* HoYay: Not unlike [[Film/SawI Dr. Gordon and Adam]], some shippers note this in Detective Lipton's constant tailing of Jamie.

Added DiffLines:

* CatharsisFactor: Granted, it doesn't stop Mary Shaw [[spoiler:or save him in the end, but Jamie burning all of Mary's evil dolls to cinder can be rather cathartic after the wicked ghost has been using them to terrorize and murder for generations.]] Perhaps the only loss Mary takes in the whole film.


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The film plays off at first that Mary Shaw was a victim of allegations and lies which lead to her death and gives us a reason to see why she's such a vengeful and angry spirit..but yet [[spoiler: the film later on shows that ''yes'', she DID in fact kill Michael Ashen. [[DisappropriateRetribution All because he heckled her at a performance]]]]. It makes her less sympathetic despite being seen as a CompleteMonster.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Edward Ashen merely the asshole father Jamie believes he is, or has he deliberately tried to distance himself from his son in hope that he would not become one of Mary Shaw's targets? Note that Jamie spent most of his childhood away from Raven's Fair: that may have been part of his father's attempt to keep him safe from Mary's vengeance, as she WouldHurtAChild.

* {{Narm}}: If you get the FridgeBrilliance the first time you see the movie, then [[spoiler: the part about Edward being turned into a ventriloquist doll, especially the scene with his back hollowed to make room for the wooden shaft]] can become really hilarious.
