Tormented Souls II - Beyond the Horror

Despite looking the part, sequel was a royal pain in the ass to play.

But you're here for other reasons.

Famous paintings

Christ Carrying the Cross - El Greco

Jesus with the Eucharist at the Last Supper - Juan de Juanes

Knife-wielding doll vs Grey child¹

¹Outside of North America, Midwich Elemenemy was redesigned and renamed Mumbler.

Yes I do look fucking stupid, now leave me alone.

Grunt, grunt.

Probably a pig house vs Probably a dog house 

Awesome stuff.

Wheelchair

Coming across the same thing In Silent Hill 3, Heather notes:

It's a wheelchair. Where's the person that was using it....?

Films

Cursed book vs Naturom Demonto - The Evil Dead

In the original, Caroline is knocked out and wakes up in Wildberger Hospital, finding her right eye has been surgically removed.  It's later revealed that a past version of herself did this on purpose so she can bypass a door.

Time travel bullshit is never explained.

Anyway.

Kill Bill

I'm certain Caroline's eyepatch is based on Elle Driver, aka California Mountain Snake, who in different circumstances, lost the same eye.

Fun fact.

Character was inspired by Madeleine (Christina Lindberg) in 1973 rape-and-revenge exploitation flick Thriller - A Cruel Picture.

Saw

Ugh... I think someone played a little game here.

Although Dr. Gordon did the unthinkable to escape filthy bathroom, we didn't see evidence until sequel.

Saw II

Continuity went astray

Saw III

Saw 3D aka Saw: The Final Chapter

And just for shiggles.

Gruff Rhys - Sadness Sets Me Free

(Ahem).

Part 2 - Arcade

Great Warrior II (left) and Metal Yay (right).

Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting⁴ and Metal Slug

⁴Colour scheme ensures it's not The World Warrior (1991) or first update Champion Edition.

Yay Man (left) and Wall art (right).

Puck Man (Japanese title for Pac-Man) and Mortal Kombat (2011).

Multiples

HELP ME is written in blood on a mirror.

Two sources immediately spring to mind.

Manhattan Baby (1982)

In the Processing Plant, there's a dead Great White Shark.

Yellow barrels vs Jaws 

After using a crowbar to prise open its mouth, the manual jack rewards Metal Plate - Triangle.

Perhaps I'm reaching, but principle is nigh on identical to Deep Blue Sea (1999).

A licence plate from a Mako is removed.

A nod to what Hooper finds inside tiger shark.

Spielberg wanted to direct a James Bond film, and hoped tribute would convince the powers that be:

Live and Let Die (1973)

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

Miscellany

The title of blackboard relating to a subplot of missing children reads:
Que la luz eterna envuelve a estos niños les brindes quesu recuerdo sea simpre fuerta y consuelo para quines los amos. 

Spanish to English translation:

May eternal light surround these children, and may their memory always be a strength and comfort to those who love them.

Giving an apple to dead teacher opens drawer containing snake figuerine. 

This is a classic tradition of pupils showing appreciation, as fruit symbolises a practical form of payment for knowledge.

As demonstrated by:

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Child's action figure vs He-Man

"I HAVE THE POWER!"

Plastic chair vs Devil May Cry 5 mod

As it appears in original:

It's not conclusive, but Vergil appears to leaning against demonic tree Qliphoth.

Finally.

Three colourful plants vs herbs - Resident Evil

I'm not a botany expert, but mixing all three fully restores health and cures poison.
