"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: The film itself is pretty forgettable, but Creator/SamClaflin and Creator/OliviaCooke give it their all anyway, turning in legitimately great performances.
* WhatAnIdiot: Despite very ''clear'' evidence that Jane is [[spoiler:possessed by a demonic entity]], Professor Coupland continues to dismiss any notion of supernatural activity, saying that it can all be rationally and scientifically explained. Keep in mind that this is in light of [[spoiler: him being attacked by Evey in the closet, a demon clearly appearing in Jane's bio-electrical readout, and, most telling of all, a giant demon tentacle firing from Jane's mouth]], all of which ''is caught on film''.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Krissi and Jane's screaming. It tends to be [[SensoryAbuse ear-splittingly loud]], and, especially in the case of Krissi, usually done to evoke a cheap JumpScare.

* {{Narm:}} Thanks to the rampant fakeouts with the jump scares, moments that were supposed to be played off as suspenseful and frightening later on in the film will only meet with an already jaded audience.

* MoralEventHorizon: Professor Coupland firmly crosses it when he tries to [[spoiler:kill Jane,]] although (in an in-universe sense), he already crossed it with Brian when he tried to [[spoiler: burn her arm during a session.]]

* TooDumbToLive: Krissi. Evey tries to kill her twice, and she even acknowledges it. Despite that, instead of going into hiding as far away from Evey as possible, she goes back into the household, [[spoiler: which gets her brutally killed.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The student who gets downright antagonistic with Professor Coupland at the very start of the movie ''(and much later on with Brian at the library)'' could have been a potentially poignant moral foil to the experiment, especially when the latter begins to cross the MoralEventHorizon by harming Jane to get results. He doesn't appear for a minute in either of his scenes.
