The City Narrows | |
| Aftershock / int_30ef2781 | comment |
The City Narrows: The first half of the movie shows the fun parts of Chile: hot chicks, parties, touristy photo ops and all-around good times. Once the earthquake hits, the tone becomes dark and we see the characters navigating slum-like environments full of chaos and violent atrocities. | |

Kick the Dog: The tour guide girl seems cool, friendly and of course attractive at first. But when we see her out at the nightclub, all dolled up and in diva mode, she rudely and aggressively shoves an older, fragile janitor lady out of her way as she leaves the restroom. | |

Butt-Monkey: Gringo, Ariel and Irina. See Trauma Conga Line. And let's not forget the poor janitor lady. After being bullied and shoved around by the hot Wu-Tang fangirl, she helps the characters find an escape ladder from the collapsing nightclub. Then she's instantly killed by a car with zero warning. | |

Abortion Fallout Drama | |
| Aftershock / int_545f8c91 | comment |
Abortion Fallout Drama: At first, seemingly not a huge part of the plot, but during an argument between Kylie and Monica, it's revealed Monica had one in the past. It becomes more unsettling alongside the subplot of the legend about babies and orphans killed and dumped unceremoniously underground by corrupt nuns and priests. | |

Guns Do Not Work That Way | |
| Aftershock / int_95ff52c7 | comment |
Guns Do Not Work That Way: Mrs. Martínez shoots Pollo once in the chest with her Glock-looking pistol, and the slide stays cocked back as it would if the clip had been emptied. The slide is then shown returned to the forward position in the next frame. Someone with even rudimentary gun knowledge could have caught and corrected this easily during filming. | |

Upper-Class Twit: Monica may be one, or may have had a past as one. Kylie roasts her for living an unproductive, hedonistic life financed by her father's money, and doing things like leaving the family and traveling to India to "find herself." It is further revealed she got knocked up and had an abortion, also financed by Dad. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Aftershock / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: The firefighter driving the fire truck. The truck crashes, and the characters find the passenger begging for help, and the driver's neck or throat skewered with a large piece of lumber - barely alive, but near death and unable to speak. The characters seem distrustful of the passenger, and the driver looks like he may have something to say, but he can't talk and soon dies anyway. | |

Hope Spot: When Monica makes her way to the beach, it looks as though she has finally reached a location safe from the effects of the earthquake. However, as the camera view pans around, a massive tsunami (the one they kept expecting but hadn't seen yet) is revealed to be thundering toward her, seconds away from the shore. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| Aftershock / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: There are a couple of things that could be construed as an implication of supernatural causes behind the earthquake. The legend of the orphans and babies conceived by corrupt church officials and dumped in the tunnels seems totally forgotten once the earthquake drama starts, but is revisited when Monica (having had an abortion herself) discovers the discarded baby corpses underground. This, together with a symbolic shot of a large crucifix coming down off a wall and being smashed and desecrated, can almost make it look like this is some sort of epicentre of evil, where horrible things happened and Nature is striking back with deadly force, wrecking symbols of religious faith in the process. | |

He even claims "Look, I don't have tattoos! I'm not a criminal!" Of course, he does have tattoos, concealed by his clothing, and he is definitely a criminal. | |

| Aftershock / int_dde43ab | comment |
Tattooed Crook: Played straight when the movie uses this as The Reveal that the seemingly helpful fireman is confirmed to be a bad guy solely by the presence of his tattoos. Also functions as Fridge Horror, due to the fact that earlier he claimed not to have any, and so could not be a criminal. | |
