* FrameUp: Every person Vos [[GrandTheftMe possesses to kill someone]] with a MindControlDevice takes the fall for the murder, since no one else knows who's really behind the crime. They're killed too afterward, so even a (likely ineffectual) claim that it wasn't them isn't heard.



* PsychicAssistedSuicide: Vos tries to make her hosts kill themselves at the end of her using them for assassinating someone, which indicates its standard procedure. They both resist this though and [[SubvertedTrope she can't force the action]].

* FanDisservice: All the sex in the movie is portrayed as such. Vos can't get over thoughts of violence when having sex with her husband, and the sight of frontal nudity involving Colin and Ava is undermined by the fact that Vos is possessing his body the whole time. Vos, while possessing Colin, also sees a British couple right before and during sex, but only because she's spying on them.
