* Imagine being in Beth's position. You're stuck in your apartment, alone and injured. Your building has been damaged and is left leaning against the next one. You hear explosions and screams outside, but have no way of trying to find out what the hell is going on. And when your friends finally get to you, you learn that ''a fucking ''{{kaiju}}'''' is rampaging through the city. And you see it coming close to your building as you and your friends try to escape in time. Oh, and you have only a limited amount of time before the military bombs the city in a desperate bid to kill the monster. That is quite a harrowing situation to be in.

* As Rob, Hud, and Beth are being evacuated, they watch as Clover is hit with missiles by the military and seemingly goes down. One of the guys cheers, clearly thinking it's over...then a roaring Clover jumps out of the smoke at the helicopter! Possibly the JumpScare to end '''all''' {{Jump Scare}}s.

** Babies spook easily. And when Clover gets skittish, buildings crumble. There's also the fact that babies have enormous appetites, and in between spooking and running away, Clover has to stop and feed. And it's surrounded by tasty little treats: '''Us'''.

* One last scare the film gives us is at the end when it shows an old video of Rob and Beth having fun on a ferris wheel. [[NothingIsScarier It's very subtle and easy to miss,]] but if you look closely at [[FreezeFrameBonus the ocean in the shot]], you'll see ''something'' falling into it.

* Listen closely as the credits end and you can hear Rob's voice weakly calling for help, raising all sorts of FridgeHorror regarding his fate on its own. However, listening to it ''[[https://youtu.be/bXskaIJ7V0Q reversed]]'' [[TheBadGuyWins elevates the horror]] to a whole new level...

* The scene where Hud comes face-to-face with Clover. We don't even get a cheap JumpScare; Hud turns around and the monster is [[StealthHiBye just]] ''[[StealthHiBye there]]''. It doesn't roar or take any sort of predatory stance, just stares into the camera, takes a sniff, then...CHOMP.
