  • Complete Monster:
    • Parker Nash is a seemingly well-meaning real estate agent who is in fact a cultist worshipper of the ancient Yog-Kothag. Nash murdered an entire family in Yog-Kothag's name over a century ago, gaining immortality from his master in the process, and spends the next decades perpetrating a variety of other massacres, using a zombified victim as his triggerman. Having arranged the locations of his many brutal slaughters to align with the shape of a pentagram, Nash plans to perform a ritual that will summon Yog-Kothag to Earth, dooming humankind to torment and destruction in exchange for Nash receiving ultimate power alongside his god. Though Marc and Reggie thwart this doomsday plan after Nash mauls their friend Leo to death, Nash responds by turning Marc into his newest zombie slave and tries to force him to kill Reggie, so as to give her the most painful death imaginable.
    • Yog-Kothag himself is the sapient, malicious evil god that Parker Nash worships, a god "so evil the other gods ganged up on him" and sealed him in a quasar. Able to manifest in limited forms, Yog-Kothag has Nash commit massacre after massacre over the years as human sacrifices, enough to feed Yog-Kothag and bring him to Earth so it can destroy humanity. Yog-Kothag is personally evil and sadistic to extremes most other eldritch horrors aren't, personally torturing a magician to death, corrupting the unborn fetus of a pregnant woman Nash murdered on its behalf, and ultimately dragging Nash screaming into eternal torture for having failed him.
  • Special Effect Failure: One scene has a conspicuously-animated lightning bolt. Also, there's a demon baby which utterly fails to scare people. Not to mention a few cardboard photos.
  • Squick: The Grossest Scene In The Whole Damn Movie, where Holly appears to Marc, states that she wants to keep her baby, and pulls it out of her womb. Not even low-budget effects get in the way of the revulsion.
