Released in 2007, ''Carved'' is one of many recent Asian horror films featuring a vengeful spirit. Based on an urban legend of a woman who cuts her victims' mouths after asking them if they think her horrific GlasgowGrin is pretty, the movie takes it, twists it, and turns it into an entertaining story.

* AbandonedPlayground - Happens after the Slit Mouthed Woman is spotted the first time.
* AbusiveParents - One of the major plot-points of the film. [[spoiler: Mika's mother abused her to the point of leaving bruises and Noboro's origin story involves his mom beating him and his siblings, [[OffingTheOffspring killing the two siblings]] while possessed.]]
* AdultFear - The film loves this trope. Kidnappings, parental abuse, and [[spoiler: the death of two kids.]]

* ChekhovsGun - The sketchbook that Hideo had at the beginning proves helpful in finding the Kuchisake-onna's hideout.

* DownerEnding - [[spoiler: The Kuchesake-onna was "defeated" but Noboro dies and Kyoko is possessed in the end of the film.]]

%%* GlasgowGrin - Of course.
* HeroicBSOD - Kyoko has three or more during the film's course. [[spoiler: First when Mika was kidnapped before her eyes, again when the Kuchisake-onna revealed that she ended up letting a mother die and seeing the mother's now-orphaned kids.]]
%%* HeroicSacrifice - [[spoiler: Noboro]]
%%* InfantImmortality - Averted.
* {{Immortality}} - The Kuchisake-onna seems to have Type IX or XI Immortality. Justifiable as she's a spirit.
%%* StringyHairedGhostGirl - The main fiend.
* WouldHurtAChild - [[spoiler: The Kuchisake-onna kills one kid and carved a glasgow on a girl. Even then, we're treated to the sight of two skeletons of Noboro's siblings.]]
