The Hollow Child / int_22a59b45	comment	Self-Harm: Sam does this whenever she's distressed. We see that her arms are crisscrossed with old scars or newer wounds, and she cuts herself on screen too.

The Hollow Child / int_49f20c6a	comment	Gory Discretion Shot: Subverted. The movie seems to enjoy rubbing the two gory scenes there are in the faces of the viewers. First, Logan is attacked by Olivia in the woods and there is often a close up of his bone sticking out of his leg, and another is Emily's bloody corpse with a close-up of her eye being crushed in Olivia's fingers.

The Hollow Child / int_85c4ebe0	comment	Bisexual Love Triangle: Emily, Sam's best friend, it turns out is attracted to her. She kisses Sam, who is surprised by this and seems unsure what to think. Later too Logan, a boy who becomes her friend, kisses Sam as well and she reacts the same way as with Emily. Sam doesn't choose either of them since she's busy pursuing the Hollow Ones (it isn't clear if she finds either attractive too) and both are murdered.

The Hollow Child / int_f8d24fbb	type	BigSisterInstinct
The Hollow Child / int_f8d24fbb	comment	Big Sister Instinct: Samantha sees her younger foster sister Olivia as more annoying than anything else initially. Once she disappears in the woods then returns in a form Sam recognizes as not really her, she sets out to get her back. No adults will believe and aid Sam, so it's left to her. Sam greatly risks her own life doing this, but saves Olivia in the end, with the film closing on her saying she'll always be there to protect her. Sam had lost her own biological sister earlier, with obvious guilt over not being able to help, so this serves as a way that she makes up for it.
