Beth is not older than Ellie, she looks up to Ellie for advice and her actress is ~12 years younger than Ellie's


* DistaffCounterpart: To David from the 2013 remake, and furthermore to Ash from the original, being the older sibling whose little sister is possessed, and feels a sense of guilt for running off and pursuing her own happiness while said little sister dealt with bad times at home.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Scott is chased out of view of the peephole by Deadite Ellie, and we don't see how she kills him, only him getting thrown back into view later. Averted with Mr. Fonda--how he dies is not shown, but we later see that Deadite Ellie gutted him and yanked his intestines out.

-->'''Bridget''': I'm okay.

* DisappearedDad: Ellie's husband Jay walked out on her two months prior to the film for unknown reasons, and Ellie was hit hard by it, as were her kids.



* EvilSoundsDeep: Her voice frequently dips into a demonic baritone.



* TheHeavy: She is the main threat the protagonists face in the movie, while the actual BigBad is Naturom Demonto.

* NoNameGiven: The demon responsible for possession and corruption of victims is the Kandarian Demon in the original trilogy and "the Taker of Souls" or "the Abomination" in the 2013 movie. Since this is the last of the three Naturom Demonto copies, it presumably has its own evil demon with the same tactics and different results, but it is given no name, title, or alias.

* HollywoodHomely: Some glasses, a hair bun, and some minor eye bags are about as far as Ellie gets into her depiction as a struggling single mother. Once those aspects leave, she's just Alyssa Sutherland with red hair, who is gorgeous.

[[folder:Other Residents]]

Ellie's neighbors on the top floor of the high rise include Jack and Scott, a young pair of brothers, an old man named Mr. Fonda and his son Gabriel, and Jessica.

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: They live on the 14th (so, the 13th in actuality) floor of the high rise and all of them meet grisly fates.
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Jack, who is about Bridget's age, tries to invite her over for a movie marathon, but she will have none of his time.
* DefensiveFailure: Mr. Fonda comes to the aid of the others with a shotgun when Deadite Ellie attacks, but fails to keep his eyes on her once she's hit and she immediately kills him for this slip-up.
* TheDitz: Jessica manages to not notice the huge amounts of blood covering everything in the garage until the car fails to start and she has to look for a working one.
* EyeScream: Deadite Ellie brutally bites Gabriel's left eye right out of his head. [[MythologyGag And then hawks it into Jake's throat.]]
* GoryDiscretionShot: Scott is chased out of view of the peephole by Deadite Ellie, and we don't see how she kills him, only him getting thrown back into view later. Averted with Mr. Fonda--how he dies is not shown, but we later see that Deadite Ellie gutted him and yanked his intestines out.
* HopeSpot: The surrounding neighbors arriving just when Deadite Ellie is menacing her family makes it look like they're saved. The vicious sequence that follows only solidifies her as an unstoppable murderous demon.
* {{Hunk}}: Gabriel. A tall young man who walks around in a muscle shirt, which leads to...
* ImpliedLoveInterest: Gabriel is an attractive young man who Ellie immediately turns to when she fears for the safety of her children, hinting that perhaps a replacement for the missing Jay is available. He and his father are deeply religious and kind to animals, and to top it all off, he has a name of biblical origin, [[Film/EvilDead2013 much like David from the prior film]]. However, all of this is crushed hard when he becomes one of Deadite Ellie's first kills.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When introduced to Beth, Mr. Fonda refers to her as "the groupie". Beth's betrayed look at Ellie and Ellie's guilty look suggests he's simply going off what he was told.
* RedShirt: All of them are killed by Deadite Ellie to show the remaining cast what will happen to them if she's allowed to get inside the apartment.
* SlashedThroat: How Gabriel meets his demise.
* SleptThroughTheApocalypse: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Jessica heard all of the things happening while Deadite Ellie was on the rampage and lost sleep because of it, but she mistook everything she heard for thunder.
* WhamLine: ''[[spoiler:[[OhCrap That's my gun, you thievin' cunt.]]]]''
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A very gruesome display of what happens when this question is answered: Beth manages to kill the Marauder at the end, but the remaining Deadites still roam the building, leading to Jessica's possession that opens the film.

Added DiffLines:

* ColorCodedEyes: Three different eye colors are used to designate different Deadites.
** Ellie, the one originally possessed by the Evil, has extremely pale white eyes, highly contracted pupils, and red sclera.
** Deadite Jessica, Deadite Bridget and several possessed neighbors all get the SupernaturalGoldEyes used before.
** Deadite Danny has blank white ProphetEyes, which is shared with the possessed neighbors once they enter HiveMind mode.

Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Or, well, breaking it. As with the prior movies, the demon's power seems to grow as more victims become possessed, and by the time Beth and Kassie lock themselves in the elevator, it begins to [[BloodBath flood the cabin with blood]]. In a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, it turns out liquids take up space and weigh a lot more than you think, and this pushes the elevator past its 600-pound weight limit, causing it to crash. Not only that, but the liquid inside cushions Beth and Kassie just enough that their bodies aren't smashed on impact.

