comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer makes it out to be a psychological thriller/horror/sci-fi much in the same vein as Vincenzo Natali's earlier film Cube, when in actuality it is a lighthearted buddy comedy that is almost nothing like that.

Minimalistic Cover Art

comment
Minimalistic Cover Art: The poster only features the two protagonists on a white background. And the said protagonists don't cover much space there. Besides the title, billing block and the company logos, that's pretty much it.

Reality Warper: Played with. The two protagonists eventually realize that they can change the featureless environment with their own thoughts, but they can only will things out of existence; they can't create anything new.

The Aloner: The protagonists. Hordes of angry people are settling on their house, they are hiding in a room, crying and hugging... and suddenly everything apart from them and the house disappears, replaced by a big, white, surprisingly bouncy nothing.

The Power of Hate: If Andrew and Dave focus in on an object while in the void (often how much they dislike it), it disappears from existence. They weaponize this on each other in the climax.

comment
Humiliation Conga: Ludicrously exaggerated in the film's setup to show just how bad Andrew and Dave have it in life. Dave is openly ridiculed by all of his coworkers and boss, his girlfriend never loved him and she goes as far as to embezzle over $27,000 from his company and blame him for it. As for Andrew, the one time he goes outside ends up getting him accused of child molestation.

Mistaken for Pedophile: Andrew, who suffers from extreme agoraphobia, is visited by a girl scout, but gets so panicked that he grabs her arm and tells her to leave. He later gets a knock on the door from the girl's mother, who mistakenly believes that he forcibly kissed her. However, this is because she was trying extremely aggressively to sell him cookies, and after he made her leave, she made a deliberate false allegation against him that he molested her, as revenge for not buying her cookies.

Girl Scouts Are Evil: The Girl Scout that helps Andrew when he locks himself out of his house tries to help ease his obvious anxiety; when he demands that she leaves on grounds of him being too awkward, she retaliates by accusing him of molesting her.

Serial Escalation: The film takes this to the very extreme as the two main characters gain the ability to wish the universe into nothingness, including themselves, leading to a finale where all that's left is the two characters' heads and a turtle on an infinite expanse of white light.
