* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler: After a whole film of feeling helpless against the horrors of the Deep Sea, Norah gets two people to safety and ensures it by blowing up the entire station - which wipes out all the fish people and the creature itself. With WordOfGod confirming it's Cthulhu himself, it's very satisfying. And while there's nothing that says he couldn't respawn, clearly Norah hurt him enough that he hasn't retaliated eight months later.]]

* CriticalBacklash: Critics were not kind to the film, only giving it a 45% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Horror fans largely checked it out to see if it was as bad as they said - and many express surprise, or were downright shocked and indignant, at the low rating.
