- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Lauren's opening nightmare, which is black and white, and sets Cara (who is vomiting blood and trying to strangle her) up as malevolent.
- Complete Monster: James Spence begins life as an ordinary maintenance man with no glaring peculiarities. Spence was, in actuality, a Serial Rapist and Serial Killer of children, and had murdered five children around the US before settling on a young girl named Cara, repeatedly raping her and coaxing her into staying quiet under the threat of hurting her sister. Spence eventually murders Cara and is executed for his crimes before an ill-fated séance accidentally summons his spirit back onto the grounds of the murder. Now a malevolent specter, Spence takes delight in tormenting the inhabitants of the dormitory, raping, torturing, and eventually murdering Alison with wires and strangling a security guard before leaving him to bleed out. After a failed attempt to destroy him grants him the ability to Body Surf, Spence utilizes this to slit Diego's throat whilst in his body and attempting to pick off the survivors one by one so he can spend the rest of his undead life surfing from host to host to stay alive. A serene, manipulative pedophile in life and a vicious, murderous ghost in death, Spence is one of the vilest undead beings to grace modern cinema.
- Special Effects Failure: Some rain.
- Squick: Geez girls, that sink is filthy.
