* Gage’s death is this mixed with NightmareFuel. Just the shot of his bloody sneaker, and Louis’ BigNo is as heartbreaking as it is blood-chilling.

** Ellie carrying around Gage's picture, and sitting in his little director's chair. Trying to keep Gage alive, on her Hot 100, you know, in case [[{{Irony}} he comes back...]]

** Zelda, while a memorably cynical subversion of standard IllGirl tropes (she was deeply embittered by her circumstances and got her only semblance of joy out of inconveniencing her caretakers, a circumstance which Louis notes [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome is far more common than the romanticized stereotype]]), was nonetheless a child whose illness had deformed her so much that her own family found her frightening to look at, isolated by her parents, treated as a shameful family secret, and likely driven insane by all of the above. It's noted that in her final days, her painkillers stopped working and she was constantly screaming in agony. By the end of the ordeal, it's fully possible that her entire family, not just Rachel, was secretly looking forward to her death. Rachel believes that Zelda hated her because she was aware that she was doomed to die in bed while Rachel was going to live.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* Rachel's memory of Zelda's death in the film, as [[NightmareFuel scary]] and [[UncannyValley unnerving]] as it is, is also really tragic because of the circumstances. Here is this little girl home alone with a sister that she subconsciously wished was dead, felt like she would be blamed for not only wishing her sister was gone but for being unable to help her.
