Pray for death
  • "I have a message for you - and you're not going to like it: pray for death."
  • The entire "broadcast" is just creepy as all get out.
    • "This is not a dream... not a dream. We are using your brain's electrical system as a receiver. We are unable to transmit through conscious neural interference. You are receiving this broadcast as a dream. We are transmitting from the year one, nine, nine, nine. You are receiving this broadcast in order to alter the events you are seeing. Our technology has not developed a transmitter strong enough to reach your conscious state of awareness, but this is not a dream. You are seeing what is actually occurring for the purpose of causality violation."
  • "You will not be saved by the holy ghost. You will not be saved by the god Plutonium. In fact, YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED!"
  • The disappearing card illusion turning into an actual disappearing card.
  • Howard's speech about an Anti-God and the implication of that concept is down right chilling.
    • "Suppose what your faith has said is essentially correct. Suppose there is a universal mind controlling everything, a God willing the behavior of every subatomic particle. Now, every particle has an anti-particle, its mirror image, its negative side. Maybe...this universal mind resides in the mirror image instead of in our universe as we wanted to believe. Maybe he's anti-God, bringing ''darkness'' instead of light..."
  • Calder after being possessed is a walking nightmare fuel unto himself.
  • The trailer. Especially the last shot...
  • One of the possessed homeless people tearing Wyndham apart with a pair of box cutters.
  • Catherine after going through the mirror.
