| 6 | !!This film contains examples of: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | * AccidentalMarriage: The film opens the morning after its leads get hitched in Las Vegas |
| 9 | * AutoErotica: Complete with something bad directly following the act's conclusion. |
| 10 | * BMovie: At first it looks like its going to be a deconstruction, but questionable green screen effects and narmful acting will make sure this is remembered as one no matter what it's director's intent actually was. |
| 11 | * ChromaKey: The film makes heavy use of green screen shooting. Probably as a result of being shot as a 3D release, many of the green screen shots have an extremely strange quality to them that borders on SpecialEffectFailure. |
| 12 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Gina has one, however [[spoiler: it turns out to be a RedHerring]]. |
| 13 | * FilmNoir: Almost to the extent of feeling like a parody in the beginning, but played deadly straight from the second act on. |
| 14 | %%* FutureMeScaresMe |
| 15 | %%* IHatePastMe |
| 16 | * ImpassableDesert: A very weird paranormal take on this trope. |
| 17 | * LightningCanDoAnything: [[spoiler: Lightning seems to accompany each shift in time]] |
| 18 | * NoEnding: [[spoiler: Thanks to the stable timeloop, we don't know for sure who killed Gina (although there's one strong suspect), or the other women for that matter. We have no idea why the cars at the rest stop had been there for so long even when the rest stop was still "open", or how the location of the rest stop moved from about a mile from Bloody Face's grave to almost on top of it. And then there's a matter of that map in the rest stop...]] |
| 19 | * StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler: This would seem to be what Dick and Gina have wondered in to]] |
| 20 | * TheSheriff: Creator/RonPerlman, in a memorable bit part |
| 21 | * TheReveal: The final moments of the film has a big one. |
| 22 | * TheUnreveal: TheReveal is also a giant Unreveal, answering one question but putting basically everything else up for grabs. |
