Tropes for the film:
- Alliterative Name: Bill Brown.
- Anaphora: "So" for emphasis in the tagline:A horror story...so intense, so barbaric, so frightening...it will have you running to your local Army recruiter
- Cram School: The plot is about an SAT prep course, and Marlon's recurring nightmare is about "two men, A and B", the Alice and Bob of SAT questions.
- Tagline: "A horror story...so intense, so barbaric, so frightening...it will have you running to your local Army recruiter".
- Vertigo Effect: Used on a mailbox.
