* AmbiguouslyHuman: It’s difficult to tell whether Marz is just a man who survived being hanged or a genuine undead monster. His gray skin and apparent inability to speak seem to suggest the latter, though.

An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 23 (click to see context) :
* AnAxeToGrind: On the campground, there's an axe that is stuck to an old treestump, which two men together fail to remove. Later, Marz comes across it and to prove how freakishly strong he is, removes with only one hand. He then uses it as his primary weapon for the rest of the film.
