** Tyler asks Nana if she knows who ''[[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Tyler, the Creator]]'' is, and says he shares a similar sound to him from a rap standpoint.
** The RunningGag of Tyler using female pop stars as swear words. When he tries unsuccessfully to get his mom to understand how creepy the grandparents are, he lets out an exasperated "Carrie Underwood"!

** How much of Nana's interactions with the children was an act? [[spoiler: Pop Pop seems to be the brains behind what is going on. She does have her creepy moments but it isn't until the end of the film where she physically attacks one of the children, and by then it seems like she has gone completely off the deep end. For all we know, Pop Pop killed the grandparents by himself and just brought poor Nana along for the ride.]]

* AngstWhatAngst: [[spoiler: The end of the movie has Becca and Tyler seeming to suffer no ill psychological effects of being held prisoner by two mentally ill people, learning their grandparents and one other woman they met had been murdered, or having to murder two dangerous people themselves. The credits even play over Tyler rapping about their entire experience.]]

** If you've seen the trailers for the movie, you may remember Nana saying the line, "Can you get ''inside'' the oven to clean it?", and you wre probably conflicted over whether or not that was supposed to be scary.

** [[spoiler: A minor one but both Tyler and Becca's inability to come to grips with the departure of their father, who abandoned them and their mother. In particular when Tyler asks her Becca if she feels worthless regarding their father running out of their lives. Cue cutting to Becca crying in private and lamenting over how her father simply gave her a ''card'' to say goodbye]].

*MonsterSobStory: [[spoiler: Nana]], near the climax of the film. [[spoiler: She's shown throughout the entire movie as a really, really sick woman, both physical and mentally. But unlike Pop Pop, who spent the entire week putting up an act, her 'normal' moments with the kids are implied to be genuine. Seeing her mental health slowly degenerating, culminating at the point where she breaks down to tears and tries to choke herself with a scarf can be particularly heartbreaking, specially due to Deanna Dunagan's brilliant performance.]]

** Doubly so when one considers that [[spoiler:''everyone'' had nothing but good things to say about the real grandparents, who seemed to be truly kind and understanding people. Given the issues Becca and Tyler were working through, their grandparents probably could have given a lot of support. Not to mention, the grandparents sounded very excited to meet their grandchildren for the first time, only to lose that chance because they told someone and it went badly.]]

* {{Squick}}: Nana projectile vomiting at night, coupled with the "lovely" shot of her in her undergarments the next night.
** Pop Pop keeping all his dirty diapers in the shed out back. [[spoiler: Nana's explanation seems reasonable, but considering the mental instability of both of them, he could just be doing it for no real reason at all. ]]
*** [[spoiler: Made even worse during the climax of the film, when germaphobe Tyler gets a dirty diaper shoved into his face by Pop Pop.]]
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: The fate of Tyler and Becca's real grandparents, especially when you also take into account that their mom never got to reconcile with them before they were killed, despite being given several opportunities to do so beforehand.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Becca being asked by Nana to clean the oven is incredibly unnerving, especially given how the grandmother becomes somewhat detached and insists that Becca put her ''entire body'' in to clean it properly. [[spoiler:The second time is even worse, since the children now know that their "grandparents" are impostors and this time, Nana ''shuts the door while Becca's inside'' to wipe off the door. The oven door, incidentally, is what has the knobs to turn it on. It's understandable why Tyler tries to have her let him do it instead.]]

** Another big part of it is that the film is as much comedy as horror, rather than his attempts at deadly serious films that ended up full of unintentional laughs.
