* NightmareFuel: The entire Third Wave. It's an ebola-like disease that is spread by birds. The first two waves, being an EMP and a flood, mainly served to knock out the infrastructure ahead of the Third Wave; this is what kills most of the population. Cassie and others are terrified of birds after the Third Wave, and the audience is likely to be as well.

* CriticalDissonance: The film has received largely negative reviews from critics, who claim that it's derivative of other YA dystopian works, but it has received more positive reception from audiences (B- on [=CinemaScore=], on a scale of A+ to F) and a number of 5 star reviews on iTunes.