Added DiffLines:

* AnArmAndALeg: Dismemberment will not kill or purge these Deadites, but it will slow them down, as ScarsAreForever and they retain all wounds they accumulate. When Beth blows off Ellie's arm and leg, it forces her to [[spoiler:merge with the Bridget and Danny Deadites to gain enough limbs to pursue them.]] It's implied this is what happened when the priest on the recording tried that method as well.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her irises ''actually'' turn a very pale white, which looks blue in the corridor lighting. However, her sclera turn red and bloodshot, giving her this effect.




to:

* WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: Her look as a Deadite, with a deathly pale face and vividly red hair, making her look not unlike a demonic clown once her lips are covered in blood. Enhanced by her ProphetEyes.



* BedsheetGhost: Becomes this for a little while once she escapes the bindings Danny puts on her, but neglects to take off the plastic she's wrapped in.



* SoapboxSadie: She has a lot of elements of this, mentioning she was planning to going to a protest rally with a friend and scolding Danny as being culturally insensitive for asking Beth if she drank snake blood while in Thailand.

Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: She's noticeably hostile to being called a 'groupie', a button which the Deadites mercilessly slam more than once. At least part of her negative reaction over this seems to be because [[spoiler:she's pregnant, most likely with the child of one of the bandmates she hangs out with.]]

Added DiffLines:

* GlamourFailure: Fails to put up the right appearances when trying to trick Kassie.


Added DiffLines:

* GenreSavvy: Once Deadite Bridget goes down, he secures her to a bed with a sheet and a rope, [[SubvertedTrope which ends up being ineffective in stopping her from rising, but points for trying.]]


Added DiffLines:

* StraightGay: Trans and passes reasonably well, being played by Morgan Davies.
* TooDumbToLive: Displayed in regards to wanting to delve into a cracked vault just after an earthquake to retrieve dusty belongings, but safely averted as he is put off by the actual Naturum Demonto, which he can't translate, with the actual summoning accomplished by him unwittingly playing a recording by someone who could.


Added DiffLines:

* BigSisterInstinct: Displayed in regards to Danny and Kassie, though potentially partially subverted as it's not known whether she or Danny is the older sibling.


Added DiffLines:

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: She's still a child, but is clearly more aware of her surroundings than she lets on, and is in the habit of mutilating dolls.
* TraumaCongaLine: Her dad is gone, everyone she grew up with is possessed and died trying to kill her except for Beth, and she's witnessed horrific violence and gore well before any child should.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as its awareness she displays more than wisdom. She knows enough about the situation to understand that something is wrong with Ellie, visibly hesitating to unlocking the door when the Deadite is trying to trick her, [[ChildrenAreInnocent but eventually unlocking it anyway because she thinks or hopes her mother might've regained some of her sanity]]. Once this mistake nearly kills her, she becomes depressingly aware that her mother, and later sister and brother, aren't coming back, and commends Beth on being good at lying to children when she tries to assure her otherwise.


Added DiffLines:

* GlamourFailure: While still capable of trying to trick victims by pretending to be well and normal, Ellie's Deadite either can't or won't render its face back to normal or clean up its bloody clothes, so Kassie obviously knows something is still wrong when she thinks of letting her in.

[[folder:Deadites]]

* CompositeCharacter: These Deadites fuse qualities of both the ones from the original trilogy as well as the 2013 reboot, fitting the latter more in appearance and character but showing more qualities of the former as the movie goes on.
* FromBadToWorse: Unlike the original movie and reboot, this movie takes place not in a secluded cabin, but a populated high rise, and the characters lack the skills, knowledge, and abilities to purge the Deadites and stop the spread. As such, the situation quickly spirals, and by the end of the movie, a [[ZombieApocalypse mass outbreak]] is on the horizon.
* FusionDance: In order to chase down Beth and Kassie, [[spoiler:Deadites Ellie, Bridget, and Danny merge into one "Marauder" and become the FinalBoss.]]
* HiveMind: Once the Deadites in the corridor wake up, they all begin to act as one to kill Beth and Kassie, chanting [[CallBack "Dead by dawn!" and "No way out!"]] as they do.
* ImplacableMan: These Deadites lack the SuperStrength of those found in the 2013 version, but in contrast, are ''much'' harder to put down, and it is explicitly noted that immolation, live burial, and dismemberment--all validated as means of purging the demon in the prior movie--will not work on these ones.
* ProphetEyes: Not at first, but they all take on this appearance as the HiveMind begins to take over and the demon uses them as a single unified force.
* RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Neither of these is enough to kill a Deadite, but damage to the brain--as exhibited by both Ellie and Bridget--will "kill" the Deadite for a while until it reanimates.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: The standard Deadite eye color as fitting the trend set by the 2013 movie.
