* The phone call [[spoiler:where we hear a young girl afraid and confused about what's happening, and then jumps out the window because there was a tree near it -- all as her mother tries to communicate with her and tell her to close her window]]. Everything else can be accepted as regular horror movie gore, but damn it, that ''is'' unsettling.

* The very concept is very disturbing. Imagine you are walking down a street in a busy city, and it's just an ordinary day. Imagine everyone around you, including yourself, just stops in their tracks, and then for no reason, they just commit suicide in anyway they can. You don't know why, you don't know how, and if you get infected, ''there is nothing you can do to stop yourself from killing yourself.''
