* AnimalMotif - Black dobermans appear a lot in the movie, apparently symbolizing the hell hounds they appear to be.
* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever - While not exactly driving it's self like you would expect in ''Film/MaximumOverdrive''; the device still manages to be a menace by causing the deaths of 3 people.
* BloodMagic - Blood is apparently its fuel source after all, not petrol.
* DemonicPossession - If you driving the thing it takes you over and makes you go off road and make yourself prone to death by design after it possesses someone else to do it's deadly work.
* HauntedTechnology - More like ''demonic truck'' but same principle..
* SealedEvilInACan - Apparently a lot of it.
