* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler: The entire premise of the killings at the hands of a deranged nun. Gertrude is just one big RedHerring whose declining mental state and drug addiction make her the most obvious and likely culprit. But, it turns out that her lover, Sister Mathieu, is the real killer, who's also mentally traumatized after apparently being molested by her grandfather in her youth, and kills older patients for revenge.]]

!! Provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: While Sister Gertrude's real-life inspiration was alleged to have made passes on the other nuns in her convent, there is no evidence that she actually pursued a relationship with any of them the way her film counterpart does with Sister Mathieu.
* DrugsAreBad: Sister Gertrude, fearing that her health may be in decline following the removal of a brain tumor, begins stealing painkillers from the hospital where she works and soon becomes addicted, which does wonders for her mental state.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a film about a nun committing a series of murders.

* TheseGlovesAreMadeForKillin: A nun wearing pink rubber gloves commits a series of murders at a Catholic hospital for the elderly. Sister Gertrude believes, at first, that she could be the culprit. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed to be Sister Mathieu though Sister Gertrude also wears them to drug and abduct Johnathan so she can question him about the killings.]]
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The story is loosely based on that of Cecile Bombeek, a Belgian nun who began exhibiting aberrant behavior following surgery to excise a brain tumor, culminating in the murder of three patients at the Catholic hospital where she worked.
