Complete Monster: This depiction of The Rake portrays it as a tormenting demon-like entity that takes as much joy in emotionally destroying its victims as much as it does slaughtering them. The Rake possesses its victims, causing them to commit murder and self-mutilation; it does this to murderer Jacob Murphy, before having him kill his psychiatrist and said psychiatrist's wife, then killing himself in front of their children Ben and Ashley. The Rake haunted them for years, even tormenting Ashley into having a traumatizing abortion by threatening her unborn child, leaving her broken ever since. When Ashley's cousin Nicole announces her pregnancy, the Rake taunts Ashley with visions and nightmares, before stating its intent on targeting Nicole's unborn baby. The Rake proceeds to slaughter the guests as Nicole's pregnancy celebration and tricks Ben into shooting Ashley. The Rake then possesses Ben, having him kill himself before manifesting from his corpse. The film ends with the Rake menacingly reaching towards a crying Nicole as they are surrounded by police.
Follow the Leader: The film takes more than a few cues from another creepypasta icon's film debut, namely the concept of the monster possessing people into committing horrible crimes. This is especially notable since this is a major departure from the original conception of The Rake as an Animalistic Abomination.
The Rake's final form. What was probably meant to be a horrific Body Horror transformation into a blood-soaked monstrosity ended up being Narm, due to the fact that he looks like Pumpkin Head had sex with KeyFace. The fact that his left arm ends in an organic hook is just that much funnier.
Nicole claims to be able to "take care of herself", yet in the climax, she does anything but that. She doesn't really do anything except call the police.
