!!This film contains examples of:
* AttemptedRape: The preacher tries to force himself on Liz so she'll birth a baby for Hathawaay to possess. She stops this by [[VorpalPillow smothering him to death]].
* BigBad: Jonas Hathaway, a fanatical SinisterMinister plotting to return from the dead.
* TheChosenOne: Liz is prophesied to be the perfect person to birth a child for Hathaway to possess.
* CreepyCrows: {{Averted}}. Hathaway believed that crows were servants of Satan plotting to destroy Hope's crops. However, this belief is portrayed as inaccurate and [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals the first sign of his madness]]. [[spoiler:Meanwhile, the spirits of Hathaway's victims take crow form to wreak their vengeance.]]
* {{Cult}}: The main antagonists are a small town cult who believe the protagonist is destined to give birth to a body for their deceased founder to return in.
* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:The spirit of the cult's victims manage to slaughter them all, but Hathaway gets up again as our heroes drive off.]]
* HumanSacrifice: The cult crucifies sinners in cornfields so God will bring them prosperity.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: Hathaway crucified his victims alive and left them to starve because he felt the screams would scare the crows away.
* MandatoryMotherhood: The baddies of the film are trying to make Liz birth a child for their founder's ghost to possess.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: These are freed from their dead bodies by fire and can possess living objects or people to interact with the living, but are most powerful when possessing a newborn and growing up in the new body.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: It turns out Liz had a child before the events of the plot, but he fell out a window and died at age 2.
* PedophilePriest: [[spoiler:After Hathaway learns Liz isn't a virgin, he decides to impregnate Sabrina instead, despite her being about 10.]]
* ThePurge: In order to prevent anybody from helping Liz, the cult massacre any nonbelievers in the area, including the ''entirety of the next town over''.
* ScaryScarecrows: The cult dress their victims like scarecrows before crucifying them. In the modern day, Hathaway possesses a scarecrow to pursue Liz.
* SinisterMinister: Jonas Hathaway, a madman who convinces the people of Hope to crucify people so their crops will prosper.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: When the people of Liberty discovered Hathaway's crimes, they crucified him like he did to his victims. However, they were merciful in that they [[KillItWithFire burned him alive]] instead leaving him to starve like his victims did.
* VirginPower: The cult try to make Liz birth Hathaway's new body because they think she's a virgin. [[spoiler:When Hathaway finds out she isn't, he decides to impregnate a child she helped instead.]]
