5	Despite the naming, this film is not a sequel to previous asylum film, ''11/11/11'', or a prequel to ''Film/ThirteenThirteenThirteen'' although they all share a theme of killer children.
6	----
7	!! This film exhibits the following tropes:
8
9	* AgainstMyReligion: Veronica and Carlos try to refuse a Caesarean as it's "against their religion".
10	* BedmateReveal: Inverted. At one point, Veronica wakes up to her husband performing oral sex on her. Then she looks to the side and sees him lying next to her, asleep.
11	* DepartmentOfChildDisservices: Seemingly the case when they take Sebastian away from Veronica after Carlos dies. They bring him right back and we quickly learn that Veronica's sister, Gabriella, lost her child to Social Services before the events of the film.
12	* DoubleDoubleTitle: ''12/12/12''.
13	* DownerEnding: The film ends with Sebastian having killed just about everyone in the film.
14	* EnfantTerrible: From the beginning, it's obvious that Sebastian is evil.
15	* HijackedByJesus: Theoretically its about the MayanDoomsday (despite getting the date wrong), but the film's imagery and [[TheAntichrist themes]] are more in line with a different religious apocalypse.
16	* HollywoodSatanism: Mahari's cult hits every point from the ominous robes to the naked female sacrifices to the scrawled Baphomet symbols on the walls of their hideout. However, they are instead indicated as a Mayan doomsday cult.
17	* ManBitesMan: Sebastian seems to have the ability to instantly be on someone's neck and ripping their throat out.
18	* PsychicAssistedSuicide: This is the primary method by which Sebastian kills.
19	* ScreamingBirth: Veronica has a very difficult labor due to the fact that she hasn’t dialated at all in several hours and despite the epidural she still seems to be in an enormous amount of pain. Even pushing with all her strength creates no progress and she’s screaming and even gagging from the force of the contractions which convinces her obgyn to perform a c section.
20	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Sebastian performs oral sex on his mother within a week of his birth and spies on a bathing Gabriella later in the film.
