* BittersweetEnding: Tom is killed by falling from the lighthouse, which he kinda deserves... and after his and Vi's bodies are found, Vi's arm slumps over him possessively. The film closes on the newly-widowed Meg's horror and the mentally-scarred Sandy's tears.

The film closes on the newly-widowed Meg's horror and the mentally-scarred Sandy's tears, and then, the shot of Vi's hand on Tom's body.

added Affair Letters
Added DiffLines:
* AffairLetters: Vi secretly meets Tom in the lighthouse, but Tom tells her that their relationship is over and he's going to marry Meg. Then Vi mentions that she still has Tom's love letters, subtly threatening to use them for blackmail if he crosses her. If Vi was Tom's ex-lover that he broke up with before he was engaged to Meg, he could just tell Meg the truth. But since Tom is worried about Meg and her family seeing the letters, it must mean that Tom was having an affair with Vi even ''during'' his relationship with Meg.

* MonochromeCasting: A common feature of movies at the time, but made all the more noticeable since Tom is supposed to be a jazz musician, yet his friend group is as white as snow.

* RailingKill: Vi, almost the {{blind seer}}ess, and ultimately Tom. Vi leans against the faulty lighthouse railing which breaks and Tom doesn't save her, the blind Mrs. Ellis is seemingly lured by Vi's ghost to almost fall through the same gap, and Tom, seeing the spectre of Vi, backs over the edge.

** The wedding ceremony. The doors flying open, candles going out and Bible pages turning to a funeral rite could be seen as merely gusts of wind; however, the candles don't snuff out abruptly but rather die gently, and there's the matter of the wilting flowers -- including the bridal bouquet.

The doors flying open, candles going out and Bible pages turning to a funeral rite could be seen as merely gusts of wind; however, the candles don't snuff out abruptly but rather die gently, and there's the matter of the wilting flowers -- including the bridal bouquet. The finale of the film suggests that there has indeed been ghostly activity going on.

* VillainousRescue: Towards the end of the film where Tom is psyching himself up to murder Sandy at the lighthouse, Vi appears and flys at him, scaring him over the broken railing to his death. Considering she earlier goaded him into killing the ferryman and nearly lured the blind housekeeper to her death just for fun, this was more about finally getting her revenge on Tom than any care for Sandy's well being.
