not expecting.]]
* QuestionableConsent: Kathryn and Milja are desperate for food and shelter. The Survivalist has a bed and a shotgun. So Milja sleeps with him.
* WeHaveToGetTheBulletOut: The Survivalist gets shot, and Kathryn and Milja dig out the bullet. They note that it's still in one piece.
