10!!This film provides examples of:
11
12* AbusiveParents: Loriss responds to her refusing to submit to a virginity test by burning her thigh with a cigarette, and then cuts her finger to find out who took said virginity. Sustin is more caring, but still complicit. [[spoiler:That is, until she runs off with Dawai, and he whips her so badly she miscarries.]]
13* AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler:Bodey's father lists a victim of the Pit each time he whips Dawai.]]
14* AntiVillain: Sustin leads the town in its worship of the Pit, but only so the town can have its healing powers.
15* ArrangedMarriage: Ada's parents engage her to Bodey.
16* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:The Pit gets its sacrifice.]]
17* BigBad: The Pit keeps the town under its thumb, demanding sacrifices.
18* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Pit is an EldritchAbomination demanding HumanSacrifice, which its cultists gladly provide. Ada is the cult leader's daughter, who doesn't really mind the sacrifice until her face comes up, and is willing to make it look like the Pit wants somebody else to survive.
19* BrotherSisterIncest: The father of Ada's baby is her brother, Jessaby.
20* CrapsackWorld: The film is set in a small town dominated by a HumanSacrifice cult worshipping an EldritchAbomination, where the ghosts of any sacrifices the being rejects wander the woods as tormented beings for all eternity. The residents are so brainwashed into this cult that they'll kill their children for it.
21* DeadlyEuphemism: Being "taken" by the Pit entails death.
22* DisproportionateRetribution: Ada gets her thigh burned with a cigarette for not submitting to a virginity test.
23* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:All of the deaths in the film were for nothing. The town is still in the grip of the Pit, and nobody has managed to escape it.]]
24* FateWorseThanDeath: Being shunned by the Pit means you must walk the forest forever.
25* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Ada's throat is slit to sate the Pit's wrath.]]
26* HumanSacrifice: The Jug Faces are the Pit's way of picking a sacrifice.
27* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Pit is an EldritchAbomination who demands sacrifices in return for healing people and kills random people when it doesn't get them. It is rather picky, and will reject victims to be tormented ghosts for all eternity, but no explanation is given as to ''how'' it chooses its victims. It's never even really ''seen'', only appearing in POV shots. However, Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad, as the film heavily employs NothingIsScarier.
28* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:The Pit and Loriss]]
29* KickTheDog: Loriss burning her daughter's legs with a cigarette to make her comply with a virginity test.
30* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Sustin is immediately remorseful after he learns that his whipping Ada caused her to miscarry.]]
31* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ghosts here are rejected sacrifices forced to haunt the domain of the god who rejected them.
32* NothingIsScarier: This film is very atmospheric, and we know barely anything about the Pit. We don't even see the creature inside it.
33* TeenPregnancy: Ada is impregnated by Jessaby.
34* TownWithADarkSecret: The main characters sacrifice people to an EldritchAbomination for healing powers.
35* WallBangHer: Jessaby and Ada have sex against a tree.
