* AbusiveParents: Marcus' mother was very authoritative. When she did not like her son's girlfriend, she forced him to kill her.
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler: Marcus tries to rape Rose. She escapes by stabbing him with a shard of glass.]]
* AxCrazy: And he's living deep inside the house!
* BasementDweller: Marcus was known to leave the house only for church. He stayed in the basement when the Halshfords moved in.

* CassandraTruth: Rose insists to anyone who'll listen that there is something/someone inside the house that is responsible on the unusual things going on, including the disappearances of a young woman and the previous owner. [[spoiler: She's right.]] Her father just dismisses her as developing the same illness that plagued Rose's mom, while her new love interest thinks its the grief over her mom's death psychologically manifesting itself.
* CatapultNightmare
* ChekhovsGun: The hidden passage that Rose's love interest Noah finds while working on the home and informs Rose about kicks off the final act of the film when she goes to check it out, leading to [[spoiler: Rose finally discovering Rachel's fate and encountering Marcus, thus vindicating herself, and finding an abducted Leila in time to save her]].
