The main theme in this film is supernatural as it is about a wife who gets possed whilst she is on her honeymoon with her husband. The way this is presented is by the use of music in the bacground that link to the images on the screen. For example when the husband is trying to find his wife the music in the background is very tense and then shoots to dead silence. The use of white ragged clothing also helps present a supernatural theme as it shows the consrast in good and evil when it gets dirty.
