  • Jennifer can be incredibly creepy when she wants to be, most notably in her first post-possession scene. Also, the moments before her reveal are almost unbearably tense.
    • In the same scene, Needy grips Jennifer's wrist, only to drop it and back away in horror, implying that Jennifer no longer has a pulse.
  • Jennifer's murder is horrific, with her being tied down, unable to do anything but sob and beg for her life. Meanwhile, Low Shoulder (especially the lead singer, Nikolai) laugh at Jennifer's distress and joke around to bolster themselves, going as far as singing the "867-5309/Jenny" song (since Jenny is short for Jennifer) before Nikolai kills Jennifer. Nikolai also looks to enjoy stabbing Jennifer a little too much. The only guy in the band with any reservations about the whole thing is Dirk.
    Jennifer: Are you guys rapists?!
  • The bar burning down is utterly horrifying. Several people die, and we're treated to several shots of people being burned alive and trampled in the ensuing panic.
    • The idea of Low Shoulder possibly being the ones who started the fire makes the band more diabolical, willing to endanger and kill dozens of innocent people on top of abducting and killing Jennifer afterward, all just to get fame and fortune.
  • Stick off during the first part of the credits, and you see the aftermath of the band's sudden murder by a superpowered Needy.
