Artistic License – Biology | |
| The Reaping / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Members of the Satanic cult sacrifice all their children to Satan, except for the firstborn, who are inducted into the cult, to ensure the cult itself can survive. In reality, you would need (on average) two offspring to survive (and reproduce) per couple just for the population to remain stable. Even if the cultists recruit outsiders to marry the kids they don't sacrifice, attrition would still wipe them out, as some of each generation are likely to die, fail to reproduce at all, or leave the cult. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| The Reaping / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Katherine lost faith and became a Hollywood Atheist as a result of an ultimately disastrous expedition to Sudan that she and her family went on. Some religious people blamed her preaching for the year-long drought and both her husband and their young daughter were killed as sacrifices to their god. The townspeople of Haven have no qualm against killing their own second born children once they've reached puberty in their satanic cult rituals. | |

Devil, but No God: Played with. Most of the paranormal events of the film are attributed to the Devil, but they are actually acts of God, specifically through an angel. That said, the Devil is not absent, as he stills makes his presence felt by incinerating Father Costigan. | |

Skeptic No Longer: Katherine is the Agent Scully, convinced these "plagues" have a scientific explanation, as a result of her husband and daughter being killed as a sacrifice. When Loren summons a horde of locusts (out of nowhere) to kill men about to attack her, Katherine is forced to admit there is absolutely no scientific explanation for that and admits something paranormal/supernatural is occurring. | |

Once More, with Clarity: As Doug begs Katherine to kill Loren before the next plague as he is a firstborn, flashbacks center on Father Costigan describing how the firstborn were spared of the satanic sacrifices over the second-born. Doug telling Katherine that he's descended from a long line of only children. A pregnant Isabelle not caring at all about her unborn second child's gender. And Loren's mother asking Katherine why won't she kill her daughter. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Doug notes that he and Katherine both lost the people they loved (Doug lost his wife, and Katherine lost her daughter and husband in Sudan). And that their personal losses drove them to lose their faith. Doug actually converted to satanism not long after. And uses this once again to try to get Katherine to convert to satanism alongside him and the townspeople of Haven. | |

Breeding Cult | |

Breeding Cult: A satanic cult sacrifices every second-born child once they reach puberty to create "a perfect child with the eyes of the Devil" to bring them power. The townspeople of Haven are revealed to be this as they merely continue to produce more children simply for the means of sacrificing them in their satanic rituals eventually. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Reaping / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The biblical plagues were used by God against the wicked, this is a hint that Loren is Good All Along. The first time they arrive at the Church of Haven, there is already a hint the whole village are cultists, on the sign for The Church of Haven, instead of using "o" alphabet, they use the "hook" symbol. Everyone in the town of Haven has two children or more. Some of the women already have a toddler and pregnant with another one on the way. Isabelle says that she and her pregnant neighbor are just weeks apart. Isabelle tells Katherine that he have fulgurite wind chimes because they get a lot of lightning in their town. Most in three parishes. When Katherine asks one of the pregnant women Isabelle if she's having a boy or a girl, she nonchalantly replies "Heck, doesn't matter to me". This is because she's anticipating sacrificing her second born once it's reached puberty. "Their first-born are branded and left unharmed to carry on the genetic line." As this line is spoken by Father Costigan, some children are looking eerily at Katherine. Doug telling Katherine he came from a long line of only children. This comes back to bite him and the townspeople of Haven in the end as the last of the plagues is death of the firstborns. Doug warning Katherine not to call TV stations or round up scientists for the town of Haven. He claims that their town's the best kept secret in the bible and not wanting it turned into a punchline. This is actually because Doug was hiding the dark truth that the town of Haven is populated with satanic cultists. When confronted by Loren's mother who asks Katherine if she's going to kill Loren, Katherine assures her no. Loren's mother then asks why not. This is not because Loren is supposedly evil but really because Loren's mother is one of the satanic cultists who tried to sacrifice their second born (i.e. Loren) in their rituals. How is it Ben dies down below in the sacrificial chambers if Loren is outside waiting above ground? And not long after Ben dies, Doug suddenly appears inside the sacrificial chambers claiming to have just got there. Turns out Doug actually murdered Ben to keep his mouth shut and blamed it on Loren. In the erotic dream she has, Katherine appears to be drunk and disoriented during sex with Doug. | |

Suspiciously Apropos Music: The gospel song "Take Me To The Water" by Nina Simone plays out as Katherine and Doug have sex in her erotic dream and their threat Loren watches them from the outside. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Or what she had almost done. Katherine is left even more confused and horrified that she was almost tricked into killing an innocent child. | |

Or Was It a Dream? | |
| The Reaping / int_ac36578e | comment |
Or Was It a Dream?: Katherine wakes up after a steamy dream involving her and Doug and one too many nightmares about Loren and being back in Sudan and goes to get a drink of water in the kitchen. Only to find that she tracked white sand from Sudan into the kitchen and realizes she wasn't dreaming. Flashbacks later reveal that the supposed consensual sex between her and Doug was actually Doug drugging and raping the intoxicated Katherine to impregnate her with the Antichrist. | |

Hollywood Atheist | |
| The Reaping / int_da46a2c0 | comment |
Katherine lost faith and became a Hollywood Atheist as a result of an ultimately disastrous expedition to Sudan that she and her family went on. Some religious people blamed her preaching for the year-long drought and both her husband and their young daughter were killed as sacrifices to their god. | |

Sex for Solace: Katherine and Doug seemingly sleep together not long after their conversation about grieving their dead loved ones (Katherine losing her husband and daughter and Doug losing his wife). It turns out to just be an erotic dream she was having. Then it's revealed it wasn't a dream and it was something far worse. | |
